[Avid-L2] Off-Topic: Multi-camera NDI recording for non-local clients?

With everyone at my company under "stay at home" orders, as well as our clients, we have been looking into ways to continue our video production with various video conference tools. Some good stuff, some not so great. Zoom, Webex, BlueJeans, Skype, etc, etc.

Last week, using a vendor's solution, we were able to produce a short series of informational videos with 3 featured speakers and slides from a PowerPoint deck. The speakers and the production crew viewers watched from laptops and did screen recordings at 2 separate locations: one recorded the switched program, the other recorded full screen video of the speakers. Took it into Premiere for post and things went pretty well.

BUT, this was a bit of a slow and clunky workflow.

Ideally, we'd run everything through a setup like a NewTek Tricaster where we could record each camera input as well as the final switched source simultaneously. Camera feeds would come in via an NDI or OBS video feed over the internet from any device - smartphone, desktop, laptop or remote camera.

The problem we have encountered so far has been that 95% of the NDI stuff we've reviewed has been for closed network IP video - the cameras and the software/hardware are all supposed to be on the same local network. Churches, hospitals, concerts and live events for streaming, and so on.

What my company really need is a recording (or live switching) solution that allows my "control room" to be here in Chicago with camera feeds coming in from multiple remote sources - smartphones, laptops, even if we ship them a NDI remote camera.

We are looking at various solutions: mimoLive, Wirecast, Tricaster, OBS, and others.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a solution like this?

Or do you have a reseller you could point me to?

Thanks!!
