The Dashboard

Every Aircast device serves its own web dashboard — open http://<hostname>.local on your network, or the device's Tailscale address from anywhere. Everything ships in the image: aircastd serves the dashboard on port 80 and manages streaming, telemetry, and networking, with no cloud account and no SSH. When the device is healthy you'll see the green “All systems operational” banner at the top of every page.

Overview

Everything at a glance: how many services are up, cellular carrier & signal, remote-access status, and data used. The Video card gives you ready RTSP, WebRTC, and HLS links (or one-click Watch live), and the Telemetry card shows the MAVLink endpoint to point a ground station at.

Network

Manage connectivity without touching a terminal. See the cellular modem (carrier, APN, signal, data), and the interface priority — cellular is the primary uplink, with wired/Wi-Fi as automatic backups. The Tailscale panel binds the device to your tailnet so you can reach the dashboard and streams from anywhere.

Streaming

The video plane, powered by MediaMTX. Copy the RTSP, WebRTC, or HLS endpoint for your viewer, and set the Camera Source — the RTSP URL the Pi pulls from (a reachability check confirms the camera is live). Saving applies instantly, no restart.

Telemetry

MAVLink routing via mavp2p. Point your ground station — QGroundControl or Mission Planner — at the UDP endpoint shown here and you have flight telemetry alongside the video stream, both over the same cellular link. See Connect a Ground Station for the setup.
