What is a live drone streaming feed?

Today, most UAVs offer, via the manufacturer's application, the possibility of easily retransmitting live aerial images on social media or Youtube, provided they have robust access to the 4G+ mobile phone network or, better, to an Internet access box (which is quite difficult to find on a construction site, in the middle of the street, or in the wilderness!)

Thus, a simple drone connected to a 4G smartphone can - in theory - retransmit a feed on the Internet. 

In theory only, because a live streaming can only be of good quality under the following two conditions :

• have fast internet access (fiber, ADSL, 4G) 
• a stable network for the duration of the event

However, it is rather random to bet on the stability and datas connection speed of a single 4G operator, even in city centers. 

So, unless you're a gambler with low expectations in terms of reliability and quality, it's imperative to turn to proven technical solutions capable of providing a robust link that will enable continuous delivery of good-quality images and sound, regardless of the location - or locations - of drone overflights or ground-based image capture. 

This is what the HOsiHO network offers from now on, through its Live streaming service, which uses the Bonding technology (via LiveU), and thanks to the use of 2 to 4 different cell phone operators and/or a fast Internet access.

In short, it enables to avoid, at low cost, the risk of breaking the live link or a considerable drop in the transmitted image quality.

HOsiHO Drone Network and its tele-pilots are therefore able to offer you a unique, reliable, innovative and complete service, all at a reasonable budget.

Why and when to use live video streaming by drone? 

What is the multi-stream live feeds offered by the HOsiHO Drone Network?

You organize an event, on a single location or on several sites spread over the 4 corners of France and you wish to retransmit it live on the internet to your customers and partners?

With our Live Multi-stream feeds service of drone and ground images, it becomes affordable and easy to implement because the streaming units are lightweight, wireless and extremely mobile.

Portable devices for Live Streaming by drone via a mini-video control switcher

Imagine a small drone, a mini 4 channel control switcher, a LiveU unit with the 4G+ modems, a video monitor, a small camera on a tripod for the battery change phases when the drone is off, the micro-Hf (if you need a live commentary), the whole thing fits in a small backpack that accompanies the pilot and his assistant.

Once on site, each team places itself at the desired location, sets up its take-off area and the camera on a stand, cables the autonomous mini-regulator and connects to HOsiHO's Live streaming platform. Everything is then ready to start the drone flights and share these incredible moments online with the audience you have chosen to virtually invite to the event. 

This device can be placed in different geographical locations, more or less distant, whether in the same city or across the hexagon. 

Our members are all available for this type of live interventions and will be able to organize themselves to send their feed on our platform.

The feed - or feeds - are then relayed on your web pages and possibly on your social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, etc...

What services do we offer with our Multi-stream live feeds platform?

The members of our network will set up a complete technical device in order to capture images of your events, on one or more sites, in metropolitan France and the French West Indies. 

Here is what our members propose concretely during a live streaming via the platform HOsiHO Drone Network :

• Image streaming on the web (several websites are possible without extra cost): we provide one or more html integration code (iframe embed) that you insert on the web pages of your choice, on the number of sites you want. Here is an example of Live integrated to the dedicated page of our member Drone-Pictures in Marseille. Note that in addition to the general page gathering all the feeds, we provide the individual code of each feed.

• Up to 6 simultaneous feeds (images from UAVs or ground cameras): our streaming platform can host up to six individual simultaneous feeds that we display directly on the web pages of your choice (see the HOsiHO Drone Network Live Streaming page).

This displays a mosaic of clickable images, allowing you to follow on a single screen the action taking place in 6 different locations (cities or places). It is of course possible to click on the stream of your choice in order to display the images in full screen and quality.

• Inlaying your logo on the images (and/or text or visuals related to the event): you provide us with a png image at the following dimensions 1280 x 720 px and it will be inlaid on your Live as in the screenshot below :

• Replay: recording of the entire Live on our servers, with or without audio, for replay on the following days, depending on the duration requested. Your audience will therefore be able to see or review the live for as long as you deem necessary (to be determined at the time of ordering).

• Delivery of the recorded video (mp4 file): The next day, you will receive it via FTP and you will be able to upload it on your website and social networks, or edit it to integrate it into your productions and clips relating the life of the company or the event.
