GETTING RTSP TO WORK NATIVELY IN THE BROWSER

Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) is an application-level network communication system that transfers real-time data from multimedia to an endpoint device by communicating directly with the server streaming the data. The Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) is tried-and-true video technology. It's used to control audio/video transmission between two endpoints and facilitate the transportation of low latency streaming content across the internet. Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) allows you to pull a live video stream from your camera and view it from different devices and programs. Its primary uses are to pull a video feed from a camera to an NVR, viewing software, or even home automation solutions. RTSP is not natively supported in Web Browsers at the time the paper was written.

In this paper, I will discuss techniques on how to render RTSP natively in your web browser using only a <img> tag inHTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) powered by my platform which hundreds of people use today called OpenRTSP, and an alternative way to build an engine/server like my platform from scratch in detail.
