## What is Phone RTSP Camera?

Turn your phone into a private IP camera.

RTSP Camera streams live H.264 video and AAC audio straight from your iPhone — no cloud, no relay, no account. Any RTSP client on your Wi-Fi can watch: Home Assistant, VLC, Frigate, Blue Iris, and ffmpeg.

YOUR PHONE IS THE CAMERA AND THE SERVER
The stream is served on-device at rtsp://phone-ip:8554/stream, so video never leaves your local network. Point your client at that URL and you are live in seconds. There is nothing to configure in the cloud, because there is no cloud.

BUILT FOR HOME ASSISTANT
• Live stream: rtsp://phone-ip:8554/stream
• Still image: http://phone-ip:8554/snapshot.jpg
Add it with the Generic Camera integration — no add-ons, no plugins.

SEE OTHER CAMERAS.
The Previews tab finds other phones running RTSP Camera on your Wi-Fi, so you can open their live streams with one tap. You can also paste any rtsp:// URL and save it for later.

TUNE IT TO YOUR NETWORK
• 480p, 720p or 1080p
• Adjustable frame rate and quality
• Front or back camera, with torch
• Optional audio with noise suppression
• Warning when the encoder can't keep up
• Screen stays awake while streaming

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No accounts. No subscriptions. No uploads to someone else's server. Video goes from your camera to your local network — that's it.

Works with VLC, Home Assistant, Frigate, Blue Iris, ffmpeg, and any standard RTSP client.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-10-28

What's new in 1.1.1

• Adding a stream now opens a native sheet — drag it up when you need more room, then tap Add to save.
• The stream player is now edge to edge: video fills the screen with a back button over the picture.
• Fixed discovery so two phones with the same name (say, two "iPhone"s) no longer hide each other. Streams are listed by their address.
• Settings pickers and sliders are now correctly centered, and sliders land on exact values.
• Removing a saved stream uses the standard iOS alert.
• Behind-the-scenes stability and performance improvements.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-27

What's New
• Previews tab — Discover other devices running RTSP Camera on your Wi-Fi and watch their live streams right in the app.
• Check your camera from a second phone — Stream from one device and view it on another, end to end.
• Save streams — Add any rtsp:// URL and keep it for one-tap access.
• Noise suppression — Reduce background microphone noise with an adjustable noise gate.
• Better landscape layout — Content clears the notch/Dynamic Island, and stream cards flow into a tidy grid on wider screens.
• Reliability — Fixed crashes during long streaming sessions, audio/video desync, and playback issues.
