dSTAR IoT
dSTAR Internet of things (IoT) – is dSTAR Lab’s solution for anyone who wishes to remotely control and manage their USB cameras in an easy and secure manner. By using our RaspberryPi IoT controller, coupled with the iCommunicator mobile app, you’ll be able to control your smart devices effortlessly.
Well, now there’s no need to download all these devices’ dedicated apps. You can do it simply and intuitively with dSTAR
Main Possibilities
Complete control through communication with the Bot
-
ControllerSoftware that provides the ability to manage your smart devices and runs on your RaspberryPi.
-
DevicesThe smart things you own and can connect to dSTAR IoT
-
Smart PanelUser friendly admin panel, that helps you to manage your network of connected devices
-
dSTAR Bot AdminFine tuning of many parameters, especially access rights
Benefits of using dSTAR IoT
Receiving photos from all camera that are connected to the controller provides totally understanding of what happens at your own place or office
-
Remote CamerasdSTAR IoT allows you to connect with your USB cameras from afar. You can send them commands like taking a snapshot and record a video.
-
Single Point of Control (Coming soon!)We plan to make our platform control not only cameras, but other types of devices as well! It will eliminate the need to use multiple apps for multiple devices and allow you to manage everything in one app that binds together all smart devices in your home.
-
Cross Vendor (Coming soon!)Sony? Amazon? Xiaomi? It doesn’t matter which company manufactured your devices. dSTAR IoT uses OpenHAB, which supports a wide variety of different manufacturers and is not dependent on a particular brand.
-
Establish the RulesdSTAR IoT lets you decide the time in which you want your camera(s) to perform a certain action.
-
Divide and Conquer (Coming soon!)Set up different zones of your home for more efficient automation. You can define different rooms, floors, and houses.
How it Works
-
PurchasePurchase necessary hardware (Raspberry Pi 3 / 4).
-
InstallInstall dSTAR IoT software using provided install manager on the RaspberryPi. Install dSTAR iCom on your mobile device. Link IoT Bot via QR code using “Link Device” section in setting of the dSTAR iCommunicator
-
DownloadDownload the software on an SD card and insert the SD card into your Raspberry Pi.
-
OpenOpen the dSTAR iCommunicator and wait for a message from the integrated bot.
Let’s Get Started
Download dSTAR Install Manager as a first step to get the dSTAR IoT software.
A Seamless Solution
dSTAR IoT has been built based on OpenHAB home automation platform. Using OpenHAB, unique and sophisticated platform, as a foundation, we have enriched it with dSTAR’s secure WebRTC communication channel and added features. That is how we got ultimate IoT controlling system. But we did not stop there and have embedded it in dSTAR iCommunicator so our users may get everything within one app.
We see it as an important puzzle piece in the iCommunicator, as it brings us one step closer to our vision - a truly smart communication experience in which users and smart devices can all understand and interact with one another on a decentralized network.
-
Recording to virtual storageLess space for video and no SD card rewrite cycles
-
WebRTC communicationTake totally control over your home and office at the real time
-
OpenHab solutionDon`t think about the complex configuration of each device and the choice of a single company to create anecosystem, manage over 1000 devices via dSTAR iCommunicator
-
Creating own user casesSupport for big amount of devices and interaction between them hence manage your smart things as you like
