As smart video surveillance has grown, so has reliance on real-time video streaming protocols in IoT like the Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) protocol. In the world of WebRTC, the terms ICE, STUN, and TURN often come up. These are protocols that ensure seamless and secure connections between devices to share data and transmit video. If […]

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 […]

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 […]
