Low latency streaming of security video feeds with SRT and GStreamer

For remote security surveillance, like monitoring an industrial facility where expensive equipment or even human lives might be at stake, maintaining an immediate and high quality video streaming from the areas of interest is a must. With the advent of 5G networks, it’s now possible to stream high quality video in real-time with a very low latency that wasn’t possible with the past generations of mobile networks. In this domain, SRT protocol has been picking up speed, and thanks to srtsrc and srtsink elements available since GStreamer 1.16, it’s now easier than ever to incorporate low latency streaming into your application.
