Has anyone here tried to convert a mirrorless or dslr camera into an ip camera using the HDMI out? If so, what were the problems you ran into? I’m looking to build a semi-affordable low light monster of a cctv
As some people might know, the Sony A7s i & ii share the same sensor used by Sony VB770. The A7s can be found on the used market for around 500$
The A7s can be used continuously by plugging in a usb power source, and can provide a clean 4k image out of the hdmi port
My plan is to hook it up to a compact h265/h264 encoder like the Kiloview e3 (450 usd) , and then send the stream to my BlueIris machine
Housings that can fit these cameras (with fan and heating) can be found on AliExpress for around 100 to 200$
Any experiences with a setup like this?
