## What it is
EasyDarwin is an open-source, high-performance streaming media server supporting RTSP/RTMP push and pull streams with distribution over RTMP, RTSP, HLS, HTTP-FLV, WebSocket-FLV, and WebRTC. It includes a web management interface, RESTful API, keyframe caching, on-demand playback, and supports distributed load balancing for building streaming media cloud platforms.

## Use cases
- self-host an RTSP streaming server for IP cameras
- redistribute RTSP camera streams as HLS or WebRTC for browser playback
- build a video surveillance streaming relay with keyframe caching
- serve live video to web players over HTTP-FLV or WebSocket-FLV
- set up a distributed load-balanced streaming media platform
- stream H264/H265 video with push stream authentication
- preview camera feeds through a web interface without extra API calls

## When to choose
- you need a self-hosted RTSP/RTMP streaming server with multi-protocol output
- you want browser playback of camera streams via HLS, FLV, or WebRTC
- you need a web UI and RESTful API to manage streams
- you require cross-platform deployment including ARM and RISC-V architectures

## When to avoid
- you need a full VOD platform with transcoding and DRM
- you require user authentication, which is not yet implemented
- you want a turnkey installer rather than building from source
- you need SRT or other protocols beyond RTMP/RTSP/HLS/FLV/WebRTC
