This page lists a few resources, brands, and pieces of equipment that I would generally recommend.

Resources

Ken's Small Church Tech

Ken has a bunch of video resources and tutorials for small churches, video, and live streaming.

Lutheran Stock Photos

A site I built to provide free stock photos for Lutheran churches to use.

Logical Increments

Logical Increments is the place to go when making a new PC. They do an excellent job putting together recommendations based on budget and all the parts listed for each build should work flawlessly together.

Brands & Gear

PTZ Optics

PTZ Optics has a great selection of PTZ Cameras (point, tilt, zoom) as well as camera controllers which are fairly robust. Typically they have had good customer support over the years. Price wise they are mid-tier for this type of camera.

FoMaKo

FoMaKo has a series of cameras, controllers, and hardware streaming switchers. Their all in one devices allow you to control cameras and stream video without needing a separate computer system. They provide good quality systems at very affordable prices.

Allen & Heath

I've found Allen & Heath soundboards to be very intuitive and offer pro level features at price points which are affordable for churches. At the time of this writing, I'm very much enjoying their Qu Series.

Elgato Cam Link 4K

The Cam Link 4K is an absolute powerhouse in a small package. If you're looking to do streaming on the cheap, you can use any camera with an HDMI output. Plug it into this little USB device and it shows up as a webcam in your computer system.
