This technology encompasses applications designed to manage and interact with networked surveillance devices utilizing the Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP). These applications facilitate functions such as video recording, live viewing, playback, and remote control of pan-tilt-zoom cameras. An example includes software installed on a computer or mobile device that connects to an IP-based camera and allows a user to monitor a live video feed.
Such applications offer a centralized management point for multiple surveillance devices, streamlining monitoring and security operations. Historically, these applications evolved from basic video viewing tools to sophisticated platforms incorporating features like motion detection, alarm triggers, and cloud storage integration. This evolution addresses the increasing demand for comprehensive and accessible surveillance solutions.
