SmartRTSP is a local-first RTSP and ONVIF camera viewer for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It connects directly to compatible IP cameras for live video, on-device AI detection, and local recording. The app includes limited free live viewing; after the free viewing limit, Pro is required, with monthly, yearly, and lifetime options.
Our Approach
Privacy First
If you enable remote viewing, camera video is sent over the internet to your viewing device and may pass through a relay server that forwards the video stream. If remote viewing is disabled, SmartRTSP does not contact remote-viewing or relay services. This does not disable the separate error reports or other services described below.
Local & Offline
Works without any internet connection. SmartRTSP communicates directly from your iPhone or Mac to your cameras over your local network — no cloud intermediary required.
Open Standards
Works with any RTSP or ONVIF-compliant camera — not locked to any brand or ecosystem. ONVIF auto-discovery finds cameras on your network automatically.
Supported Platforms
Camera Compatibility
SmartRTSP works with any camera that supports RTSP or ONVIF — that covers virtually every IP security camera on the market. Tested brands include:
If your camera supports RTSP or ONVIF, SmartRTSP can connect to it — regardless of brand.
