User-friendly features
Your feedback shaped our latest innovations that you’ll find indispensable!
Manually test video services in the field or the lab from a web app
Witbe’s Remote Eye Controller (REC) is a virtual Network Operations Center (NOC). It gives you real-time visibility and control over your devices in the field or the lab, as if you were physically in front of them.
See what is happening at the end-user level to diagnose and resolve issues quickly.
From voice command support to mobile device control, the REC simplifies and speeds up collaborative troubleshooting.
Fully personalize your virtual NOC
You can now customize and tailor the REC to fit your daily operations:
- Maximize the video to focus on what happens in the stream
- Display device activity details to immediately see what is being tested
Easily find the devices you use the most by adding them to favorites, creating dynamic clusters, adjusting the grid size, and filtering devices that are in maintenance or already being controlled by someone else.
Display as many devices as you want with an infinite scroll.
Stop arguing, start solving!
Click, record, and share evidence of what you see.
Debating if what you saw is true or not when other teams or partners can’t replicate the error can be frustrating and cumbersome.
With the REC's new Record button, simply click on any video stream in the Remote Eye Controller to save exactly what you see, then share it with teams or partners to resolve issues faster.
Shared recordings are perfect for teams to speak the same language and solve problems together.
Automate your manual tests to get instantly notified of any issue
Catch streaming errors on your mosaic as soon as they happen!
NOC teams can now instantly visualize an error in red on the mosaic and shorten their response time to resolve them.
When a problem strikes, enter the device and instantly trigger a new test to verify the status of the issue.
Actionable, detailed, and organized data? Yes, please!
The Witbox automatically streams Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) into Smartgate, Witbe’s observability platform, to:
- Monitor services proactively
- Track improvements over time
- Inspect alerts and video recordings when issues are detected
In 2024, you can access real-time video and instant reports during tests, no waiting required. Use Smartgate to replay the Witbox measurements and diagnose errors.
With the new History View, you can generate reports on:
- User controls, to track which Witbox and devices are most used
- Reboots, to identify abnormal behavior
