Add sources

Use the Add Source page to register a new video or stream source for processing.

From the Home page, click Add Source to open the multi-tab form.

Add source button

The page provides three tabs— Stream, Video, and FlightHub —depending on the type of source you want to add.

1. Add new Stream source

Use this tab to add a live stream (e.g., RTSP) as a source.

Streams without telemetry:

  1. Enter a Source Alias – A friendly name to identify the stream.
  2. Enter Source URL – The network URL (e.g., rtsp://camera-ip/...).
  3. Click Add stream source to register the stream.

Info

The Alias identifies the source in the Sources list on the Home page.

Streams with telemetry

If your stream includes telemetry information, you can enable it to optimize processing and track drone location.

  1. Check Add telemetry.

  2. When enabled, provide:

  3. MQTT host – e.g., 127.0.0.1

  4. MQTT port – e.g., 1883
  5. MQTT topic – e.g., thing/product/sn/osd

  6. Message format – Choose DJI or Sense

  7. Enter Source Alias and Source URL as above.

  8. Click Add stream source to register the stream.

Telemetry integration is optional but recommended for advanced analytics. For details on the supported format for your telemetry stream, see Telemetry integration.

Notes on hosted streams

When providing a URL for your stream, you can use:

  1. Custom RTMP input – your own infrastructure or broadcasting tools.
  2. Sense Aeronautics Hosted Stream – push the stream to the platform endpoint: rtmp://media.senseaeronautics.com/path/to/your/stream

For DJI drones, see DJI Livestream setup.

2. Add new Video source

Use this tab to upload a video file for processing.

  1. Enter a Video Alias – a friendly name for the file.
  2. Drag & drop a video file or click to browse. Only one file is allowed per source.
  3. Click Add video source to upload and register the file.

Note

You can not upload videos larger than 500Mb in size, and the total quota for your videos is of 10 Gb. Should you require a larger quota or to upload larger files, please contact Sense Aeronautics support.

3. Add new FlightHub source

Use this tab to forward a DJI FlightHub live stream.

First-time setup

Enter your Organization key and click Login.

Add FH organization key

Once logged in

  1. Select a Project UUID.
  2. Choose a Drone and an available Camera for the selected Drone.
  3. Click Add FlightHub source to start forwarding the stream.

At this point, you can start and stop the ATR target detection system on your drones any time by using the start and stop buttons on the Home page sources list for that source.

You can Reset key to change the FlightHub organization key.

Info

Depending on your FlightHub 2 plan, use of Stream Forwarding will be billed as FlightHub livestream minutes.

Troubleshooting

  • If your drone has more than one camera, only a single stream forwarding may be active at the same time. Stop the process with the first camera before launching the other one, or it will fail to receive the stream.
  • If the drone is switched off without explicitly stopping the stream forwarding, FlightHub may not be able to provide a reliable status on stream forwarding. The web client accounts for this and tries to ensure a correct state before launching a source. If you still run into problems when starting a process, you force a reset on FlightHub stream forwarding. For doing this, select your drone and camera and click on Manual stop to manually stop stream forwarding and clean the reported state.

After saving

The new source appears in the Sources list on the Home page.

You can start/stop processing or delete it as needed.
