Absolutely—our Standard and Premium bundles include PTZ cameras, encoders, and one-click livestream software configured for Facebook, YouTube, and Church Online.
For bright sanctuaries and low maintenance, we recommend commercial-grade 4K TVs (65″–98″). Projectors work in darkened rooms but require lamp/module changes and can wash out in daylight.
Our livestream solutions pair PTZ cameras (preset angles) with an H.264 encoder or OBS-equipped PC. We pre-configure one-click scene switching (camera, overlays, audio), train volunteers in 30 minutes, and provide remote-support scripts. The result: consistent, professional livestreams on Facebook, YouTube, or Church Online.
