Hi all, given the current climate, I've been looking around a lot for IP cameras to be able to live stream a church service. I've seen the Mevo camera which would work a treat, but is portable and I wanted something more permanent.
There are many cameras on this site, but honestly, I'm getting myself in a bit of a tiz. I have some questions i'm unsure about

There are many cameras on this site, but honestly, I'm getting myself in a bit of a tiz. I have some questions i'm unsure about
- Do I need to use external software to control the camera or is it controllable via it's own internal web page accessed via a phone app or PC?
- Can I stream directly to Facebook via RTSP or RTMP or do I need something like OBS on a PC?
- Do I just connect into router via Ethernet/WIFI or does it need to go through a PC?
- Not sure what megapixel I need. I guess higher the better
- I think H.264 is what I need to stream to FB
- Ideally looking for a camera with a built in mic, if not, then one can be added
- Not sure if PTZ is needed or a fixed position is what they want
- No need for IP ratings as it will be indoors
- IR I don't think is needed, but I wouldn't complain if it was in there
- 4K is overkill and not needed
- No requirement to record anything (just stream), but maybe have that as an option in the future if they decide to want that
