WebRTC Video v1.0, low-latency video streaming from robots
After streaming over 25,000 hours and 13 TB of video from over 200 robots, 2 years of production use by over a dozen customers, 200,000 sessions, 25 minor releases, and 120 patch releases, we believe it is time to declare WebRTC Video stable. Recent improvements included in v1.0: - vastly increased robustness over poor networks (packet loss, bandwidth fluctuation), - added hardware acceleration for Intel chipsets such as HD Graphics (in addition to the existing Nvidia and RockChip support), - added local mode, allowing offline usage on local networks, - 3x less CPU usage when using software…

What it does
WebRTC based low-latency video streaming
Provides low-latency video streaming over an end-to-end encrypted WebRTC connection. Once installed you can use the provided embedding instructions to embed the video widget for that robot in your own web application. When running in a self-hosted deployment offline, i.e., not connected to the Internet, the two WebRTC peers, robot + web user, can now discover each other via a new, locally hosted STUN server included in the cloud capability. This is used automatically when the robot is unable to reach the default TURN server hosted by us. This means you can now use Remote Teleop in local networks that are not connected to the Internet. Note, however, that your server still needs to go online…from transitiverobotics.com
