Overview

Zao VMS Plus - Secured live video transmission from drone, body-worn or in-vehicle cameras over 5G / 4G / PS LTE

Soliton's Zao products are utilized as part of a mobile surveillance solution to enable encrypted live streaming over multiple 5G 4G cellular connections, or satellite or wifi, back to a command and control center. They are used by law enforcement and other emergency and security services to live stream from drones, cars, motorbikes and body-worn action cams back to a command and control center. Each Zao VMS Plus solution combines a management platform for remotely managing units in the field and provides up to 12 simultaneous channels of ONVIF compliant video that can be connected to Milestone XProtect. Zao VMS Plus can be installed in the cloud or on-prem at the destination and is installed within a virtualized server environment which can be in a closed network. The Zao solutions are H.265 HEVC based which gives high reliability, even in challenging 4G environments, providing broadcast-quality full HD at low latency. Latency can be set between 240ms and 30 seconds, typically 700ms.
