Keeping You Connected in Real-time to Your Valuable Assets
Device and software interoperability, interference, poor bandwidth and tough network conditions make video monitoring or surveillance difficult in remote off-grid locations.
Cellular, LTE and radio networks can still fall short, providing patchy coverage or interference, returning poor pixelated visuals, and leaving critical operations or assets vulnerable and unmonitored.
Leveraging satellite connectivity for primary or fail-over connectivity ensures your eyes in the field, and reliable quality video footage even in the most remote, environmentally challenging regions.
Why Connect Your Video With Satellite IoT?
Global Coverage
Iridium’s LEO satellite constellation provides reliable connectivity anywhere on earth with a clear view of the sky. The Certus 100 service provides an IP connection enabling higher throughput speeds of 22 Kbps up, 88 Kbps down.
Data Compression
Our partner Videosoft provides best-in-class adaptive video compression and transmission technology, ensuring high-quality, low-latency streaming over the satellite network.
Secure Video Transfer
Our Network Operating Centre (Cloudloop NOC) provides firewall management and real-time insights on network traffic. Videosoft supports industry leading encryption standards for secure transmission and peace of mind.
Interoperability
Our device-agnostic approach to camera integration, interfacing via ethernet or USB and ensuring smooth data transmission over Iridium’s Certus 100 IP connection, maintains end-to-end high-quality footage.
How does our Remote Video Monitoring Solution Work?
Our solution supports both USB and IP-connected cameras, linking you to your remote location via Iridium’s satellite service. We run Videosoft’s edge application on RockREMOTE’s powerful 4-core processor, which can easily support real-time streaming with multiple cameras.
Videosoft’s application features real-time, low-bitrate video, full high-quality recording, and provides server-side intelligence to retrieve high-resolution snapshots or video footage. The Videosoft Total Recall™ feature allows you to identify areas of interest in an image to request enhancement, making sure you see, what you need to see. This also provides efficiency in your data transfer and minimizes satellite usage costs.
Low Latency Camera Connectivity
Integrated Edge Computing Capability
RockREMOTE’s data optimization, and automated compression of rich media, with Videosoft’s best-in-class video compression at the Edge ensure efficient and cost-effective satellite transmission.
Versatile Interface Options
With a broad range of physical serial, digital and LAN connectivity options, the RockREMOTE Rugged provides both remote video connectivity and options for satellite IoT.
