Abstract:
In some embodiments, systems and methods are provided to capture and distribute imaging content. Some embodiments, provide remote inspection systems, comprising: an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) base station control system that wirelessly communicates with an UAS, and comprises: a wireless transceiver; a control circuit; and a memory wherein the control circuit: receives imaging content, captured by a camera of the UAS; establishes a network connection with a content distribution system and activate a distribution session; and communicates the imaging content to the content distribution system that enables multiple remote authorized rendering systems to access the networked content distribution system over the Internet, join the distribution session, and receive over the Internet in real time the imaging content allowing each of the rendering systems to visually play back the imaging content such that a user at each of the multiple rendering systems can watch the imaging content in real time.
