How do I stream my IP camera to a website?

VideoBuffer converts your camera's RTSP stream to WebRTC or HLS format, which works in any web browser. Simply enter your RTSP URL, and VideoBuffer provides an embed code you can add to your website.

What cameras does VideoBuffer support?

VideoBuffer supports any camera that outputs RTSP streams, including Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, Axis, Uniview, Amcrest, and all ONVIF-compatible cameras.

What is the streaming latency?

VideoBuffer's WebRTC mode provides sub-second latency, making it suitable for real-time monitoring. HLS fallback mode has slightly higher latency but works on all devices.

Is the streaming secure?

Yes, VideoBuffer uses end-to-end encryption and token-based authentication to keep your streams private and secure.
