When fires escalate, floods spread, or storms make landfall, the challenge facing emergency services is rarely a lack of data. The real issue is fragmentation. Information arrives fast, but rarely in a form that supports decisive action. Video feeds arrive from multiple teams, radio traffic intensifies, and situational awareness becomes harder to maintain just as decisions need to accelerate. In these moments, clarity is not a nice-to-have. It is the foundation of effective response.
Unleash live’s latest live streaming release is designed specifically for these high-pressure environments. It delivers a centralized visual intelligence platform that brings live video, geospatial context, and operational control into a single, managed environment. The objective is not more data, but faster, better informed decision making under pressure.
By combining real-time streaming, predictive context, secure distribution, geospatial context, access control, and post-event analysis in a single platform, Unleash live enables emergency organizations to coordinate faster, deploy resources more effectively, and maintain control as incidents evolve. This capability has been shaped by real-world emergency response needs, not theoretical workflows.
At the core of the platform is the ability to collect live video from the field and stream it securely through Unleash live Cloud to authorized stakeholders in real time. While drone-based capture using Autofly (Ground Control System) is central to this capability, the platform is deliberately hardware agnostic. Emergency response rarely allows for perfect conditions or standardized equipment.
Unleash live can ingest live video from drones, vehicle-mounted cameras, fixed CCTV systems, body worn cameras and mobile phones. This ensures that whether visibility comes from the air, the roadside, a fixed installation, or a first responder’s handset, it can be brought into a single operational environment. The result is continuity of awareness rather than isolated pockets of insight.
Streams can be distributed simultaneously to central control rooms, mobile command vehicles, field teams on the ground, and individual decision makers viewing from laptops or mobile devices. This removes the dependency on verbal interpretation and ensures that strategic and tactical decisions are grounded in the same visual truth, regardless of where teams are located.
Live video becomes far more valuable when it is organized in a way that mirrors how incidents are actually managed. To support this, Unleash live introduces the concept of channels. A channel groups one or more live streams associated with a specific incident, location, or operational objective.
In practice, a channel represents all available 'eyes' on a single incident. Rather than switching between disconnected feeds, command teams can view and manage a consolidated set of streams within a single contextual frame. This structure enables faster interpretation, clearer handovers, more effective field team coordination and reduced cognitive load during complex operations.
Access to each channel is tightly controlled. Internal users are managed through enterprise authentication, including SSO, ensuring only authorized personnel can view sensitive footage. At the same time, access can be securely extended to external organizations involved in the response through custom URLs configured on a per-incident basis. This allows for controlled multi-agency collaboration without compromising security or governance.
Video alone rarely tells the full story. Understanding where a drone is positioned, which direction it is facing, and how it relates to surrounding terrain or infrastructure is critical for meaningful decision-making. Unleash live addresses this by combining live streams with geospatial context through Fusion Atlas (GIS Tool).
Drone location, camera heading, and supporting telemetry are visualized on a satellite map alongside the live video. This allows remote viewers to immediately understand what they are seeing and how it fits into the broader incident footprint. Whether monitoring a single structure fire or a rapidly expanding wildfire front, teams gain both local detail and regional awareness.
The platform also enables active coordination, not just passive viewing. Users can annotate maps in real time using markers, bounding boxes, and polygons. These annotations are visible to drone pilots instantly, enabling teams to highlight areas of interest, establish geofenced no-fly zones, or direct attention to emerging risks without relying solely on voice instructions.
Video does not exist in a vacuum. Fusion Atlas allows command teams to overlay third-party live data directly onto the map alongside drone feeds. This includes live weather radar, flood inundation modelling, and fire spread predictions. Commanders see the asset not just on a map, but relative to the evolving threat path.
Emergency incidents do not wait for reliable networks. Fires, floods, and storms often impact exactly the areas where connectivity is weakest. Unleash live is designed to operate in these conditions, combining low-bandwidth streaming from Autofly with satellite connectivity such as Starlink to maintain live visual operations even in remote or degraded environments.
Low bandwidth does not simply mean reduced resolution. The platform dynamically adapts bitrate and stream reliability prioritizing continuous situational awareness even in high-packet-loss environments typical of disaster zones. This ensures usable live visuals at the edge of fire fronts or in flood-affected regions.
Our architecture dynamically adjusts stream quality based on available bandwidth, prioritizing continuous situational awareness even in high-packet-loss environments typical of disaster zones.
If connectivity is severed during a mission, Autofly continues to capture and store video and log information locally. This information is automatically synced to the cloud the moment the link is restored, ensuring a complete evidential record is never lost.
Live streaming is centrally managed through Unleash live Cloud, ensuring that footage is routed to the right people at the right time. This central control reduces the risk of unmanaged distribution, duplicated effort, or critical information being missed during fast-moving situations.
Two-way push-to-talk communication further strengthens field team coordination. Command center personnel can speak directly with specific drone pilots, requesting repositioning or alternative viewpoints to support tactical decisions on the ground. This tight feedback loop shortens response times and improves alignment between aerial insight and field execution.
AI within Unleash live is applied where it adds operational value. Specific models can be applied to live or recorded video to provide critical insights such as:
AI outputs are viewed in direct context alongside the video feeds and the satellite imagery and third party GIS layers, allowing operators to validate insights quickly rather than treating analytics as a black box. This human-in-the-loop approach supports trust, speed, and accountability.
For selected scenarios, AI can be applied to recorded video to accelerate damage assessment and identify areas requiring urgent attention. This is particularly valuable during large-scale events where manual review alone would delay recovery efforts.
The value of live streaming does not end when the immediate threat is contained. All video and imagery captured during an incident is stored in Media Drive, where it can be searched, tagged, filtered, and analyzed. This supports structured post-event review, performance analysis, and training without relying on fragmented archives or manual processes.
Using Autofly’s automated missions, organizations can also perform pre- and post-disaster assessments with precisely aligned imagery. This enables accurate comparisons, faster validation of impact, and more informed prioritization of recovery resources. The result is not just better response in the moment, but stronger preparedness for the next event.
Unleash live is built to give emergency services centralized visibility, structured control, and shared understanding when it matters most. Not more video, but clearer decisions, stronger coordination, and better outcomes under pressure.
Unleash live is not a streaming tool. It is a resilience platform designed to give emergency services a single, trusted operational picture across people, assets, and geography.
When conditions are unpredictable and stakes are high, clarity is the difference between reacting and leading.
