Does anyone know a good RTSP stream viewer app for iOS? I’m looking For something to view my IP cameras. Everything I’m finding is free for a limited amount of cameras, or has a yearly subscription. Figured I’d ask you other self hosted to see if anyone else has any good recommendations.
Ha ha yeah I know normally I’m pretty good at finding stuff if it does exist, so I don’t post very often but I figured it was a longshot so I would ask xD
Restreamer is a great service to run on your machine and then load the feed on your iOS device. They have a decent UI for multi cameras, but then Frigate is just a few steps away…
I sort of gave up on this once I discovered Frigate. Now I just watch the streams from my browser. I bought a domain name and use Nginx Proxy Manager so I can access Frigate from anywhere.
I just started using frigate as well just need something simple and easy for the wife to use. We use frigate in home assistant and viewing single cameras is fine and all just wanted something more fluent. I did try out IPCams app and it works really well with frigate restreams just didn’t wanna shell out 50$ a year if I don’t have too. But fully understandable.
Not strictly RSTP, but the “zmninja” app works with a Zoneminder server, which can record and manage RSTP/ONVIF cameras. I would really recommend some sort of NVR (like Zoneminder) if you have cameras since there’s a low probability you’ll be able to watch them live all the time.
Wouldn’t it be easier to just view the cameras through the interface of your CCTV recording software? I personally use Shinobi for recording, and run Frigate for object detection and notifications through home assistant.

It’s kinda tough overall to find free apps on iOS for self-hosted stuff since it costs the developer money to even have it listed.

I got motioneye running on my server and the app on our phones

Try IPCamViewer for watching the restreams.
VLC lists RTSP as one of the stream types it can open on iOS.
