Encrypted mobile live streaming has many applications. From special operations for live streaming from head cams while involved in police raids to tactical operational field duties including major security or terrorist breaches, covert operations, crowd control via public safety vehicles or temporary cameras on location, are just some examples of where Soliton’s products’ are utilised to live stream video back to a command and control centre. Cameras can be placed in a variety of locations including vehicles, head cams, drones, boats and helicopters.
The Zao and the Zao-s utilise H.265 HEVC for high reliability, multiple SIM cards, can support AES256 encryption and are ONVIF compliant meaning they can integrate into existing Video management Systems (VMS).
For public safety departments, time is a valuable but scarce resource. And that’s problematic, especially since the number of threats in the world is rising steadily. The use of innovative technologies is essential for maintaining high safety levels. Download our whitepaper to find out more.
In order to make critical decisions based on video, what is required? Reliability, quality and low latency. The police in London do not make a decision based on video alone, because in the past other live streaming units have had a latency of 3-4 seconds which is too long for a critical decision as things could have changed in that short time. The Soliton Zao has a minimum latency of 240ms which gives the added flexibility of making more decisions on video alone.
Soliton has a background in broadcast and broadcasters get very upset if video drops frames. They demand reliability and high quality even in the most challenging of situations. Soliton’s Zao-s can utilize up to 3 different SIM cards from 3 different cellular providers and will bond them all together as a single connection. In addition, it will then dynamically monitor the strength of each cellular network and effectively carve up the video down each cellular provider for increased reliability and performance. As an extra layer of security, the video stream can be AES256 encrypted. The Zao can support up to 6 SIM cards.
The Zao range of products is the only solution that can do a point-to-point transmission without the need for a third-party cloud solution that could be hosted, unbeknown to the user, anywhere in the world and is a huge security risk. The Zao solutions, coupled with the encryption, gives an extra layer of security and streams directly to the receiving location.
The Zao products include transmission and receiving platforms that are designed for extreme reliability, quality and low latency, even in the most challenging of situations. Also our range of products is the only solution that can do a point-to-point transmission without the need for a third-party cloud solution that could be hosted, unbeknown to the user, anywhere in the world and is a huge security risk. The ZAO products deliver an ONVIF compliant video stream via the Zao VMS Plus product that accepts an encrypted video stream from the field. The transmission units are lightweight, robust and can be easily carried on person. External batteries can be utilised for long life and all units can be managed remotely including going live.
