We will use chromecastor cast function from the TV, to play the rtsp stream taken with the VLC player in the camera.

What is the RTSP stream for surveillance cameras?

RTSP stands for Real Time Streaming Protocol and in addition is a protocol for streaming live video over the Internet.

To be able to stream a video stream through the RTSP protocol you need a server, in our case the surveillance camera itself, which is, among other things, an RTSP server.

To watch a video stream RTSP, you need a client, and this client can be a video player capable of handling streaming streams.

Why do we need "our improvisation" to watch the surveillance camera on TV?

1. We need an RTSP server, and as I said above, we have one in the "person" of the surveillance camera.
2. We need a player for RTSP playback, and here we have VLC media player.
3. Last but not least, we need a Google Cast smart TV or a normal TV with chromecast

Summary of watch steps TV surveillance camera

We take the video stream from the surveillance camera with the help of the VLC that can run on the PC, but also goes from the phone. After we have the video stream in the VLC, we throw it in the TV that has a cast function or has a Chromecast attached.

What do you do if you don't have a smart TV or Chromecast?

We also have a solution called HDMI cable.

Remove the signal you bring to your TV from your PC card via an HDMI cable. After that, all you have to do is set up a multi monitor and you're ready.

It's not wireless, but you do your job and you can watch the surveillance camera on the TV.

What about the new generation cameras (smart).

Newer gadgets, do not have the administration interface, they only work through applications. But that doesn't discourage us…

It is very possible that on many models of gadget-type cameras we have RTSP video stream, as is the Tp-link Tapo c200, which I recently presented to you, and which has a flow RTSP.

Consult the manufacturer's page before buying the camera if you plan to watch the RTSP stream on your TV.
