Live stream solves the video upload for drones
The transferring of images and videos from drones or other digital devices is no longer the pain point topic of much discussion on drone and photography forums.
Historically, the process of getting video footage from the drone to the cloud is a tedious process which varies greatly upon the calibre of connectivity and possible errors which frustrate pilots after a long day.

Unleash live is a cloud based software platform enabling the real time ingestion of video as it is recorded.The platform resolves the need for uploading, side loading and downloading of files, resulting in one central library in the cloud for all recorded content.
Live video can also be broadcast simultaneously enabling collaboration with 3rd parties with no additional software requirement outside of a browser. Video and imagery is kept in an intelligent indexed library accessible to anyone given access rights and pilots can also focus on ONLY uploading high resolution 4k video or images of the relevant moments, cutting out clutter and unnecessary data waste.
No manual intervention is required after the URL stream has been set up, freeing the pilot to fly and capture the moment, rather than worrying about allocating time to file management.
A full days inspection can range up to 80GB of video and image data adding hours to the end of the day as pilots attempt to download the footage, upload and share with stakeholders.
Drones are being deployed more and more in industries requiring site inspections, asset management and infrastructure monitoring as they provide industries with vastly dispersed assets a faster way to gain insights at a lower cost than manual inspections. This is still true despite the age old problem of getting the video to stakeholders for review.
Additionally live stream adds a real time collaboration element missing from the process of video capture and upload. While the drone pilot or videographer is recording, the video footage is uploading and streaming to a potentially unlimited audience.
Frequently the field operative capturing the video footage is handed a brief, outlining what needs to be captured, however, conditions can change or questions arise. Having a live stream connection between the field to the office instantly provides a feedback channel that can increase productivity and reduce the need of re-shooting.
A.I. Apps
Storing content in the cloud enables pilots to take advantage of A.I. apps on the Unleash live platform. A.I. apps can be applied to a wide range of applications, from tracking of objects, cars, people, to detecting changes that occur during inspections or monitoring.
Collaboration across multiple parties on a live stream has the power of transforming existing workflows for pilots, resulting in more time in the air and increased productivity.
