Low Cost used HD PTZ Camera

[dave.swartz]

I hesitate to provide purchase recommendations in an open forum since there are so many possible ways to do something but this combo of used equipment is a particularly inexpensive way to get HD video.

Sony EVI-H100V HD PTZ HD Color Video Security Camera Ebay- $39.98
BENFEI DVI to HDMI, Bi-directional DVI to HDMI male to Female Adapter Amz- $6.90
MPA-AC1 Power Supply (For Sony with pin in connector) Amz- $16.49
Sony RM-EV100 Remote Control for PTZ Cameras Ebay- $10.13
Cost $73.50

We used one for a funeral in the Cultural Center and it worked great. I used it with an ATEM mini switcher but there are many other options for capturing video over HDMI. There is better stuff out there but this is still pretty good video at a really low price point.
I am just sharing what works for us. Your mileage and results may vary.

Please post if you have experience with other options to help us all learn.
