Newlyweds say ‘we do’ using Axis livestream solution to broadcast ceremony

Friends and family from around the world witness unique wedding on social media in high-definition using AXIS V59 PTZ Network Camera due to COVID-19-restricted access.

A couple from Cheshire, whose wedding ceremony had to be repeatedly rescheduled in 2020 due to coronavirus restrictions, finally tied the knot at the fourth time of trying with a helping hand from Axis.

Deciding instead on a more intimate affair to stay within the 30-guest limit, but also mindful of others not missing out, the couple opted to livestream the proceedings in HD 1080p simultaneously on Facebook and YouTube using an AXIS V59 Network Camera with the Camstreamer app to include over 100 friends and family around the world.

The bride, Bethanne Seddon (nee Pugh), is no stranger to IP camera technology being the UK Sales Lead at NW Security Group, a trusted and valued Axis Gold Partner for 15 years. Beth commented, “Working within the IP video industry for many years, I have seen first-hand the benefits that video can offer to not only security and business intelligence applications, but also to a much wider range of scenarios. At NW Security Group, we offer a broad range of highperformance streaming solutions onboard Axis cameras, so when it came to looking for a set up that would allow my guests from near and far to be a part of our day remotely, it was a no brainer that Axis technology could help!” AXIS V59 PTZ Network Camera Series provides both wide-area coverage and great detail in broadcast-quality (up to 4K) within a single camera. The versatile cameras are equipped with a variety of intelligent features and can move between pre-set positions and zoom in automatically in response to detected events. They can also be easily integrated into a system with other cameras.

Beth concludes, “Our guests were overjoyed to be able to see us as if they were a part of our congregation. We have had some lovely comments saying how fantastic the image quality was, and that they loved how the camera was able to follow us from the altar across to the registry signing. I was also particularly impressed with the audio clarity, as the music playing through the church audio system as well as the wedding service itself could be heard clearly with very little noise pollution. I am so thankful to both my team at NW Security Group and Axis for making the livestream possible!”
