Frequently asked questions

Is WebRTC only for video calls, or can it carry other data too?

Both media and data. Alongside live video/audio, WebRTC data channels exchange telemetry, configuration, diagnostics, commands and files in the same real-time session.

Can WebRTC replace our secure firmware update mechanism?

No, and it shouldn't. WebRTC can transport update-related data and commands, but image validation, rollback, signing and installation should stay under the product's own secure update framework.

Can a remote operator actually control the device, or just watch it?

Control is supported. WebRTC can transmit touch, mouse, keyboard, button and application-control events back to the embedded product, with configurable access permissions.

Does WebRTC replace GPS or fleet-management infrastructure for asset tracking?

No. It's a real-time session layer that complements GNSS, MQTT and fleet-management infrastructure, not a replacement for them.

What happens on a poor network connection?

Adaptive streaming adjusts bitrate, resolution and frame rate according to network conditions and target-device capabilities.
