Videosoft specialises in the transmission of ultra-low bandwidth video from onboard cameras via satellite networks.

The Videosoft ultra-low bandwidth FireLight solution has been designed to enable customers who have either not considered it, or think that remote viewing is prohibitively expensive, to now have access to onboard cameras on their vessels 24/7/365 via their monitoring system, their own computer or mobile phone - from anywhere in the world. 

The solution can also stream on-demand video or recorded events direct to shore-based control rooms anywhere on the globe. 

Videosoft state of the art solution dramatically reduces the amount of bandwidth/data required, and will enable the streaming of video in circumstances where only limited bandwidth is available, (as low as 4kbps) 

All of which add up to reduced running costs and improved operational control and situational awareness aiding the remote decision-making process. 

 

Key benefits

  1. Reduce data costs by streaming lower bitrate video
  2. Easy to use, no specialist training required 
  3. No specialist equipment required 
  4. Camera access from anywhere around the globe 
  5. Adaptive, reliable video streaming even in areas of ultra-low bandwidth
