IP Camera RTSP streaming setup

What It Does

RTSP/RTMP input — pulls streams from any IP camera, DVR, NVR, or RTSP/RTMP source
DASH/HLS output — transcodes and packages for browser playback on any device
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
VideoWhisper Restream Player — optimized HTML5 player for IP camera streams
No public camera IP required — server pulls from camera; viewers never access the camera directly

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.

Construction & Real Estate

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.
