Do most DJ mixing boards have a line level

I'm assuming yes, but are there any caveats?

All DJ desks will have a Line Out. Sometimes it will be on XLR, more
often than not it will be an RCA jack. What they may not have is a
SPARE Line Out, over and above the one used for their own sound
system.

If you're aiming to walk into clubs etc. and ask for a feed from the
desk you need an assortment of adapter cables and other equipment. If
there's a pair of XLR Line inputs on the camera, presumably there's
also a pair of XLR Mic inputs? I'd start off with a pair of DI boxes.
Place these near the desk and hook up whatever outputs are available.
Then run XLRs to the camera. This gives you input flexibility and a
ground lift - useful should you wish to run the camera on it's mains
power adapter.
