Today, Mersoft announces the latest release of its RTSP WebRTC live streaming product.  Mersoft stream™ converts RTSP streaming media to WebRTC and HLS with sub-second latency to deliver the best live video streaming experience for video chat, security cameras and more.

The biggest problem accessing live video over a network connection today is the  delay in both starting the video and in maintaining an experience that is near-real-time. Instead, many apps  require up to 60 seconds to start a stream only to deliver a bad experience with a slow frame rate, jitter and low resolution. These problems make live video feed over networks nearly useless. The only alternative being expensive hard-wired or closed-circuit (CCTV) equipment.

Mersoft stream™ is ideal for use with Wi-Fi cameras commonly used in homes and businesses. It extracts the H.264 media frames directly from a RTSP stream and repackages them in either WebRTC or HLS without transcoding. It buffers both the inbound and outbound streams to ensure the most consistent experience possible.  The best way to deliver live video in this situation is through RTSP WebRTC live streaming.

In the October release, enhancements include:

  • Lower CPU utilization
  • Configurable values for RTSP timeout
  • Improved handling of disconnects in the RTSP WebRTC live stream
  • Stability and performance enhancements
  • Improved logging, usage logging, and outputs formatted for Splunk
  • Improved keyframe detection for quicker video feed creation
  • Improved compatibility for Firefox 39+
  • Additional versions of RedHat and Ubuntu supported
  • Automated deployment via Puppet

Mersoft offers excellent professional services to integrate with other systems, is carrier-grade and geo-diverse with available 24×7 support.
