Camera suggestion for dance studio live feed?

[rufunky]

I'm looking for Camera suggestions to display a live feed for a dance studio.

This will have to be wirelessly streamed through a firetv stick so I'm not sure what resolution ( MP) would be the best choice.

I'm thinking 8MP ( 4k) which would be around 13.4mbps for each camera at 30fps . I will have 2 cameras but I do not think they will ever be played through the firestick at the same time.

Anyone have any suggestions or recomedations?

WiFi, and fireTV stick .. better check if your setup can handle "4K" with that setup ..

Theoretically it should.

Both the modems wifi and the fire TV stick suport 802.11a/b/g/n/ac ( 1300 Mbps on the 5 GHz band plus up to 450 Mbps on 2.4 GHz. ) and the fire TV stick supports 4k streaming.

Like they always say here "Go big or go home" and that NOT megapixel but sensor size!
4MP + high frame rate and bandwidth = no motion blur. Like a 5442 type camera with a 1 1/8 sensor.

I've seen dance studios use the Amcrest IP4M-1051
WIFI+8MP camera is relatively rare.

Is this a temporary install, semi-permanent for a time or permanent?
Why does it have to be wireless?

Permanent install.
The wireless is because the TV is not going to be conected to a PC to access the cams via browser and there will not be an NVR to directly connect to the TV.
I am open to any other suggestions if you have some though.

If all you want to do is have a monitor display what’s happening in the studio without recording, why not simply use an analog camera connected directly to the display via HDMI?

Honestly, I have looked for a quality 4k camera with hdmi out and cant seem to find anything other than a camcorder type camera.

maybe a GoPro?

Why does it need to be 4k?

There is a 1080p cam now and I'm trying to upgrade whats there.

I know Hikvision makes one and I'm fairly sure Axis/Avigilon have cameras with an HDMI out.
HDMI output cameras are commonly used for entrance cameras at stores with a monitor showing the customers that they are on camera.

Other idea is HDMI over Ethernet, HDMI over IP or IP Decoder.

Perhaps a decent 4K camera .. Canon? Nikon? ..

I know someone who got a Dahua / Hikvision PTZ camera for a lecture hall setup ..
