When it comes to connecting devices within the Internet of Things (IoT), it’s easy to be overwhelmed with choices. Among the many Wi-Fi modules available, the ESP32 is the most popular option, but it’s not the only player in the field. But why choose an existing Wi-Fi module in the first place? Well, selecting an […]

Video surveillance is one of the fastest-growing markets within the Internet of Things (IoT), i.e., smart systems. As a result, the demand for advanced camera modules, a main component of smart video cameras, has surged. Today’s camera modules provide enhanced image quality, improved low-light performance, and sophisticated features such as motion detection and facial recognition. […]

If you’re searching for surveillance cameras to buy right now for your IoT security system, you may have noticed some indecipherable acronyms in the descriptions. The most common you might see would likely be Open Network Video Interface Forum standard, or ONVIF. Another might be Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP). Both RTSP and ONVIF are extremely […]

Understanding exactly how to implement the Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) protocol can be difficult. Experts often describe WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) as a peer-to-peer (P2P) communication protocol because it enables direct communication between browsers or devices without the need for data to be relayed through a central server. But despite what you might think, that […]

Google originally designed its Web Real Time Communication (WebRTC) protocol for purely browser-based communication. However, I believe WebRTC is becoming an important option as a communication protocol for IoT devices as well. Whether it’s smart home devices responding instantly to user commands or health care devices immediately transmitting critical patient data, WebRTC is now allowing […]
