Hi everyone
Our club is looking to replace it's video system which we use to view and project demos. We have a projector which we will continue to use as the hall does not have one built in. We wnat to replace two cameras, be able to zoom in, perferably remotely.
I am sure there are threads where this has been discussed but I can't find them!
Any advice on type of cameras and other kit needed would be very welcome. We don't have large funds as we are a small club and in normal times we have around 35 members maximum at our meetings.
Thanks in advance
Dave

Dave for my live streaming I purchased two Practika camcorders from Amazon. I think they were about £119 each. They come with a remote control for focusing and in my opinion they are pretty good.They don't have a multi socket (as our club cameras have) but they do have an HDMI socket which will allow you to use a capture card to convert to USB. I hope this is of some use to you.

Thanks John
I hope you're keeping well.
That is very helpful. Is there another gizmo that links the 2 cameras together so you can switch from one to another? or do you project both t the same time? Could you send me a sketch perhaps? I use Zoom so I understand that bit, it's getting two cameras linked to the PC so we can zoom the demo that we aren't sure about.
Cheers Dave
