The Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) is a network protocol used to control streaming media between devices. It allows devices to establish and manage streaming sessions, making it possible to access live video feeds over a network. Some DVRs, NVRs, and IP camera models also support third-party RTSP streams. This means you can integrate compatible cameras or streaming sources from other manufacturers into your existing surveillance system.
