All-in-One Live Streaming Camera Raises over £40,000 on Kickstarter, Exemplifying Demand

May 24, 2023 Posted by Jane Smith Editorial No Comments

While it wasn’t always the highest quality or overly reliable, streaming could still be used to connect people and events in real time. Recently, live streaming has boomed into the mainstream, with a surge in interest, inevitably, coming during 2020.

You’ve got people seeking live streams for a whole range of events as well as people turning to live broadcasting to share their interests and build a community with hundreds or even thousands of people. Even in the years since 2020, people have stuck with their favorite live-streaming platforms, offering an incredible market scope. The compound annual growth rate of the global market over the next five years is now said to be 13.47 percent.

Creatives, businesses, and hardware developers across the board are looking for ways to leverage this newly mainstream, perhaps even sought-after tech. One of the more interesting recent prospects is the RayBit SC1 All-in-One Live Streaming Camera, which more than quadrupled its goal on Kickstarter with nearly one month remaining.

Everything you need for a multi-angle setup

Many people who live stream are happy with the single stagnant camera clipped to the top or side of a monitor. Shows with multiple people and products or activities to demonstrate will often benefit from several cameras and angles. Setting this up for live streaming can be overly complicated, with multiple devices managing different cameras and all of the additional bits of recording equipment required. This is where RayBit’s upcoming SC1 camera looks to come into play.

The all-in-one live streaming solution makes the process much simpler, which is why it has raised over £40,000 despite only having a goal of £8,055. That count was hit with over 20 days to go before the May 20 deadline, too, showing interest in such a compact and simplified device for live streaming. The system allows you to easily manage five of the compact cameras across up to three platforms with low latency, AI auto-framing, face tracking, and voice tracking from up to eight meters away.

Even though a single camera is only about the size of your hand, it certainly packs a punch. Each one boasts six hours of battery life, a built-in mic, and a 2.5K resolution. It’s as compact as it is clinical, granting access to the company’s all-in-one control app, which only makes the experience more clear-cut. From beaming live sports from around the world to the live streaming shows this site would put on way back in 2015, the live technology has been accessible for several years.

If needed, you can even use its expansion ports to add a wired internet connection, microSD card, cold shoe light, or an additional microphone. With all of these features in a neat little package, it’s easy to see how it’s amassed such a strong backing.

RayBit isn’t the only business looking to build out a live-streaming offering, either. UK-based company Condense managed to raise £3.7 million from venture capitalists to work on its live streaming in the metaverse tech. The idea is to use 3D capture in real time to live-stream events like concerts into the much-hyped metaverse. As such, rather than simply entering a virtual room to watch what’s essentially a flat screen, users will be able to experience the scope of the live performance as though the stage was really there.

Expanding the applications of live streaming

Live streaming as a technology could be seen as simply sending real-time video across the internet to allow people to watch the events unfold as they happen. Add in a mic, some lighting, and other advanced tech, and you have yourself the capacity to broadcast live. To take the tech further, more needs to be added to leverage its usefulness. Seen with Aravaipa Running, which is aimed at helping runners live stream and engage with their audience through live chat, making the most of the hundreds of thousands who watch ultra-run streams online.

Online entertainment is another sector leveraging live streaming through the application of additional tech. Most live streams are generally a passive experience for users, but at the best online casinos with live games, they’ve become interactive. They utilize professional croupiers running table games and game shows in front of a live-streaming HD camera. With that, there’s also a game control unit and optical character recognition gear deployed. This way, those playing the game online can bet and win in real time.

Several other big names in entertainment are now looking to cut out their own pieces of the live-streaming market, too. Famed rapper Snoop Dogg is one of the latest to get in on the game. Teaming up with Sam Jones, he’s launched a new live broadcast channel, Shiller, which combines interactive video with the live experience. Video streaming giant Netflix is also dipping its toe into the arena. It started well with its first live comedy special, starring Chris Rock, but encountered some bugs when it attempted to live stream a part of the show Love is Blind.

Live streaming is rapidly becoming more and more accessible, easier to perfect, and more expansive. As it gets applied in more ways, it’ll only become a more popular and go-to form of online interaction in the future.
