What is the goal/operation capabilities of the camera? Do they need a high level of zoom? Do you have a picture or an idea where you will be mounting the camera?

It will be mounted on the cieling.

They want to be able to move it around and I believe zoom in on a speaker or something like that

So are they looking to record/broadcast audio as well?

How big is the church/how far away will the camera be from the speaker?

The entire room is about 60 X 60ft and it will probably be about 30 ft away

They have a smaller 20 x 20 room as well that they want one.

There's very few scenarios to put a PTZ in a 20x20 room.

I agree and that one I am making an effort to get them to change their mind

Is the ceiling a dropped ceiling or sheetrock?

Hanwha XNP-6120H - 12x Zoom

It looks like a normal dome camera.

We also have recessed housings if you only want the bubble sticking out. In this case you could use any of our PTZs, including ones with higher zoom...

Do a recessed inceiling housing if this is sheet rock for appearance. You can get it from pretty much any major manufacturer-- american dynamics, avigilon, axis, dahua, hanwha, hikvision, honeywell, uniview. Pretty much everyone-- even Pelco.

Will the camera need IR emitters? That will rule out the domes.

I use to use the magnetic drive PTZ that were usually on the broadcast side of camera manufacturers. I also fell into a niche of sleep labs and used magnetic drive PTZs. They are less obtrusive but most of all quiet.
