RTSP Camera
Turn your old smartphone into an IP camera
RTSP Camera lets you give new life to an unused smartphone by turning it into a full-featured CCTV IP camera. Instead of leaving an old device in a drawer, you can repurpose it as a network camera for home, office, warehouse, or temporary monitoring tasks.

The application uses the RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol), a widely supported industry standard for transmitting audio and video over IP networks, making the stream compatible with most VMS platforms, NVR software, and media players.
The setup process is intentionally simple. After installing the app from Google Play, you launch it on the smartphone and configure the basic streaming parameters. Within minutes, the phone starts broadcasting a live RTSP stream that can be viewed on a computer, another mobile device, or integrated directly into professional video surveillance software. No cables are required, as the connection works over Wi-Fi or a local network.
RTSP Camera supports real-time video and audio streaming with ultra-low latency, ensuring minimal delay between the scene and the viewer. Users can select either the front-facing or the rear main camera, depending on the required field of view and image quality. Video is encoded using the H.264 codec, which balances image quality with efficient bandwidth usage and reduced power consumption, helping the device operate longer without excessive battery drain.
A built-in RTSP server is included in the app, eliminating the need for external servers, capture cards, or additional equipment. The application runs as a background service, allowing the smartphone to remain operational for other tasks while continuously streaming video. This makes it suitable not only for permanent installations but also for temporary surveillance, testing, or mobile monitoring scenarios.
From a cost and practicality standpoint, RTSP Camera offers a simple and effective way to extend an existing surveillance system or create a new one with minimal investment. It is particularly useful for users who need an extra camera quickly, want to test video analytics software, or require a flexible monitoring solution without committing to dedicated hardware. Best of all, the app is free, making it an accessible entry point into IP-based video surveillance.
