<div dir="ltr">I'd like to dredge this topic up, if I may. Currently we have 3 Panasonic AW-HE50SN cameras in our main stage (and one in our Recital Hall) that run to archival video recorders and monitors in the booth. They're nice cameras, but there is no IR and there is no easy way to watch the feed online (as near as I can tell). The next model (which I think some people on here have) got both those upgrades.<div><br></div><div>The biggest issue is that there is no tie in to the monitor in the green room (or any other space). They only run to their respective booths. The green room has a cable hook up, so I might be able to hijack that to run a feed (we have no cable service in the building), but that makes me a little anxious. </div><div><br></div><div>I'm currently toying around with the idea of finding something that will broadcast on a network and then hooking up a raspberry pi to the green room monitor for the internet stream.</div><div><br></div><div>Of course there's no budget for this, so I'm looking to proof-of-concept out of pocket. Any recommendations for a simple camera with IR and network streaming? Currently leaning towards a Foscam that I can get for 50 bucks from monoprice, but the IR visibility distance is limited. </div><div><br></div><div>Has anyone used a raspberry pi for a simple video stream? Does it have the brains? Am I making things overly complicated? (Am I using enough parentheses?)</div><div><br></div><div>John</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Mar 4, 2017 at 8:44 PM, Dan Sheehan via Stagecraft <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:stagecraft@theatrical.net" target="_blank">stagecraft@theatrical.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I think if I try cutting steel,<div>I'll really need a new camera.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><div><div class="h5"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Mar 3, 2017 at 12:28 PM, Jerry Durand via Stagecraft <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:stagecraft@theatrical.net" target="_blank">stagecraft@theatrical.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span><br>
