Hover brings live video and sensor readings from remote study sites to one private page your whole team can watch, over cellular or satellite, with nothing to install on the viewer's side. Field cameras, drones, and low-cost LoRa sensor nodes land on the same live map and timeline; describe in plain language what you are watching for and the AI flags it as it happens.

Sees · understands · respondsIn short: Hover brings live video and sensor readings from remote study sites to one private page your whole team can watch, over cellular or satellite, with nothing to install on the viewer's side. Field cameras, drones, and low-cost LoRa sensor nodes land on the same live map and timeline; describe in plain language what you are watching for and the AI flags it as it happens.
Point a field camera (RTSP) or a drone (RTMP, MAVLink telemetry optional) at Hover and the feed goes live on a private, PIN-protected page. Add LoRa sensor nodes, battery or solar powered, and their georeferenced readings join the same live map and timeline as the video: one shared picture of the site, not a second system. The relay is built for weak field links; on signal drops it retransmits and the feed recovers. Enable recording per deployment and observation windows file into browsable recordings with timestamps.
You do not need commercial monitoring hardware to use this. The sargassum drifter is an open-source reference build: a low-cost, solar-powered drifting platform whose camera and sensors feed a Hover live view from open water. Fork it, adapt it to your study, or use it as the pattern for your own site hardware; the write-up is on the blog.
One private page for the lab, collaborators, and partner institutions; nothing to install.
Describe the event you care about in plain language and get flagged when it happens, with the moment on record.
Readings and footage line up, so the number and the picture tell one story.
Start free with your own equipment; low-cost nodes report for years on battery or solar.
Field cameras over RTSP, drones over RTMP with optional MAVLink telemetry, and LoRa sensor nodes with georeferenced readings. Everything lands on the same live map and timeline.
That is the design case. Streams ride LTE, Starlink, or cellular, and the relay retransmits on signal drops so the feed survives weak field links.
Yes. The live view is a private, PIN-protected page that opens in any browser with nothing to install. Collaborators, students, and partner institutions can watch the same session.
Yes. The sargassum drifter is an open-source reference build: low-cost, solar-powered drifting hardware whose camera and sensors feed a Hover live view. The repo is public at github.com/hoverhq/sargassum-drifter.
Enable recording per deployment and each session finalizes into a browsable recording with timestamps, so observation windows can be reviewed after the fact.
Start free with your own equipment. Paid plans grow with video hours and features, which keeps small research programs cheap to run.
Connect a camera in minutes, or start from the open-source drifter build.
