rtspwebviewer 0.1.2

Simple web viewer for RTSP streams.

Description

Web server that displays an RTSP video stream.

It is not a very efficient solution in terms of video transmission, but you will be able to see the video stream from all devices (Windows, Linux, Mac, iPhone, Android).

Audio is not supported.

Use case

You have a security camera that streams in RTSP (e.g. Foscam) and want to make the video accessible via web.

Install with pip

$ pip install rtspwebviewer --user

Install from source

$ git clone https://github.com/luiscarlosgph/rtspwebviewer.git
$ cd rtspwebviewer
$ python3 setup.py install

Run

• Syntax:

  $ python rtspwebviewer.run -u <rtsp_address> -a <listening_ip_address> -p <port> -t <web_title> -w <password>
  

• Example:

  $ python rtspwebviewer.run -u 'rtsp://user:pass@127.0.0.1:8669/unicast' -a 0.0.0.0 -p 7654 -t 'RTSP Web Viewer' -w fancypassword
  

  In this case, you should access http://127.0.0.1:7654/fancypassword to see the website displaying the video stream.

  The IP address 0.0.0.0 means that the web server will listen in all your network interfaces.

  The password parameter is optional, if you do not specify one, you should access http://127.0.0.1:7654 to see the video.
