Drone relay, as a service

Livestream your drone over any network.

Hover relays live video and telemetry from any drone or field camera, plus readings from LoRa field sensors, to a private page you can share, over LTE, Starlink, and CGNAT. Built for cellular field reality: NACK retransmit, reorder tolerance, recording. No OBS, no VPS, no port forwards.

01/Problem

Getting a live feed off a drone in the field is hard.

A DIY rig (RTMP, OBS, and a VPS) or a bonded router takes weeks to stand up and one network change to fall over. Cellular in a field means packet loss, reorder, CGNAT, and no inbound ports. Consumer streaming assumes good wifi and a laptop. Most setups break exactly where the field begins.

You want to see the live feed, share it with people you choose, and record it for later. No rebuilding your network for every flight. No locking into one drone vendor.

02/Solution

A managed relay built for the field.

A small proxy on your field machine, a relay in the cloud, live video on a private page for whoever you choose. The drone keeps doing what it does. Hover carries the bytes in between, with the resilience cellular paths require, and records every flight. Watch one session below.

03/Platform

What's included in the platform.

Live video relay

H.264/H.265 video from any drone's RTSP source to your viewer. Sub-second on terrestrial paths.

MAVLink command channel

Full bidirectional autopilot link. Mission Planner, QGroundControl, your tool of choice.

Network resilience

Sequence-aware NACK retransmit on both legs, paced so recovery never saturates the uplink. A 75-ms reorder window keeps cellular jitter from reading as loss.

Private shareable link

A browser link you hand to whoever needs the feed. PIN-gated, no install.

Recording

Field-side capture to a labeled SD card, plus optional cloud recording. Local-first by design.

Web admin & observability

Live logs and a real-time loss chart in both the operator client and the field proxy. No SSH.

Multi-OEM

Speaks RTSP or RTMP? It relays. MAVLink is optional, for aircraft telemetry and control. No hardware lock-in.

LoRa field sensors

Geo-located readings from LoRa sensor meshes stream into the same live map and timeline as your video. One shared picture, not a second system.

04/Who it's for

Built for anyone who needs a live feed out of the field.

Research

Research & long-duration field ops

Aerostat and science teams need live video and telemetry from long-duration field platforms. Altametry runs one today. Hover works over whatever network the field gives them.

Fixed cameras

Construction, site & wildlife cams

Point Hover at any RTSP camera and its live feed is in front of whoever needs it. No NVR, no port forwards, no site-network surgery.

Smart city

Smart-city sensor networks

City teams pair LoRa sensors with cameras and drones on one live map: what the sensors report, next to what the field shows. Hover carries both.

06/Roadmap

What we're building next.

A short list of work in flight. No dates; we ship when each one's ready.

Cross-feed intelligence

Correlation across feeds. A detection on one feed becomes context for the next. The operational index you're already building turns into situational awareness.

Search your footage in plain language

Ask your recordings a question in plain words. The index over your video and telemetry finds the flight and the moment.

Embeddable live pages

Put your live feed on your own website. If your operation needs embeds, tell us; demand moves it up the list.

07/Download

Run the relay on your machine.

The Hover desktop app is the relay runtime, the client that brings up the tunnel between the field drone and your viewers. Native builds for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Every link points at the current stable build.
