The FireBird™ F-100 is a compact video encoder designed for real-time video transmission using cellular, satellite, or mesh networks. It integrates a 4G modem with GPS, low-bandwidth video compression, and support for simultaneous streams. It’s purpose-built for video monitoring, drones, UAVs and USVs, which require fast setup, high mobility, and connectivity even in low-bandwidth and congested environments.
The device comes pre-installed with FireLight™, our bandwidth efficient video encoding software, providing reliable and low-latency streaming that adapts dynamically to changing network conditions. Encoding can be performed at bitrates as little as 1 kbps while maintaining usable image quality to high resolution, up to 30fps full HD.
Our unique Total Recall™ feature can retrieve high-resolution pixels from selected areas of interest within the low-resolution stream. This capability is built for operations where detail, clarity, and key information validation are non-negotiable.
