Our live stream brings real-time aviation activity directly to your screen using a network of specialized equipment. The setup consists of a remote site where the camera and audio feed originate, a dedicated streaming infrastructure, and a secure control network for camera operators.

At the remote site, a high-quality PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) camera captures live video footage of aircraft movements. This video is transmitted wirelessly via a secure wireless bridge to a VPN-protected network, ensuring reliable and uninterrupted connectivity. Additionally, a radio scanner picks up real-time air traffic control (ATC) communications, which is encoded and sent over the network to provide synchronized audio.

The video and audio streams travel through a secure VPN connection to our central servers, where they are processed. A Network Video Recorder (NVR) stores the footage for archival purposes, while the stream server encodes and sends the video feed to YouTube for live broadcasting. This enables aviation enthusiasts worldwide to tune in and watch the live feed on our YouTube channel.

For an interactive experience, our website allows users to access the live stream and engage with additional features, such as camera preset controls. These commands are securely transmitted through the network, allowing remote adjustments to the camera’s viewpoint for optimal coverage of airport activity.

To provide high-quality live tracking of aircraft, we have a Cam Operator Network, which allows trained operators to control the PTZ camera in real time. Through a secure VPN tunnel, operators use specialized network-based PTZ controllers, such as professional-grade joysticks, to precisely follow aircraft as they move through the airspace. This ensures smooth and accurate camera movements, offering viewers an immersive experience when watching live aviation activity.

This system ensures a seamless, high-quality live streaming experience, bringing aviation enthusiasts closer to the action in real time.
