RTSP & RTMP Cam - OctoStream

Your iPhone can be a streaming camera. Serve a private RTSP feed on your own network, or go live to YouTube, Twitch, or any RTMP server. Dead simple — no account, no cloud, no subscription. Two ways to stream: RTSP CAMERA SERVER Your iPhone becomes an IP camera that any RTSP client can watch — VLC, FFplay, OBS, Home Assistant, Frigate, Scrypted, Blue Iris, your NVR, your own app. Your stream URL shows right on screen so you can copy it and go. Video never leaves your network. Use a spare iPhone as a security camera, baby monitor, pet cam, or workshop cam. RTMP LIVE BROADCASTING - NEW IN 2.0 Go live to YouTube Live, Twitch, Facebook Live, or any custom RTMP server. Paste your stream URL and key, frame your shot in standby, then tap Go Live when you're ready. The status pill shows LIVE with uptime, and the app reconnects automatically if your network hiccups. What it does: • Streams your camera (front or back) or a test pattern • Microphone audio with AAC encoding, or video-only with one toggle • 480p, 720p, or 1080p - H.264 tuned for live streaming • Portrait or landscape, locked per stream so your feed never flips mid-broadcast • Explicit standby / Go Live control - you decide when you're on air • No account required. No cloud relay. RTSP stays on your local network; RTMP goes only to the server you choose. Built for real work, too. We made this because testing RTSP setups shouldn't require dedicated hardware. If you're building an NVR, debugging a video pipeline, or just need a quick stream to point VLC at - this app gets you there in seconds. We use it ourselves every day while building OctoStream, our video streaming platform. It started as an internal tool and we figured other people dealing with RTSP and RTMP would find it useful too.
