Newbie here.
I am trying to put together a budget video capture system for a High School football team. We hope to have one ptz camera on a portable pole in the end zone and one or more cameras elsewhere.
I want to go digital all the way. All camera feeds must be captured for eventual selected playback.
I am considering just using camcorders and laptops. Then I can migrate the files to a central server/PC.
The end zone camera needs to have a zoom that can shoot 100 yards and have a clear image of seven guys shoulder-to-shoulder.
Thoughts?
