Amazon Kinesis Video Streams WebRTC Multi-Viewer

Amazon Kinesis Video Streams

Amazon Kinesis Video Streams now offers the ability to stream real-time audio and video to multiple concurrent viewers via WebRTC, while also recording video and audio from the session to the cloud for storage, playback, and analytical processing. Developers can enable up to 3 concurrent viewers of real-time feeds from cameras or other video-producing devices without increasing compute or bandwidth utilization on the device. Participants can engage in audio conversations with each other, enabling direct real-time communication between viewers during the session.

Developers can build real-time peer-to-peer streaming applications by installing the Amazon Kinesis Video Streams with WebRTC SDK across security cameras, IoT devices, PCs, and mobile devices. They can create applications that stream real-time media to multiple concurrent viewers, such as home security applications, remote proctoring systems, or robot operation control centers. Developers can implement both live and on-demand video playback through session recording, and build advanced applications utilizing computer vision and video analytics by integrating with Amazon Rekognition Video and Amazon SageMaker.
