      Our church sends a feed to some service tied to Roku and then streams it on the Roku.

      Yup, lots of really simple, cheap solutions.

        Am I understanding that the use case of this is to act like a surveillance system for the church? But without the recording aspect?

        If so wouldn't browser-capable IP camera's be enough for this setup?

          More like an overflow room, nursery feed etc.

            So then just to broadcast the sermons into another room, a live stream of sorts.

              That's our point, stick with IP and you get that "for free". Anyone with a phone could be given access.

                @scottalanmiller That was my thought, going to analog would be more painful and you'd need to have a server to broadcast it

                  Yeah, which they don't plan to do, but it's a feature that they'd literally pay to throw away.

                    So I have a few questions, if this something that is a one and done, or that they'd like to have setup and usable year after year?

                    Are there ethernet cables available for this setup, or is this a wireless only approach?

                      Um no you don't. Analog is a bad choice but you don't need a server. Not true at all.

                        Yeah, the camera will act as a "server" because all analogue is is signal on the bus. So anything on the bus can see the signal.

                          Short of getting TV's with rgy inputs you would, plus splitters etc. Get a modern tv or two, with browsers and point the browser to the IP address of a singular webcam.

                          Done.

                            You could even broadcast with Twitch or a streaming service with an IP camera or something attached to a laptop. Use something like OBS.

                                Which would provide a global broadcast, and not just local to the church. So you could reach members who may be travelling but want to attend their local church etc.

                                Of course this adds the laptop or an Asus Brix component, but still very viable.

                                  Yeah, needing old fashioned cable input is part of the extra expense.

                                    All of which could further your outreach and audience as @DustinB3403 mentioned. All while making it stupid easy and basically free to do in house.

                                      I'll check on the model of the TVs. I doubt they have web capabilities.

                                      If they don't does someone know a model of a media device than can web in to the camera and convert the feed?

                                        There would be no conversion.

                                        The TV is just accessing a website (that is broadcast) from your camera.

                                          Yup, NTG was doing this for hospitals by 2001. Super simple. Just plug in the camera... done. Any web browser worked.

                                            Ours uses a Roku. They stream the feed to a service. You can get the feed anywhere, and they use Rokus locally in the church to get the feed. However this adds a ton of latency. Like the feed is around 5-10 mins behind.
