EventLive is not only a LiveControl alternative, it’s ready when you are.

LiveControl installs PTZ cameras in your chapel and has a remote videographer produce each service, booked at least 48 hours ahead, on an annual contract. If you stream every week and want professional multi-camera coverage, that is what it’s built for.

EventLive is ready the moment you need it. Schedule a service minutes before it starts and stream from a phone, tablet or Mac, or from your own cameras through an encoder. There’s no installation and no contract: pay $59 per service or $199 a month for unlimited services.

Families open one private link with no app or account, the replay stays online for as long as you’re a client, and you can download every service in HD.

Run a test and pay only if you love it.

Frequently Asked Questions

LiveControl doesn’t publish its package prices. Packages are quoted after a demo, on annual or multi-year agreements with a minimum of 12 events a year, and its terms say payments are non-refundable and contracts renew automatically unless you give notice 30 days before the end. EventLive has no contract: $59 per service, as low as $30 per service in packs, or $199 a month for unlimited services.
For a LiveControl produced event, a remote videographer switches between the installed PTZ cameras. Produced events must be booked at least 48 hours ahead; later requests aren’t guaranteed, and none are accepted within 2 hours of the start. At short notice you can schedule a static event up to 15 minutes ahead, which streams one fixed wide shot with no videographer. Static and mobile-app streams aren’t monitored. With EventLive, your staff stream from a phone, tablet or Mac, or from your own cameras through an encoder, and you can schedule a service minutes before it starts.
LiveControl installs an encoder and PTZ cameras through a third-party installer. Your chapel needs a wired internet connection and an audio feed from your sound system, and setup takes two to four weeks. EventLive needs no installation: a phone or tablet on a tripod is enough, and you can connect cameras over RTMP whenever you want.
LiveControl’s terms say produced events are kept in your dashboard in perpetuity while you’re a customer, and its FAQ promises unlimited archiving with replays on the player, but the FAQ it suggests for funeral home websites (January 2025) tells families the service can be rewatched for up to one year. Families also receive an MP4 download link. With EventLive, the replay stays on the same link for as long as you’re a client, and you can download every service in HD.
With LiveControl, graveside and off-site services use its iPhone and iPad app, optionally with its bonded-cellular Mobile Kit: a single camera shot that your staff run and LiveControl doesn’t actively monitor. Its Produced + Mobile option can move chapel viewers to the graveside stream automatically. With EventLive, any iPhone, iPad or Android phone streams the graveside on the same link as the chapel service.
