How it works
SmartRTSP connects directly to RTSP and ONVIF cameras on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Apple Home setup is available in SmartRTSP for Mac, so Mac users can bridge compatible cameras without buying new camera hardware.
The goal is simple: if a camera already works in SmartRTSP, you should not need to replace it just to use Apple Home. Confirm live view, then continue the Apple Home setup in SmartRTSP for Mac.
Set up in four steps
Use SmartRTSP on iPhone, iPad or Mac to add your camera and confirm the live view works.
Keep your camera and Apple device on the same local network for the simplest experience.
Use SmartRTSP for Mac when you are ready to connect the camera with Apple Home.
Keep using the cameras you already own instead of replacing working hardware.
Why this matters for Apple users
- Bring more camera brands toward Apple Home than native HomeKit hardware alone.
- Reuse existing RTSP and ONVIF cameras instead of replacing working devices.
- Keep SmartRTSP as your main viewer while adding Apple Home convenience.
- Use your Mac as the center of the setup without buying extra hardware.
