Frequently Asked Questions:

​

​

Does Each Location Need To Have Wifi?

No, we use our own dedicated mobile routers from Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile for internet and also have a dedicated bonding router that allows us to combine all 3 to improve bandwidth in weak areas. This gives us up to 3 sources to combine for a successful stream. As a last resort in weak areas, if the venue has wifi and made available to us, we will attempt to use. If a stream cannot be achieved due to lack of internet, the camera files will be edited and uploaded ASAP, typically within a few hours of the conclusion of the event.

​

​How Do You Capture Audio in  Churches?:

Setting up audio in churches is sometimes achievable, and quite frankly, sometimes not. In certain cases, we may be able to use a wireless microphone at the lectern. For us to use wireless microphone at the lectern, both items below criteria must be met:

 

1) We are ONLY streaming at a single location, typically the church. If we are streaming prior to the church, or after the church at a cemetery, we will not have time to setup, test and use the wireless microphone.

​

2) With approval from the church staff we will attach our small wireless microphone to their lectern. Remember this lectern will be the only area capturing audio, so it will not capture the celebrant if he/she is not speaking at this lectern or walking around the altar area. People speaking will need to speak into the microphone at a normal level. Many people who are not familiar with this type of speaking may not get close enough to the microphone and/or simply speak too softly.​​ Unlike weddings and other events, the nature of funerals does not provide the opportunity to coach all the speakers before they begin.
