Hello

As you know RTSP streams are not directly supported anymore in browsers, and i have to be able to provide my users a working link to a streaming IP CAM, that ca be used in various webpages that want to cast that stream in their browser.

The stream comes from a dome surveillance camera (interlogix - TVP-3104) , discontinued but still working great.
Here is the RTSP stream, as it can be viewed from VLC or other streamer.
rtsp://209.15.166.20

To be able to make this stream work as a link in a given webpage, i have to process it in a third party stream service like wowza ou the one i had succes with "RTSP.ME"
here is the URL it provides me with after the process:

[Moderator Note: Clicking the link presented a "been deleted" screen message. Removing link.]

https://*******

It works, but costs money to maintain, and has limitations in the free version in which the user has to push the play button, otherwise the stream does not start.

Do you think there is a way to convert that URL (rtsp://209.15.166.20) to work directly in a webpage ?

Thanks for any help.

My suggestion is to replace the existing camera with a camera that directly supports the streaming and browsing requirements.

Versus adding on more software etc. that makes streaming more complex and may otherwise create future problems.

Repurpose the old camera.

Certainly some additional upfront costs but likely will prove worthwhile with respect to time and effort that may be needed to nurse along the old camera.
