I have a church using two Ubiquiti 900Mhz radios for remote cameras and Internet feed on balcony. They have one camera covering altar /pulpit area and mics feed from their mixer. Not sure what software and equipment they use but they do live feed ... It's been up for two years. It looks like the equipment we had for live feeding contentious board meetings when I worked at TISD...I can't remember the name.
