Best NDI Cameras for live production

The appeal is one cable carrying video, control and power, and it is real - until the network it rides on turns out to be the office switch. Full-bandwidth NDI is not gentle, and the difference between it and the compressed variants is the difference between a dedicated gigabit switch and a shared one.

So specify the switch alongside the cameras: enough non-blocking capacity, a PoE budget that covers every camera at once rather than on paper, and multicast handled deliberately. Latency is small but not zero, which matters the moment a presenter can see themselves on a screen in the room.
