Hello I am tech savvy teacher and I would like to stream my lectures to my remote students at a higher quality than would be possible given the classrooms’ current equipment. We have in class recording for audio and video but it isn’t very good. I have a recording studio for audio at home so I am set for audio equipment and I have fallen in love with OBS for organizing the actual stream.
The only thing I am currently struggling with is a camera. The main problem with our current video camera is that remote students can’t really see the whiteboard clearly due to grainy and pixelated visuals. What I would like is to get a camera on a tripod about 10-15 feet in front of me that could capture me and the white board so that students watching on a laptop screen remotely could actually read the board.
I’m going out of my own pocket to do this (at just the time we need tech resources the most all of those budgets have dried up). I’m basically looking for the most reasonably priced option that would get my writing readable by students. Any thoughts on cameras?
Seems like it would need to be a step up from a webcam or gopro. But it doesn’t seem like a 4k DSLR would be necessary either. I’m just not sure where to go between those two ends. Any advice in general would be much appreciated. Would a 1080 camcorder work? Do I need a DSLR etc. Thank you!
