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.

Add new Stream source

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

Add stream without telemetry

  • Enter a Source Alias – A user-friendly name to identify the stream.
  • Enter Source URL – The network URL (e.g., rtsp://camera-ip/...).

Info

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

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.

Adding telemetry

If your stream includes telemetry information, you can enable it to optimize processing and track drone location. Check Add telemetry and select the desired mode: Live Telemetry or Static Telemetry.

Live telemetry

The telemetry must be provided through an MQTT broker. Input the required params:

Add stream with live telemetry

Info

For details on the supported format for your telemetry stream, see Telemetry integration.

Static telemetry

Use static telemetry when the camera parameters are known beforehand and do not change during the stream (e.g., fixed cameras). The values are applied to the whole stream.

Paste a JSON object with the telemetry fields in the Telemetry JSON box. For example:

{
  "sensor_hfov": 90.0,
  "sensor_vfov": 60.0,
  "latitude": 41.3851,
  "longitude": 2.1734,
  "altitude": 150.0,
  "rel_altitude": 30.0,
  "camera_yaw": 0.0,
  "camera_pitch": -45.0,
  "camera_roll": 0.0
}
  • sensor_hfov and sensor_vfov are always required.
  • The rest of the fields are required to estimate the GPS coordinates of detections.

Info

Paste only the telemetry fields, not the whole telemetry_cfg object used by the API. See Telemetry fields for a description of each field and Static telemetry for the API equivalent.

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.
