For example, an increase in the number of times the bitrate switches in a period means that quality of streaming has decreased: it might be an issue on a server side (network trouble, overloading etc.) or a connectivity issue on a subscriber side. SmartCARE will clearly shows the source of the problem.

How SmartCARE works?
SmartCARE server accumulates the data from client devices, operator’s hardware monitoring tools and system software, and streaming server logs. SmartCARE processes and analyzes the data to timely detect service issues: image distortion, freezing or other events.
Parallel processing of data from several sources gives a comprehensive end-to-end picture of the status and quality of video services. This information is shown on the SmartCARE dashboard in real time.
Also, using the solution you can set rules for substantial quality degradation: SmartCARE server will automatically generate emergency messages and email them to relevant maintenance personnel.
