Soracom Flux's SoraCam Image Action now supports live image acquisition from SoraCam (Japanese).

The SoraCam Image Action has been acquiring still images using the cloud recording function, but with this update, it is now able to acquire live images from SoraCam-enabled cameras in real time.

To use this new function, please enable real-time access (Japanese) for SoraCam-enabled cameras.

Note that activating real-time access and using real-time access features will incur a monthly fee of 990 yen per SoraCam-enabled camera. For more details, see Pricing (B) Real-time Access (Japanese).

For more information, see the following documentation:

• SoraCam Image Action: SoraCam Image Action (Japanese)
• Soracom Flux general information: Soracom Flux Documentation

If you have any questions, please contact Soracom Support.

Please note that this service is currently only available for customers located in Japan.

We are pleased to announce new 60-day and 90-day Cloud Always Recording Licenses for Soracom Cloud Camera Services (SoraCam).

With these new licenses, videos uploaded from a SoraCam compatible camera device will be stored for 60 and 90 days, respectively, allowing users to review footage from over a month ago, such as when managing construction sites, building projects, or other use cases that span several months.

These new license options are now available in addition to the existing 7-day, 14-day, and 30-day licenses. Note that 60-day and 90-day licenses are charged on a monthly basis per camera.

For more information, please refer to the pricing information (Japanese) or the SoraCam product page (Japanese).

If you have any questions, please contact Soracom Support.

Please note that this service is currently only available for customers located in Japan.

Country	Networks	Before	After	Remarks
Singapore	SingTel	3G, 4G (LTE)	-	Network closed

Connectivity in Singapore is still available through StarHub 4G (LTE). Note that 3G-only devices will not be able to connect in Singapore after the above network closure.

For complete details about data rates, supported carriers and radio types, and coverage in other countries, please refer to the Supported Carriers documentation.

We are pleased to announce that Remote Command now supports UDP and TCP.

Remote Command is a feature that allows you to send commands to devices directly from the Soracom platform or Soracom API.

With this update, you can now send commands over UDP, which can be combined with eDRX to ensure reliable data transmission even while devices are in sleep mode and are unable to respond immediately. TCP is also supported, making it suitable when guaranteed delivery is required or when you need to receive responses from devices.

For more details, please refer to the Remote Command documentation.

We are pleased to introduce a new web client, SoraCam Viewer (Early Access), for viewing recorded videos in Soracom Cloud Camera Services (SoraCam).

While videos uploaded by SoraCam compatible devices can already be viewed in the User Console, SoraCam Viewer provides a more intuitive experience for video playback.

SoraCam Viewer is available as an Early Access feature, and for now is focused on providing an intuitive playback interface. Other functions, such as camera registration and management, remain in the User Console.

You can access SoraCam Viewer here: https://sora-cam-viewer.soracom.io (sign in required)

We invite you to try SoraCam Viewer and share your feedback. If you have any questions, please contact Soracom Support.

Please note that this service is currently only available for customers located in Japan.
