Connect your IP cameras to a WordPress site and deliver live video to viewers in any browser — no Flash, no viewer app, no setup on the viewer’s side. Video plays as DASH/HLS right on your webpage.
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 Hosts
Share exterior or amenity cameras with current guests. Each booking gets private access to their property’s channel — access is 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 is 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 Development
Live progress feeds for investors, project managers, and stakeholders. Time-lapse archiving documents the build week by week.

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.
Camera Compatibility
