Case Study: a government public safety agency achieves secure real-time aerial surveillance with Haivision

government public safety agency reduces latency and enables simultaneous video access with Haivision

A government public safety agency faced challenges with its aerial surveillance operations. Their existing system for distributing full-motion video (FMV) from aircraft and UAVs was outdated, resulting in high latency and an inability to share real-time intelligence securely with ground personnel and headquarters. This gap hindered operational coordination and situational awareness. To overcome this, the agency partnered with Haivision to modernize its ISR video workflow.

Haivision implemented an end-to-end solution using its Makito X4 Rugged video encoders onboard aircraft, Kraken video processing platforms on the ground, and Haivision Play ISR and Play Pro for viewing. This ecosystem utilized the SRT protocol to deliver secure, low-latency video even over constrained networks. The results for the agency included significantly reduced latency, reliable video distribution to multiple simultaneous users, and faster, more informed decision-making during missions. Haivision provided the critical reliability and ease of use needed for high-stakes operations.
