Enhancing Law Enforcement with LiveU’s Advanced Video Solutions

Discover how LiveU’s Video-over-Bonded-IP technology is revolutionizing law enforcement operations. Their secure,real-time visual intelligence capabilities significantly improve drone functionality and situational awareness for public safety initiatives.

The Rise of UAVs in Law Enforcement

The growing adoption of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) in law enforcement, especially for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) missions such as Drone as First Responder (DFR), underscores the urgent demand for reliable, secure, low-latency, and high-quality data transmission, notably for video feeds. LiveU’s Situational Awareness Solution meets this need by offering advanced video-over-bonded-IP (VoBIP) capabilities that enhance operational effectiveness and safety.

Seamless Integration and Deployment

LiveU’s technology integrates effortlessly with existing visual intelligence systems,including drones and Video Management Systems (VMS),facilitating quick and easy deployment. Utilizing the patented LiveU Reliable transport (LRT) protocol, their solutions wirelessly transmit high-definition video and sensor data, ensuring portability. By combining various IP connections—such as 4G, 5G, Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, mesh Radio, WiFi, and Ethernet—LiveU’s Situational Awareness Solution establishes a single, secure, and robust connection, making it ideal for remote locations or areas with network congestion.

Real-Time Video Sharing and Communication

the LiveU Situational Awareness Solution enables secure,invitation-only sharing of live video feeds,allowing operatives to access real-time visuals directly on their smart devices without the need for software installations.It also supports low-latency video and data transport from the field to both mobile and fixed control rooms, removing the necessity for dedicated communication units.

Key Features of LiveU’s Solutions

• Video Return: Facilitates the sharing of video feeds with ground personnel, command centers, and authorized agencies through secure, temporary links.
• DataBridge: Establishes a high-capacity mobile internet hotspot for essential communications in the field.
• file Transfer: Allows teams to send large files and metadata, such as collected evidence or high-resolution images for 3D modeling, from any location.

Operational Workflow

A typical operational setup involves connecting a drone controller to a LiveU field unit, such as the lightweight LU-REQON1, wich weighs under 2 lbs. This unit encodes video and bonds multiple IP connections, securely transmitting data via the LRT protocol to LiveU decoders, which can be either physical servers or cloud-based solutions. Thes decoders can seamlessly integrate with existing VMS infrastructures. Optional Video Return servers can further distribute video to ground teams and command officers’ mobile devices. Additionally, LiveU DataBridge can transform the field unit into an internet hotspot for enhanced communication capabilities.The entire LiveU system can be managed through LiveU Central,a centralized management platform.

Robust Protocol for Reliable Transmission

The LRT protocol is essential to LiveU’s VoBIP technology,aggregating various network connections to create a resilient,stable,high-capacity bandwidth link. LRT continuously monitors network conditions and automatically adjusts using techniques such as Adaptive bitrate Encoding, Packet Ordering, Acknowledgment and Resend Requests, and Dynamic Forward Error Correction (FEC). These features ensure optimal stream quality, even in challenging network environments.

Security Features and Reliability

LiveU’s solutions prioritize security, employing a point-to-point architecture alongside the proprietary LRT protocol for enhanced protection. The bonded nature of the solution inherently adds a layer of security, with AES 256 encryption available as an option.With nearly two decades of experience in securely transporting high-value video and data in mission-critical situations,including on-premises deployments that require air-gapped isolation from the internet,LiveU emphasizes user-friendliness,allowing operators to focus on their missions rather then network complexities.
