Orchid Core VMS supports Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC). This technology allows for viewing full-bandwidth, live and recorded H264 video streams within a web browser (without the need to download a plugin). Beginning in version 23.3, Orchid supports the optional use of WebRTC retransmission. With WebRTC retransmission, the web browser can resend video packets to Orchid to help ensure that packets arrive. This improvement allows WebRTC to provide full-bandwidth video even in marginal network conditions. Please refer to the Orchid Core VMS Installation Guide for details on how to enable this feature.
WebRTC mode and Low-bandwidth mode are available in the following browsers:
- (Preferred) Google Chrome, version 66 or higher, in a MacOS, Windows, or Linux desktop environment, or on a mobile device
- The latest version of Safari (mobile and desktop)
- The latest version of Mozilla Firefox
- The latest version of Microsoft Edge
All other web browsers support Low-bandwidth mode only. (For a detailed comparison of the two operating modes, please refer to the Comparing Orchid Core VMS Operating Modes section.)
