Real-time Video Streaming for Live Auction

Improve Your Auction Experience with Real-Time Video Streaming

Power your live auctions with sub-250ms latency video streaming that ensures fair competition between in-person and online bidders, while delivering crystal-clear multi-angle views of items and auctioneers.

Red5’s auction streaming platform sets the industry standard with capabilities specifically designed for the unique challenges of live bidding:

Our guaranteed sub-250ms latency ensures online bidders compete fairly with in-person participants. Unlike traditional streaming solutions that can lag 2-3 seconds behind, Red5’s WebRTC implementation delivers truly real-time experiences that prevent missed bids and wrong-item bidding confusion.

Purpose-built for challenging network environments, Red5’s adaptive bitrate streaming and packet retransmission technology ensures auction integrity even in remote locations with poor connectivity. This makes it ideal for livestock, farm equipment and industrial auctions where internet conditions are less than optimal.

TrueTime MultiView™ technology enables buyers to simultaneously view multiple camera angles of items while maintaining visual contact with the auctioneer. All feeds remain perfectly synchronized, ensuring buyers never miss crucial details or bidding opportunities.

Whether you’re running a single auction or managing thousands daily like Proxibid, Red5’s platform scales effortlessly to handle any audience size while maintaining consistent sub-250ms latency. Our cloud-native architecture supports both hybrid and fully cloud-based deployments.

Our extensive SDK library and open standards approach make it easy to integrate real-time streaming into existing auction platforms. Native mobile support through RTSP ensures consistent performance across all devices, while our WebRTC implementation eliminates the need for browser plugins.

Unlike per-user pricing models that become prohibitive at scale, Red5’s flexible deployment options and efficient architecture keep costs manageable even for high-volume auction platforms serving millions of monthly users.

Red5’s real-time streaming technology has transformed our ability to conduct successful online auctions. The sub-250ms latency ensures our online bidders can compete fairly with in-person participants, while the platform’s reliability in challenging network conditions has allowed us to expand our reach into rural markets.
