IP Camera Re-Streaming — Publish RTSP Cameras to Your Website

    Connect your IP cameras and deliver live video to viewers in any browser — no Flash, no viewer app, no setup on the viewer’s side. Video plays right on your webpage. Solution involves: a live streaming server service that retrieves the RTSP stream and delivers it as browser compatible DASH/HLS + turnkey site software to manage re-streams on your domain or subdomain.

    What It Does

    • RTSP/RTMP input — pulls streams from any IP camera, DVR, NVR, or RTSP/RTMP source
    • DASH/HLS output — packages for browser playback on any device
    • Scale – streaming server serves multiple clients, without viewer load on IP camera and network
    • Channel management — each camera gets its own page with live/offline status and thumbnails
    • Access control — restrict channel access to specific users, groups, or paid members
    • Multiple concurrent cameras — run many cameras simultaneously (plan-dependent)
    • Automatic snapshots — thumbnail previews updated from the live feed
    • Load optimizations – auto-pause cameras with no viewers and resume on request
    • VideoWhisper Restream Player — optimized HTML5 player for IP camera streams, resume paused
    • Keep Camera Stream Private — server pulls from camera; viewers never access the camera directly
    • Turnkey Site Solution – own site on your domain/subdomain to manage IP camera restreams

    Popular Use Cases

    Short-Term Rentals & Airbnb

    Share exterior or amenity cameras with current guests. Each booking gets private access to their property’s channel — access revoked automatically after checkout.

    Pet Hotels & Dog Daycare

    Let owners check on their pets during the day via a private channel. Restrict access to the current boarder’s owner only — other clients see nothing.

    Kindergartens & Daycares

    Give parents live access to classroom cameras during the day. Channel access restricted to enrolled families, with optional recording for end-of-day review.

    Gyms & Fitness Studios

    Live views of equipment areas, class rooms, or studio spaces for members. Helps people see how busy equipment is before driving over.

    Live progress feeds for investors, project managers, and stakeholders. Time-lapse archiving documents the build week by week.

    Remote Farms & Agriculture

    Monitor livestock, greenhouses, irrigation equipment, and entry points from anywhere in the world.

    Retail & Hospitality

    Customer-facing or management views of busy areas, queues, or dining rooms — live on your website without exposing camera access to the public internet.

    Camera Compatibility

    Works with any camera or stream source supporting:

    • RTSP — most IP cameras (Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, Uniview, Hanwha, Amcrest, Foscam, and more)
    • RTMP — streaming encoders, some NVRs
    • HLS (m3u8) — existing stream endpoints
    • UDP — broadcast/multicast sources

    Recommended encoding: H.264 video + AAC audio for best browser compatibility.

    Technical ReStream Highlights

    • User Interface: Own site with Broadcast Live Video with frontend/backend to manage re-streams
    • Host Interface: VideoWhisper CRM to review, troubleshoot re-streams

    • Server: VideoWhisper Server (included in all site2stream.com plans)
