Overview
Web Call Server is a WebRTC streaming media server designed for real-time low-latency streaming in browsers and native mobile apps. WCS is supplied with SDKs (Software Development Kit) for Web, Android and iOS platforms. Each SDK has a dozen of open source samples presenting server capabilities. Using these three SDKs with convenient API, developers can create such low-latency streaming applications as video chats, live broadcasting, video conferencing, screen sharing, live video transcoding, and low-latency audio and video delivery to desktop and mobile browsers on Android and iOS platforms. WCS supports SIP protocol and can operate as a WebRTC-SIP gateway or RTMP-SIP gateway. Using these features, developers can implement own browser-based or mobile applications such as web-phone, click-to-call, and various telephony cases and VoIP integrations for calling to external mobile or landline phones or for processing of VoIP calls on browsers and mobile apps. WCS supports RTSP protocol for work with IP cameras and CCTV systems. Using WCS, developers can create a cross-platform WebRTC mobile or browser-based application for low-latency video playback from IP cams and media servers with RTSP support. WCS uses a wide range of communication technologies and protocols such as WebRTC, RTMP, RTMFP, WebSocket, WebSocket streaming, HLS, RTSP, and SIP.
Highlights
- WebRTC streaming with low-latency: web cam broadcasting, video chats, conferencing, stream recording, streaming from RTMP live encoders, low-latency streaming to iOS Safari, HLS streaming, WebRTC re-streaming to YouTube Live
- RTSP-HTML5 streaming from IP cameras, CCTV and media servers to browsers and mobile apps using WebRTC, RTMP and WebSocket streaming technologies

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour, and your rate depends on the AWS EC2 instance type you choose to run the software. Each dimension maps to one instance type, spanning general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, and accelerated families in a wide range of sizes. Larger instances carry higher hourly rates. The software license is built into the hourly charge, so you pay through your AWS bill with no separate license purchase. You can start and stop instances as needed, and the hourly license activates automatically when an instance launches. Note that this hourly license does not cover SIP functions.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The software license is built into the hourly rate, so you pay only through your AWS bill with no separate license fee. The license activates automatically when your instance launches. It requires a persistent connection to the license server. Note that this hourly license does not cover SIP functions.
Each dimension bills per instance-hour while the instance runs. When you stop an instance, the hourly software charge stops accruing. You start and stop instances as needed, and the hourly license activates again automatically on the next launch. Underlying AWS storage fees may still apply to stopped instances.
No. Your cost depends only on the EC2 instance type and the hours it runs. A valid license allows an unlimited number of connections. The number of simultaneous calls and available features may be limited by license plan, but connection count does not change your hourly bill.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

I like it

Review from a verified AWS customer
I rarely write reviews, but the guys saved me from many hours of development and thanks to them I won the competition.
I needed a solution that would allow real-time monitoring of the robot's work. The open source solution did not help - the CPU was heavily loaded, I had no time to develop my own. Therefore, WebCallServer was my salvation.
This is not a finished product that you take and use, it is like a constructor. Using it as a basis, you can build your project. To work, of course, you need knowledge and skills to work with Linux and AWS, but it's easier than developing your own product for transmitting video from a camera on a robot to the Internet.
Special respect for forum support and documentation. Everything is clear and detailed. Even a completely newbie in IT can figure it out if he wants to.
What I didn’t like was the almost complete absence of the admin interface. The admin interface only allows you to add SSL certificates. All other settings (and there are quite a few of them) must be done in the configuration files. This apparently remained from the open source, and is not very convenient, you can make a mistake when typing and the server does not start. It would be much better to mark the necessary checkboxes and that's it.

Web Call Server 5 is a nightmare and doesn't work
Reviewed on May 27, 2021
Review from a verified AWS customer
Web Call Server 5 is not ready for production and doesn't work.
We could not deploy a workable RTMP or TURN/STUN signal/relay for our Live video streaming app.
There is no free trial so you will be CHARGED for testing this terrible software. It was a nightmare deploying, testing and trying to installing encryption certificate like Letsencrypt. etc. You must be an experience EC2 User before testing this. It was a complete waste of time and money.
