This section details how to initiate a live stream and record video locally on your device before takeoff using AeroGCS GREEN.

Benefits:

• Capture pre-flight footage of the surrounding area.

• Monitor wind conditions or potential obstacles from the drone's camera perspective.

• Ensure data capture even with slow internet connectivity.

Initiating Live Stream:

1. Locate "LIVE" Button: Identify the dedicated "LIVE" button within the Flyview interface.

2. Click to Activate: Press the "LIVE" button before initiating takeoff.

3. Internet Speed Check: The system will automatically assess your device's internet connection speed. This ensures:

   1. Optimal Streaming Quality: A strong internet connection is crucial for smooth and clear live video transmission (if applicable to your model).

   2. Effective Tracking Performance: Reliable internet speed allows for accurate and consistent tracking of your drone's location on AeroGCS Enterprise (if you have a valid subscription).

4. "Slow Internet" Notification: If the internet speed is insufficient, AeroGCS GREEN will display a notification "Slow Internet."

5. Local Video Recording: Regardless of internet speed, the system will diligently record the video locally on your device. This ensures no crucial footage is lost.

6. Uploading Recorded Videos : Once a reliable high-speed internet connection becomes available, you can manually synchronize and upload the locally recorded video to AeroGCS Enterprise for comprehensive data storage and analysis.

The flight commences by elevating the altitude to the specified level, configuring the drone to operate at the predetermined speed at the designated altitude.

• RTL (Return to Launch) : This feature permits users to abort the flight in emergencies and return the drone to its initial launch position. This symbol serves as a secure means to land the drone back at the launch point, and selecting it triggers an automatic return to the launch position.
• Pause : This option enables the pausing of the flight mission due to unforeseen circumstances. A specific location, marked as 'R' as depicted in the image below, will be used for subsequent actions, and the drone will be safely landed at that designated position.

• Resume : This option permits users to resume the previous flight from the 'R' marked point in the plan, reducing drone travel distance and preventing mission plan repetition. Choosing the 'Edit' option will erase the resume marker, causing the mission to start from the initial position, increasing time, and repeated spraying in the same area.
