Event livestream

[Brutus_]

Hello!
 

I'm trying to resolve specific situation with event live stream. It's HEMA fencing event and I want to stream every ring with single camera on separate streams.

My idea is use phone for every ring with OBS cam and send data to singe computer with 4 instances of OBS streaming to YouTube.
Do you have any tips how to get data from phone to PC? I think wifi won't be enough and stability of tournament management software is higher priority.
Other idea was to use USB-C to ethernet and run cables but I also need to charge phones. I did not find any USB-C POE adapters with data.
Maybe not use phones? We have low budget, around 2000€ for whole setup so buy expensive gear is not possible.

Any other ideas?
Thanks for answers.

Are you adding overlays in OBS? Otherwise why not stream from the phones directly to youtube. 

 

If its a one time event I'd look into renting equement. But that budget is probably enough to get some stand alone cameras and capture cards. How long would the cable runs be to the main computer?

Unfortunately overlays are required and I want manage all streams from one place. Streaming directly from phones was an idea but I dropped out of it.

We have 3-4 events trough the year and in Slovakia there is not any company with these equipment to rent.

Distance is 15 meters from closest ring and ~50 meters from the farthest.

I'd probably get some cheaper cameras then, like a GH4 and a dummy battery for them. Then get HDMI to HD base t adapter and run some long cables, and then get some USB capture cards. Should look a good amount better than the phones and fit under budget.
