For a study of parent-child interaction, we would like to be able to position 4 cameras at different points in the room (not fixed installation; tripods or placed on other surfaces), and to be able to control all 4 from one computer/device. Ideally this would be outside the room where the cameras are, but not necessarily. The quality does not need to be outstanding, but we do want to be able to pan/tilt and zoom, and be able to make out facial expressions and gestures. Cameras will be 6-10 feet from subjects. Don't necessarily have to record sound, since we can use a separate recorder.
We have been looking at some inexpensive security camera sets, such as this one:

But it's hard to figure out the quality as well as a number of other details from the documentation available online. We're open to any suggestions about inexpensive camera set ups (100s rather than 1000s of dollars!)
Thanks, and kindest regards to all,
