This mobile app allows you to turn your old smartphone into an HD camera with support for Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) streaming, which is perfect for keeping an eye on your home or office while you're away. What is RTSP? RTSP is a network communication protocol that enables the streaming of audio and video data in real-time over the internet or local network. It is often used for surveillance cameras, video conferencing, and other multimedia applications that require real-time data transmission.
Installation To get started, simply install the RTSP Security Camera app on your old smartphone. Once installed, you can use it over Wi-Fi to create a video surveillance system without having to spend a fortune on an IP camera. The app comes with a built-in RTSP server to stream video and audio for network live broadcast, so you don't need any additional hardware.
Web Camera Pro If you want to record everything that happens in your home while you're away, install the
Web Camera Pro software on your computer. The software comes with an intelligent motion detector that allows you to view live streaming and recorded events captured by motion detection. You can monitor your loved ones' health or find out what your pets are up to.
Features The RTSP Security Camera app comes packed with a variety of features to enhance your user experience. You can use your smartphone as an IP camera, which works 24/7 with the screen off. You can live stream video and audio to your personal computer or mobile phone, save video broadcasts and time-lapses on your computer in real-time, use your phone as a webcam on your PC with audio input, and connect to your CCTV surveillance system with Wi-Fi.
Other features include ultra-low latency and minimum delay, the ability to work in the background as a service, low power consumption, H264 compression video stream, and the option to choose between the back main camera and the front-facing camera. You can also monitor live streaming video 24/7 all day and night, support different camera resolutions, set the number of frames per second, choose the main or front camera for CCTV broadcast, and benefit from an automatic restart of the broadcast in case of Wi-Fi network failures.
How to Use Using the app is easy. To start, open the RTSP Security Camera app on your old smartphone and stream video over Wi-Fi from your phone's camera using the RTSP protocol.

[email protected]:1935.
Where:
admin: admin - default login and password (you can change it in settings)
