How to Shoot and stream video live with 40 feet away from computer?

[Lucas 7D]

Hi Guys

Quick question. My friend's client wants to make sure some work gets done (destruction of used aircrafts parts) and he can't fly in so the company wants to film and stream high quality video of the destruction process so that they can watch it live over the web. He mentioned that he may need to move the camera around as there are machines that destroy the airplane parts. He also mentioned maybe 40-50 ft. of distance between camera and computer. He has a budget of $1000. Zooming would be helpful since he has to stay away at least 10 ft from certain machines but wants to capture detail.

Which camera would you guys recommend? How to go about streaming the stuff?

Everyone in this forum has always been very helpful so i'm sure someone knows the best way to handle this. This is no high end shoot. Just a good quality image for streaming details in video image. Everything shot in daylight.

Thanks!

Use the camera on the computer (or a connected webcam) and connect via SKYPE.

Cheap ,simple.

Or Ustream. There was a lot of live coverage of Occupy Wall Street coming from iPhones using Ustream last year

I agree on computer or iPhone/ iPad. But if you really did have to do it with a real camera, you would use a cat5 cable with a balun on each end, connected to the composite output/ input. PM me if you would like more info.
