Frequently Asked Questions

The RTSP address is the URL your camera uses to share video over the internet. You can find it in the user manual, in the camera settings, or on the manufacturer’s website.

Typical format:

rtsp://user:password@IP-address:554/path_to_stream

Not sure? Search for your camera model together with the phrase RTSP URL or contact the manufacturer.

This is usually caused by an incorrect address, an unreachable camera, or a blocked connection.

  • Make sure the camera is powered on and RTSP is enabled in its settings.
  • For access from the internet, the stream must be publicly accessible (private IPs like 192.168.x.x will not work externally).
  • If the camera is behind a router, set up port forwarding (typically port 554).
  • Check that the connection is not blocked by a firewall or your internet provider.

This error means that the camera does not understand the entered address. Usually, a part of the path that specifies the video channel is missing or incorrect.

Correct address format:

rtsp://user:password@camera_address:554/path_to_stream

Examples by manufacturer:
• Hikvision: rtsp://user:[email protected]:554/Streaming/Channels/101
• Dahua: rtsp://user:[email protected]:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0
• Axis: rtsp://user:[email protected]:554/axis-media/media.amp

What to do: Check the exact format in your camera’s manual or on the manufacturer’s website – each model uses a different “path”.

The camera responds, but the requested stream path does not exist. The address is almost correct, but the last part (channel/stream) is invalid.

Try these options:

  • Main stream (higher quality): /Streaming/Channels/101
  • Substream (lower bitrate): /Streaming/Channels/102

Examples:
rtsp://user:[email protected]:554/Streaming/Channels/101
rtsp://user:[email protected]:554/Streaming/Channels/102

If you use paths like /live, /h264, or /1 and the camera returns an error, your model simply does not support them. You can find the correct path in the manual or using ONVIF tools.

The application tried to connect, but the camera did not respond in time. It might be turned off, incorrectly connected, or not accessible from the internet.

  • Check the camera’s power and network connection.
  • Verify that you are using the correct address, for example: rtsp://user:[email protected]:554/Streaming/Channels/101.
  • If the camera is on another network, port 554 usually needs to be forwarded on your router.
  • The connection may be blocked by a firewall or your internet provider.

The player does not know how to reach the camera. This is not an issue with the last part of the address, but a network problem.

  • Internal IPs (e.g. 192.168.1.10) do not work from the internet – for external access you need a public IP or a hostname (DDNS).

You need to configure port forwarding on your router (typically port 554) to the internal IP address of the camera.

  • Instructions for your specific router can be found online.
  • Use strong passwords and disable unnecessary services on your camera.

Yes. If your IP address changes occasionally, use a free Dynamic DNS service (for example No-IP, DuckDNS, Dynu).

  • You will get a hostname that automatically updates to your current IP address.
  • Most routers and cameras support DDNS directly in their settings.

You can check your public IP address on whatismyipaddress.com or in your router’s administration panel.

Note: With mobile or shared connections, your IP address might be shared with other users.

Yes. Open multiple tabs or windows with different RTSP addresses – each stream will play independently.

Yes, if the camera provides audio. We attempt to play the sound (usually AAC codec). Some browsers restrict automatic audio playback – enable it manually if necessary.

Technical details

  • Supports only rtsp:// and rtsps:// URLs.
  • Must be publicly accessible – private/internal IPs are not allowed.
  • Make sure the camera or stream is accessible from the internet.
  • Other protocols (e.g. HTTP, HTTPS, files) are not supported.
  • Streaming starts when the player is loaded and stops when you leave.

We currently do not support stream recording or analytics. This service is focused purely on live playback.

About the Project

Hi, I’m Tomáš – a developer who wanted a simple and reliable way to watch his IP camera from anywhere, without complicated apps or closed systems.

I built this tool to convert the raw stream from a camera into a format that can be played directly in a web browser. It started as a personal need, but I soon realized it could help others too.

Why I Created It

Most camera systems are complex, expensive, or require installing apps I don’t trust with access to my devices. I wanted something lightweight, secure, and universal – a solution that works on any device without unnecessary setup.

I believe technology should help, not frustrate. That’s the spirit of this project.

Have feedback or just want to say hi? Write to me at [email protected].

This is a side project built with simplicity in mind. It remains free while I explore ways to keep it sustainable long-term.
