Consider taking short clips and editing them into a show. I use my iPhone for this and put the clips into my Pro Show slideshows. I don’t make video-only shows.

Get a Lumix m43 system if you want a dSLR-form factor mirrorless that records unlimited video AND decent stills. With dual, hot-swappable SD card slots and a battery grip or AC adapter, the GH5 or GH5s can keep recording indefinitely. It has really good audio, too, unlike most dSLRs.
Most Canikons are limited to between 4 and 29:29:29 (<30 minutes). Either they overheat, comply with EU tariffs, or the video quality is a bit limited in some respects.

I use a Lumix G7 strictly for 4K video.

Lots of people do that. It is probably the best value in a hybrid (stills plus video) camera, although if they’re picky about sound, they use an external recorder and then sync that track to the camera track in post, and then mute the camera track.

Connect to a computer and capture the image in pc memory. Only problem is auto shut-off of some cameras. Most will stay on if external power is connected.

No DSLR will record video more than 29 min and 59 sec. Some, like some of the Sony's, will stop long before that because the sensor gets hot. There is a built in heat sensor and the computer will not let it overheat. I think some of the others out there do the same.
It is true that the clips are limited to 29 minutes 59 seconds, or a 4GB maximum file size, depending on which comes first, but many current cameras can be set to start a new clip automatically as soon as the first one ends. Of course, you need video software to tie these multiple clips together. The issues with heat were generally more prevalent with older models. I have recorded 2 hours on more than one occasion with my Canon 7D Mark II with a 64GB SD card and CF card without the video being shut down because of heat I can only get about 12 minutes in high-def into a 4 gb file so my individual clips will never reach or exceed 29 minutes and 59 seconds. I would have to shoot in a much lower quality mode to do that.

Any camera that will record 30 minutes or more of video is taxed as a video camera at a 40% more than a still camera (which is technically capable of recording more) but is limited to 29 min 59 sec to retain it's "still camera" status. It's a tax thing:)

Please check out Lumix GH4, GH5, GH5s, etc. NO 30 minute restriction.

I am not a videographer BUT I have read in all Canon DSLRs that the maximum record time for Video is 29 minutes and 59 seconds. Never tried it myself but that's what the manuals say.

I use my Nikon D7200 weekly for recording the sermon during the church service. The sermon usually lasts around 40 minutes. Natively, the D7200 limits the video recording to less than 30 minutes when recording on high quality SD cards. The D7200 can also shut down, so I read, if the electronics gets too hot during the shoot. However, I have never experienced this problem. But then again I'm recording in an air-conditioned environment. Things might be different, though, if I was shooting outside during the heat of summer.
In order to get around the imposed time limitations, I take the video/audio stream output from the HDMI port and feed it into an external recorder. Interestingly, the quality of the video output via the HDMI port is higher than letting the camera's internal CPU process the video before writing out to the SD card in slot 2. The video recorder uses a removable caddy which houses a 250GB SSD. I have recorded continuously for over 1 hour to the SSD in ProRes 4.2.2 at 30fps 1080P
