Holy Redeemer Parish, West New York, NJ

St. Mary's Church, (located just across the Hudson River form Manhattan), wanted to reach more parishioners more of the time. They asked Power Sound of New England to design a Church Video System that could facilitate a better connection to their congregation, both at the church and far beyond its walls. This allowed us a creative approach for the design and installation of a multi-purpose church video projection solution.

We designed two systems to work in concert: a beautiful video display system for overflow areas
within the church and live video streaming which displays Mass in real time on their website.

The In-Church Video Projection

Our video projection design offer exactly what they sought. First, video cameras have been installed to record Masses; they are projected on flat-screen monitors in overflow areas. There is a display monitor and speaker in the vestry so clergy can follow the Mass. For overflow we also installed a monitor and speaker in the narthex.

Live Video Streaming for Borderless Worship

Live streaming of religious services is fast-growing as an integral part of worship technology.

Live video internet streaming offers parishioners, family members and other worshipers a way to watch live video broadcasts of Mass anywhere; on computers and other internet-connected device. Viewers can to tune-in from across the globe or across town. Vivid high-definition video offers a an experience that is the next best thing to being there.

This New Jersey Catholic church wanted our state-of-the-art technology but without the need to allocate staff to manage it. No problem! We manage schedules remotely so it’s hands-free for the parish. We regularly monitor the functionality to the live video stream to be sure it’s performing perfectly. We also are available for remote technical support if the need arises.

Now Masses are available to everyone via a link on the parish website. Live Streams can be viewed here: St. Mary's Church Live Streaming

CHURCH SECURITY & SURVEILLANCE

Now more than ever Safety is paramount in your church and school

Church security systems for house of worship provide the ability to be open for the parishioners more hours, more days.

Our customized designs offer you a surveillance system to fit your church or school's needs, perfectly.

Digital video camera features
Cameras automatically pick up motion and instantly record activity. PTZ, (pan/tilt/zoom), cameras can be used to follow individuals’ movements.

Flexible monitoring surveillance options
In-office monitoring - View multiple camera locations on a desktop monitor. An audible tone signals activity and highlights the area being accessed.

Monitor Remotely - Log in from cell phone, tablet or laptop from anywhere to view each camera location easily...anytime!

A Massachusetts Church Sound Renovation

At St Anthony of Padua Church in Shirley Massachusetts everything sounds much clearer!

Fr. Derosier came to us to design a church sound system that would offer clear, consistent audio throughout the sanctuary. Also important to the parish was the architectural "fit" of the system. We worked together to be sure our design would meet the desires for the interior aesthetics of the church space. 
As part of the audio design our crew hand painted all speakers to match the columns to which we would be affixing them. During the sound system installation we also ran raceways where needed to cover any wiring. The result? We are pleased to showcase some photos from the project and to share the sentiments of the the pastor about its outcome...

“The new sound system performs exactly as promised. The installation was very well done and your crew paid careful attention to ensuring its components complemented our church architecture. Having viewed your work at a nearby parish, and listened to the superb quality of the sound reproduction, we were sure we had made the right decision in choosing Power Sound of New England. We were not disappointed."

-Rev. Edmond D. Derosier, St. Anthony of Padua, Shirley, MA

BOSE Panaray speakers mounted on columns face the pews. The multiple speaker drivers in each 4" wide speakers offers even coverage.




The transepts are given sound coverage by smaller complimentary BOSE speakers facing the side pews. By choosing a combination of loudspeakers, designed for worship spaces, for the design, it enabled our crew to install and program the system to accurately reinforce sound in all areas of the sanctuary.

Beautiful from every angle.

Church Sound, Church Video: Were the new age meets history

I. Video Projection Systems: First Baptist Church of Paris in South Paris, Maine wanted to add video projection to their historic church. They were very concerned about maintaining the aesthetics of the space.  A motorized retractable projection screen is a highlight. The way it disappears when the screen is not needed is exactly what they wanted! We integrated the video projector and computer for a variety of kinds of presentations. 

II. A church sound system upgrade was also done as part of the AV system design and installation project. A Highlight: New Pro Bose® speakers, designed for the church environment, offer greatly improved sound quality and intelligibility. Speakers were carefully mounted adjacent to window casings and painted to match. The result is the vastly improved sound they needed and the discreet appearance they wanted. 

South Paris Maine is a quaint village and First Baptist Church of Paris is an important piece of the fabric of the community. One of the facets of this project that stood out for us was the focus of upgrading technology, not just for the congregation, but also for the community of South Paris.  This is best explained in the words of the Pastor…

"Beautiful sound!"

The quality of sound has truly impressed me; NO comparison to the old system. And the video projection performs beautifully also. You had such sensitive concern for our historic structure. Your crew collaborated with our electrician to preserve visual authenticity. There are some new wires your crew actually had to point out to me— it is just amazing! Even the placement of jacks in the aisles is discreet, so during weddings they won’t show in photographs. I am especially grateful for your approach of “we’re putting it in now” but we will “follow up in a few weeks to ensure you are comfortable with the system.” We have really benefited from this. And, the project came in on budget.

Our new audio visual capabilities allow us the ability to offer our church for local groups’ use for a broader range of community events and concerts. Prior to choosing PSNE we called some other ministers of historic churches and they were very complimentary. This cemented our decision to entrust this project to your company.  - Pastor Mary Beth Caffey, First Baptist Church of Paris

Former Building Committee Chairman, Mr. Maier Fein, spoke of the benefits to the synagogue's congregation:

“Our synagogue’s new Video Streaming capability has expanded our organizational reach nationwide and worldwide.For example, at a recent Bat Mitzvah, friends and family who were unable to attend could connect to the system, watch the service live, and share the celebration remotely...The quality of the visual images is wonderful.The live streaming is fully automated, which allows us to honor holiday observances.The streaming is very easy to use. We also now have the  capability to archive the videos.This is especially appealing to families wanting to incorporate religious ceremonies into commemorative DVDs."

Live Video Streaming is easy to operate

Streaming video provides border-less live services

With Power Sound of New England Live Church Streaming we take care of the details. We install any need video camera recording equipment needed. Or, work with what a house of worhip has in place. We customize each live streaming schedule –whether a congregation seeks all day steaming or specific times only video streams –and we manage the programming. They frees up clergy and personnel from learning and operating the technology. We also provide remote technical support.

Live video streaming automatically broadcasts, (streams) and even records worship education and celebration services for archiving. It's as simple as placing the link we provide on the synagogue, temple, or church website. 

Power Sound also upgraded our sound system. Now, the system handles the full dynamic range, from a booming baritone to the softest voices, beautifully. We have even had a guest cantor from another synagogue remark on the very high quality of the sound in our sanctuary. We especially appreciated that Power Sound was able to repurpose some of our existing equipment into our social hall sound system,which helped keep our budget in line without compromising quality. - Mr. Maier Fein, Former Chairman Building Committee  | Congregation Beth El, New London, CT

We are thankful to Congregation Beth El for entrusting us with this video streaming project!
