A C++ RTSP streaming server that captures video from V4L2 devices (H264, HEVC, JPEG, VP8, VP9) and optionally audio from ALSA devices, serving it over RTP/RTSP with unicast, multicast, TCP, and HTTP tunneling support. It also provides HLS and MPEG-DASH output via an HTTP server for compatible capture formats.
Use cases
- stream a webcam over rtsp
- serve v4l2 camera feed as hls
- stream raspberry pi camera to network
- multicast video from capture device
- rtsp server for ip camera setup
- stream camera with audio over network
When to choose
- you need to stream V4L2 camera devices over RTSP with low latency
- you want HLS or MPEG-DASH output from a capture device
- you need multicast or RTP-over-HTTP transport options
- you run Linux-based embedded or IoT devices with cameras
When to avoid
- you need to transcode video formats rather than stream native device capture
- you want a GUI-based streaming solution
- your platform is not Linux or lacks V4L2 support
- you need WebRTC playback directly without an additional gateway
