FlytBase Video Streaming — Updated Behavior

We’ve introduced an update to docking station video feeds, designed to give you more control while reducing unnecessary network bandwidth consumption — especially valuable for teams on Starlink, 4G, or 5G connections.

Continuous dock video streaming isn’t always required. With this update, you can choose whether the dock video is always available (e.g., for third-party VMS) or runs only when you need it to optimize bandwidth.

How It Works:

• Toggle optimisation under Device Settings → Video Stream Control.

• Optimisation Enabled: Dock video stops automatically when the drone lands and enters Standby/Idle. RTSP output is not available in this mode.

• Optimisation Disabled: Dock video can be started/stopped manually from the dashboard. When started, it is available both on the dashboard and via RTSP.

• Continuous Streaming: If you need a permanent RTSP feed into a VMS like Genetec or Milestone, keep optimisation disabled and press Start Video Feed once — the dock will continue streaming until stopped.

Why This Matters

• Save bandwidth when dock video isn’t needed

• Maintain uninterrupted VMS feeds when required

• Stay in control of when the dock publishes video

• Reduce network costs on satellite/cellular links

This update ensures your dock video is there when you need it — while avoiding unnecessary background streaming when you don’t.
