To reduce latency, "hot" feeds are moving to the edge. Instead of routing every frame to a central cloud server, edge nodes (located in local data centers or on-premises) process the stream first. This reduces the round-trip time from seconds to milliseconds.
When a NetSnap server or similar IP camera is "live," it follows a standard process to deliver video: : The camera's sensor records real-time footage.
: Ensure your camera uses HTTPS for its login page and encrypted protocols (like DTLS) for the video stream itself.
