The Problem We Solved

Connecting Deep Trekker ROVs to view live video feeds shouldn't be complicated

The Challenge

When connecting a Deep Trekker ROV to a computer via network cable, users needed to manually determine the correct RTSP address to enter into VLC Media Player. This process was:

  • Scanning network addresses via ping detection
  • Identifying the ROV's RTSP stream location
  • Launching VLC Media Player automatically
