Hello,
I am trying to mount static camera(s) to video a football match (5 a side). I want to be able to mount a few cameras above one of the goals on a wall to cover each part of the pitch.
Is there some sort of device available that has 2 or 3 cameras pointing in different directions and recording at once? I can only really mount them on the wall behind one of the goals so I cannot put one at each end of the pitch..

From that angle, I can't record the whole of the pitch with one camera so before I go and get three separate cameras, is there a better way?
Thanks!
 
I am using some open source software to track objects and ultimately I want to take the 3 streams and automatically create one video stream. Every camera shot the ball (the object being tracked) is in will be the one that is used in the final video. I may possibly also look at creating some further logic, such as, when the ball enters a particular area of the pitch count it as a 'highlight' to create a shorter highlights clip of a match.
However, all of this will be post-processed so I just need the 2 or 3 cameras recording at all times.

I think I may get away with 2 cameras but I will have to check the angles involved. I was just hoping there was something already out there but I cannot find anything.
