Hi, I'm a bit of a noob to this. I've been asked to install a system for a charitable organisation (I’m doing it for free) in which parents can see and hear meetings going on in a room 20 meters away and a floor level above. Can anyone give me advice on a good camera that’s easily hard wire linked into a TV and it provides audio and visual. As I’m not charging them anything I would like to keep this cheap. Thanks Sol

Well the camera is only to give them an idea of what's going on. The audio is the important part. I would like both. I dont mind if the camera only focuses on the speaker. There will be no background noise, just the lecturer speaking. Even if a home video camera could be linked to a tv 25 meters away would be fine as it has everything i need

I did think to get a camera with a built in microphone but it probably is better separate. The camera only needs to see the front of a room where presentations will be shown approx 8 meters length covering the teacher and the projector screen beside him. The room is approx 12 meters by 15 meters. I presumed wired connection would be more robust, reliable and better quality over the distance if it could be done. Just looking for decent quality, reliable camera only to be used in well lit area and a microphone. Both preferably fixed to the ceiling (2.5 meters high). Used for 5 hours a day during meeting times for two months a year max. I would like it to be able to connect to a large standard TV. So coax, scart, av etc. Has to display on the TV whilst the presentation is going on, recording not required Any more info required? Thanks for your interest in my needs!
