RTSP Camera
Read full descriptionHide full description
RTSP Camera turns your iPhone into a standalone RTSP server. With no cloud and no account, it streams camera video (H.264) and microphone audio (AAC) to clients on the same local network in real time. HOW IT WORKS - Tap "Start" and the app shows an address like rtsp://[phone-ip]:8554/live. - Open that address in VLC, ffplay, an NVR, or any RTSP client on the same Wi-Fi. - No player? Open http://[phone-ip]:8080 in a web browser on the same Wi-Fi. Choose a near real-time fast view (no sound) or a view with sound (about 6β10 seconds behind). - Video goes straight from the device to the viewer β it never passes through our servers. FEATURES - Live camera preview and streaming controls (preview starts as soon as you open the app) - Web browser viewing β watch in Safari or Chrome with no app to install (fast view or view with sound) - Connection guide β address QR code, copy and share, per-player steps, and live connection diagnostics - Video quality β 540p, 720p, or 1080p (when supported by the device and camera) - 7 video filters β Original, Mono, Noir, Sepia, Low light, Radiant, Vivid - Front and back camera switching - Viewer count, viewer trend chart, and elapsed time - Lockable portrait/landscape streaming orientation - One-tap address copy - Optional Digest authentication for both RTSP and browser viewing (credentials stored in the device Keychain) - Optional cellular streaming: push to your own RTMP relay (bring-your-own) BEFORE YOU START - A separate client on the same network (a player such as VLC, or a web browser) is required to view the stream. - The browser fast view has no sound. The view with sound runs about 6β10 seconds behind and needs an internet connection in browsers other than Safari. For sound without delay, use VLC or another RTSP player. - Streaming runs only while the app is in the foreground (iOS does not allow background camera capture). - Authentication is off by default; enable it on untrusted networks. - Cellular streaming requires a relay server that you set up and operate. - The app shows an ad on launch (non-personalized). PRIVACY This app shows ads; Google AdMob may collect data to serve them (non-personalized only, no tracking). Otherwise audio/video is sent only to the destination you specify and is not collected by the developer. Privacy policy: https://legal.therene.co.kr/rtsp-camera/

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RTSP Camera at none against MirrorLive's 4. MirrorLive's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
