I have an IP camera and I would like to share its feed.

It can output an RTSP feed as well as simple JPEG images.

I am looking for a way to take that single feed and serve it to multiple viewers.

In reality there may only be a few at any given time, so were not looking at 1,000’s at once.

I also want to do this with no hardware on my end, just the camera, outputting its feed.

Is there a service on the internet that can take that feed and serve it out to multiple people in some way?

Maybe the way to do it, is to transcode that RTSP to something more palatable to browsers, is that an option?

Again, no hardware on my end, I don’t want racks of computers (even 1) sitting at my end of things.

    Whats the camera model? If it supports RTSP and JPEG, you only need to forward ports 80 for JPEG and 554 for RTSP from the router to a local IP address of the camera. And also, you should have static IP, or register your dynamic address at dyndns.org and get a DNS name for it.

    enter image description here

    Then if users want to see RTSP stream from that camera they can open it from a RTSP url referring to the WAN IP address of the router the camera is on.

    For the AXIS camera and the setup from above:

    rtsp://84.55.1.2/axis-media/media.3gp

    That will route to the 10.10.10.1:554 which is the IP camera.

    You can do the less work, if the camera supports UPnP. Then just turn it on, and you will get what address users have to put in their URL and the port to add.

    Now, if you want to display this in browsers, you probably want to get the MOTION JPEG if it is supported, or get JPEG periodically…
