Streamedian is a JavaScript library implementing an RTSP client that plays IP camera streams directly in the browser over a standard HTML5 <video> element using Media Source Extensions. It muxes RTP H264/AAC payloads into MP4 fragments in the browser, relying on a lightweight server-side WebSocket proxy to retransmit RTSP streams without transcoding.
Use cases
- play rtsp ip camera stream in browser
- view cctv cameras on a web page without plugins
- embed rtsp stream in html5 video element
- low latency camera monitoring without transcoding server
- watch nvr streams in chrome or firefox
- javascript rtsp client for web dashboard
When to choose
- you need to display RTSP IP camera feeds in modern desktop or Android browsers
- you want to avoid heavy transcoding servers and preserve full video quality
- your streams use H264 video and AAC audio
- you can run a small WebSocket proxy alongside your web server
When to avoid
- you need iOS Safari or Internet Explorer support
- your streams use codecs other than H264/AAC
- you need HLS, MPEG-DASH, or WebRTC playback instead of RTSP
- you cannot deploy any server-side WebSocket proxy component
