Products
FireLight™
Ultra-low-bandwidth video platform for real-time wireless streaming
The FireLight™ video platform provides real-time low-latency transmission video surveillance for ISR, UAV’s, Drones, and Mission Critical UAS Operations. Utilizing sophisticated encoding and bandwidth management, it works at ultra-low bitrates of down to 1kbps and all the way up to full HD, and is suitable for use over cellular, SATCOM or mesh RF networks.
FireLight™ goes beyond streaming by empowering mission-critical remote operations with its indispensable features. It delivers real-time information to enable informed decision-making, enhancing surveillance and defence operations with precision and efficiency.
The Edge Gateway software is the main video and data processing component of the FireLight™ solution and is the powerhouse of the system. All Videosoft hardware gateways come complete with Edge Gateway software, and it can also be sold separately for integration into many other hardware platforms such as Raspberry Pi, embedded computers and third-party equipment such as routers.
Our products prioritise durability and resilience to excel in the toughest conditions, from the arid expanse of deserts to rugged rural landscapes. Offering advanced features for remote control, real-time analytics, and flexible hosting options enable you to make data-driven decisions instantly.
Multiple Areas of Interest Monitoring
Monitor multiple areas of interest simultaneously for a comprehensive view of operations. Connect multiple cameras and other devices to the edge gateway which will then record video, audio and data locally in full quality and on-demand (or alarm-activated), stream live to the remote user or Video Management System over networks such as 3G/4G/5G, Satellite and Wireless.
Total Recall™ Tool
Videosoft‘s image enhancement feature allows users to pinpoint a specific area of interest within a stream, irrespective of the bit rate. This allows the seamless retrieval of high-resolution images from the gateway when the current encoded live stream fails to offer the required level of detail. As a result, users can visually confirm events more comprehensively.
This powerful tool serves to assist in investigations, handle critical situations, and manage live events by monitoring incidents in real-time. It enables swift action with minimal downtime or disruptions.
Compact multi-channel video encoder with built-in cellular modem
The FireBird™ F-100 is our smallest hardware video gateway, with a compact footprint of just 105 x 47 x 25 mm and designed for the most SWaP (size, weight and power)-limited applications. The unit is capable of outputting up to four simultaneous streams at full HD to command centers or vehicle operators in the field, and also includes built-in local storage, a GPS receiver, and a 3G/4G cellular modem.
FireBird™ F-300
Rugged video encoder with four PoE ports
The F-300 is a rugged video gateway offering four PoE ports for direct connection of IP cameras, and delivering up to four simultaneous streams at full HD. Rated to MIL-STD-810G, it is ideal for demanding UAV and unmanned systems deployments in harsh environments. The unit provides local storage for recording, as well as a GPS receiver and a 4G LTE cellular modem.
FireBird™ F-600
High-performance video encoder with full NVR capabilities
The F-600 is our most powerful video recorder, offering four direct IP camera inputs or up to eight with a switch, and delivering up to eight simultaneous streams at full HD bitrate. Featuring a suite of NVR capabilities, it also offers a local user interface option for easy viewing, control, and review of cameras and recordings through a connected monitor. The rugged unit is MIL-STD-810G-rated for operation in harsh field environments.
FireFly
Android software app for mobile device streaming
The easy-to-use FireFly software app allows live audio and video to be streamed from any Android-based mobile phone or tablet, providing a highly portable capability that utilizes our state-of-the-art bandwidth-efficient encoding and transmission.
The FireFly app can be installed on your personal devices, or we can provide a modified smartphone with the camera relocated to the end of the device.
Applications
UAS & Robotics
Videosoft real-time streaming solutions are an ideal complement for a wide variety of use cases within the rapidly expanding drone industry, providing highly stable and reliable video links for commercial, industrial and military applications alike.
Our revolutionary ultra-low bandwidth video technology provides low-latency connectivity even in the face of highly challenging conditions including suboptimal network conditions, extreme weather, and obstacle-filled environments. Our SWaP-optimized hardware and software products are particularly suited to extended-range and BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight) operations, conserving power as well as data usage.
Military & Defense
Our military-grade solutions have been deployed and trusted by armed forces and tactical teams around the world, enabling persistent ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) even under highly congested communications environments. The ultra-low latency real-time video streaming technology can be installed on a variety of platforms, including drones, USVs (uncrewed surface vessels) and UUVs (unmanned underwater vehicles), supporting on-the-move mission-critical communications and effective decision-making.
Videosoft platforms also offer multiple layers of security, including FIPS-compliant AES-128 and AES-256 encryption, ensuring that sensitive data cannot be compromised.
Oil & Gas
Videosoft’s industrial-grade real-time video streaming technology is ideal for surveillance, monitoring and inspection of oil and gas facilities and other critical infrastructure. Providing greater versatility and reliability than traditional VMS solutions, our products streamline workflows for enhanced efficiency while keeping personnel safe.
