Zao Cloud is a server-client architecture, with the server element hosted in a virtual environment, either in the cloud or on-premise.  The client element is developed as an HTML5-enabled browser and is customizable - it can include its own program software libraries. It allows the unique viewing of an H.265 WebRTC stream for ultra-low latency, even in remote locations.

The system exhibits remarkable latency performance, with 35ms latency over 5G and 65ms latency over 4G connections from the remote transmission end. This is particularly important for remote operations, where real-time viewing is critical. Zao Cloud enables remote drivers to view the field or location as if they were present locally.

Zao CloudView also offers versatile control options. It can utilize a serial interface or LAN tunneling to achieve near-zero latency remote control over various devices like cars, cranes, drones, robots, and more. This ensures seamless and responsive control over remote devices, enhancing their usability and effectiveness. For more detailed information, you can refer to the Zao Cloud View 1.5 User's Guide provided by Zao SDK.

By utilizing cellular connectivity for streaming from remote locations, the implementation of Media Edge Computing (MEC) further enhances a cloud decoding set-up. An MEC involves processing data closer to end-users, reducing latency and improving real-time performance. In this context, MEC can significantly lower the latency of live streaming by bringing computational resources closer to the cellular network edge. By leveraging MEC, the Zao CloudView setup can provide smoother, near-instantaneous live streaming experiences, crucial for applications like teleoperations, teledriving, telerobotics, and mobile surveillance where almost zero latency is vital. This convergence of technologies optimizes performance for field-based live streaming applications while ensuring efficient use of resources.
