Amazon Kinesis Video Streams now offers fully managed capabilities to stream video and audio in real-time from Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) standards compliant cameras, IoT devices and browsers to the cloud for secured storage, playback and analytical processing. Customers can now use our enhanced WebRTC SDK and cloud APIs to enable real-time streaming as well as media ingestion to the cloud.

To get started, you can install the Amazon Kinesis Video Streams with WebRTC SDK on any security camera or IoT device with a video sensor, and use our APIs to enable media streaming with sub 1-second latency, as well as ingestion and storage in the cloud. Once ingested, you can access your data through our easy-to-use APIs. Amazon Kinesis Video Streams enables you to playback video for live and on-demand viewing, and quickly build applications that take advantage of computer vision and video analytics through integration with Amazon Rekognition Video and Amazon SageMaker.

Amazon Kinesis Video Streams ingestion via WebRTC is available in preview in the US West (Oregon) region. To learn more about these new capabilities for Amazon Kinesis Video Streams, see our Getting Started Guide.
