## What it is
Cameradar is a Go-based command-line tool that scans targets for open RTSP video surveillance endpoints and uses dictionary attacks to discover stream routes and camera credentials. It produces a report of accessible RTSP streams and is distributed as a binary or Docker image.

## Use cases
- find exposed RTSP cameras on my network
- bruteforce CCTV camera credentials
- audit video surveillance security
- detect open RTSP ports on a subnet
- pentest IP cameras
- enumerate RTSP stream routes

## When to choose
- you need an automated RTSP discovery and credential auditing tool
- you want a ready-to-run Docker image for camera pentesting
- you are doing authorized security assessments of CCTV infrastructure

## When to avoid
- you lack authorization to test the target networks
- you need a general-purpose network vulnerability scanner
- you want to view or record RTSP streams rather than audit access

## Facets
