4.6.10 is a first release of Flussonic in 2017 year.
It includes some interesting features:
We have made serious work on audio-video sync issues in MPEG-TS decoder and related modules:
We have enhanced process of flashing our camera agent on several brands:
And several minor changes:
Let’s take a look at what have we done for you in 2016.
First, we have made a lot of work for Flussonic Watcher: https://watcher.flussonic.com/
We created on-camera agent: to connect your IP cameras from NAT-ted network to Flussonic server. This agent is deployed on XMeye, Hikvision and lot of other cameras (about 30 different vendors already). It is possible to prepare firmware to flash it on fabric or update on your camera remotely. Write us if you are interested.
Now you can use our mobile applications for Watcher (including an option to deploy from your dev account) and connect it to your billing and user database with a well-defined and tested provision API, change branding of your watcher, etc.
For Flussonic we have added very good support for NVidia encoder, Intel Quicksync and added h265 support.We brought you new admin UI that can work with 1000+ simultaneous streams. Performance of flussonic also growed and we have deployed instances with up to 1400 working IP cameras on a single server.
Large step is implementing WebRTC. It is in public, you can use it already, no private betas. Just use it to achieve 300 ms delay from realtime in your browser.
DASH support was seriously developed, now it is possible to access DVR via DASH. We have prepared you to abandon flash.
For stream supplier services you can use our stream name rewriting system. You can give playlists with some obfuscated names to people and then rewrite them to your original names.
We are very glad that you are using our software and that it helps you or may help to make your business!
