Connecting a small remote camera.

Apologies if this has been covered before but I can't find an answer. I'm wanting to connect a tiny camera to an OBS stream to youtube. The main content if from a different camera but I want the remote one to show a scoreboard 'in picture'. The scoreboard is not within pysical reach of a cable or power. There isn'f a lot of room next to the score display to place a large camera (without obscuring it) so looking for something small. The image doesn't need ot be high res. I've looked at some of the cheep 'wireless' cameras but they all seem to connect to phones and don;t have a way to connect to anything else. I'm very new ot OBS and streaming so looking for some advice please. I've heard the terms of VLC and RTSP used, so I'm guessing i need something to connect to them? Any advice and suggestings on how to achieve this and possible products, for a newbe would be very welcome.

Buy cheap camera fpv (yeah for drone), receiver UVC (usb video standard) and connect to computer.
Now you have new video source, crop element or use ocr to read scoreboard.
