I'm looking for suggestions for a good camera to be placed in the rear of the house for the purpose of feeding a backstage monitor. Average to high price range.
How are you sending video and audio to backstage? What sort of monitor(s) are you using? What sort of resolution do you want? Is latency a consideration?
I am working at the moment at a small theatre that is using an IR sucreity video system and you can see the actors in the dark and throught the scrim workes very well for seeing in the dark

I, too, work at a small theater using a security system. The IR is great for seeing in the dark, but the latency is quite long because of all the video processing. It makes calling visual cues off the monitor very difficult.
We use an inexpensive Harbor Freight 'security' system with coax to the monitors and it works fine. I did get an additional infrared light to shine on the stage to get the blackout images more clear.
