Advice on inventory for a broadcasting device

Projects General Guidance
1

I'm trying to figure out if my project is feasible and if the components are suitable.
Please read the plan and let me know where I could improve.

The project
Install a device near a bird's nest.
The device should have a camera and hi quality microphones.
This device is at 100 meters away from a wifi router, which is connected to the internet.
The wifi router can ensure max 1 Mb/s upload speed for the nest device.

The device is supposed to broadcast live video with sound. It is desired that the live video to be watched simultaneously by up to 20 users.

The components proposed

  • board, camera and sensors module: Sony Spresense
  • wifi module: either HC-12 or NRF24L01?
  • microphone model?
  • does HC-12 connect directly to the router or another wifi module is required?

Software

  • streaming media server or YouTube?

I'll come back with more information if needed.

As best I can see, this project is totally unrelated to an Arduino.

There are no doubt, commercial devices appropriate.

Actually Sony Spresense can be programmed with Arduino IDE and that's why I asked here.

But what commercial devices could you suggest for such project?
The thing is I want to have control over the code, not just a plug and play device.

So it claims, but precisely what that means is another matter entirely. I have not heard of it before, don't know who here has but it is seriously expensive so unless it outperforms a Pi in some fashion I would consider it entirely uninteresting.

I don't know, obviously some sort of WiFi Webcam of which there are plenty.

I doubt 1 Megabit per second is all that great for live video but I suppose at reduced resolution. I don't see either HC-12 or NRF24L01 as being WiFi.

What do you imagine doing by "having control over the code"? :roll_eyes:

An ESP32-cam may be able do what you want and it costs a measly £8.00

And it can be programmed with the Arduino IDE if you install the appropriate extra software.
