Get Smart RTSP on Apple TV

Why SmartRTSP on Apple TV

Built for the big screen

Large focus cards, full-screen live viewing, and a layout designed for Siri Remote navigation from across the room — not a shrunken phone UI.

Local ONVIF discovery

Scan your local network to find ONVIF cameras automatically, or add any camera manually with its RTSP/RTSPS stream URL — with connection testing before you save it.

2×2 monitor grid — up to 4 cameras

Watch up to four cameras at once in a resource-aware grid that automatically manages live vs. standby streams to keep playback smooth on Apple TV hardware.

ONVIF PTZ from the couch

Pan, tilt, zoom, focus, and return to home position with the Siri Remote on any camera that supports ONVIF PTZ — no phone required.
