While LiveU’s expertise is in live IP-video solutions, allowing coverage from anywhere at any time, the company also empowers public safety agencies with reliable and user-friendly visual intelligence tools. This capability is made possible through seamless integration with Drones as First Responders (DFR).
The adoption of DFR has transformed how first response teams operate. Drones can arrive at emergency scenes faster than traditional aircraft, delivering live video intelligence that helps responders on the ground make well-informed decisions. They also assist in incident documentation, enhance transparency, and improve safety for both officers and civilians.
Drones serve as vital tools for public safety teams. They rapidly reach emergency locations, providing live video that helps responders:
- Assess situations from a safe distance
- Make real-time, informed decisions
- Reduce response times significantly
- Enhance safety for both officers and civilians
Typically, officers must operate drones on-site while maintaining visual contact. However, some scenarios require Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations when positioning a pilot near the scene is not feasible.
Drones provide crucial situational awareness. A centralized pilot team enhances response times and efficiency by allowing operators to handle more incidents per shift without needing to travel. This is where LiveU plays a key role, offering an integrated solution for intelligence gathering, incident management, and communication.
LiveU: Reliable Visual Intelligence for Critical Missions
The LiveU EcoSystem, comprising field encoders and cloud or on-premise decoders, enables public safety organizations to rapidly deploy and manage drones remotely, ensuring maximum reliability and performance, even in low-connectivity areas.
LiveU’s technology is driven by its patented IP-bonding system, LiveU Reliable Transport (LRT™), ensuring robust, high-quality real-time video streaming from any drone to remote locations such as headquarters, command centers, and mobile devices.
LU300S
The LU300S compact encoders deliver superior video quality with minimal latency, ensuring seamless transmission to command centers and field personnel. LiveU’s platform integrates effortlessly with existing workflows and leading third-party drones, streamlining the transition to the system.
LiveU DataBridge
The LU300S supports DataBridge mode, enhancing productivity by utilizing multiple networks, including cellular, WiFi, and Ethernet, for on-the-go internet connectivity. LiveU DataBridge is an invaluable feature for public safety teams, allowing file and video transfers from the field and supporting bi-directional data traffic for applications such as VPNs.
LiveU Ingest
If a command center needs to review footage for future analysis or training, LiveU Ingest automatically records all live transmissions, making them instantly available via a cloud-based web portal. This allows field crews and production teams to access, trim, download, and share content seamlessly. It also integrates with other production tools for streamlined editing and content management.
LiveU Video Return
LiveU Video Return offers a web-based video-sharing feature, enabling agencies using drones or other unmanned vehicles to access video feeds on mobile or desktop devices via a simple browser link. These links can be set to expire, ensuring secure, controlled sharing for inter-agency collaboration without the need for additional user management.
