Other options
Mirrorless SLR
In the $2K to $6K range there are cameras that do high fps at excellent resolution. Issues:
- Communication: there is some sort of standardized api
- streaming: unclear what their streaming rates are and that never seems to be in the specs
- not waterproof — too fragile for rugged outdoors
Some choices:
outdoor network
* Axis Q1615 2.8-8.5mm lens
- confirm this can be outdoors. Something said indoors…
- takes a CS lens which Axis sells
* one possibility: Vivotek IB9391 (around $1K) - wide angle lens (10mm?)
Capture
Convert to HDMI
* Go Pro 10 media mod $80 * MediaMod specs
Capture card from HDMI
