Live Webcam of Sanctuary

CLICK HERE for live webcam

Being able to stream live would allow not only the whole world to watch our service live but allow our members to see what is going on. Like if a children's chior practice is over or if it is available for musicians to practice. It would also cut down on the bandwidth of vidcasting because they would have seen it live. The only downfall would be people using it as an excuse to stay home and not attend but would be good for parents with sick kids or the elderly. Of course we would make a switch easily available to turn on and off the camera and could even make a lit up sign that would indicate "Live" or On Air".

The camera used in the video above is controled by the end user but can be limited during certain times or completely not availble or password protected. A simple webcam with a price range under $100 would work just as well but for the funtions above the cost is around $500-$1000

Vidcasting, Video Blogging, Video Streaming

Vidcasting weekly services right on our website. Pricing gets costly quick but idealy you can use them for the weekly podcast using the cheapest service and archive others on our server which get less hits. This can also be posted on iTunes.

Podcasting (college & youth)

Podcasting is a great idea for a church. Expanding it to the College and Youth would be huge. Podcasting Lucas and Abes weekly message would target a much larger age group.
