## What is RTSPmyCam?

Use this App to monitor your IP cams directly. Bypassing thus all proprietary clouds.

It was designed to be made simple, proposing only one protocol (who wants to make choices between HTTP, RTSP, TCP, UDP, ... ?), and the minimal required options.

So no bells and whistles that bring confusion. Yet some innovative options are proposed to help users with dynamical public IP address. High/standard definition channels can be selected automatically as well.

The counterpart is these limitations:
_ the App only supports RTSP (TCP) protocol, which most IP cams support
_ the App only supports h264, not MJPEG, not h265, which is once again supported by most IP cams
_ you need to open and re-direct ports on your IP box (router) to your IP cam

And it's free ! So, give it a try.

Any feedback is welcome by mail, as proposed top right of the FaceBook page, or directly on this FB page.

### 4/5 — Starts with paused streams and distracting red padding

*2020-10-30*

For some reason I always have to do an extra tap to enable live streams after starting the app. Also red borders for live streams are distracting, it would make for sense to have usual black padding and make it red only if something wrong to attract attention.

**Developer response:** Thanks for feedback. The red is just a reference to "live streaming signals".

### 1/5 — Still not working

*2020-06-05*

Developer told me "too sorry for you, but it's working" - Tested again (2020-06-05) and still NOT working. Other Apps like "IPCams" do their job.

**Developer response:** Too bad for you. But the App does work. Yet, only with h264 streams, as indicated.
Using a login/password is required.

### 5/5 — Simple à utiliser

*2017-07-31*

Fonctionne parfaitement avec mes caméras Zavio
