RTSP protocol for Ring devices?
Any plan to enable the RTSP protocol on Ring Doorbells and Cameras? That's a standard streaming protocol for security cams that will enable Ring devices to work with 3rd party software like Blue Iris.

RTSP is indeed the predominant protocol used by IP CCTV cameras - that is what might be regarded as professional grade CCTV equipment. However it seems consumer or 'smart home' cameras more typically use HLS that is HTTPS Live Streaming instead.For example Netatmo use HLS on their indoor, outdoor and smart doorbell cameras. I believe NetGear Arlo might support both, I have seen a comment saying it (now) supports RTSP but that stream is encrypted. The fact NetGear Arlo now supports HomeKit suggests it also supports HLS since that is what HomeKit supports.So support for both protocols would be preferable. For what its worth the app 'SecuritySpy' for Mac only supports RTSP and not HLS. :cry:Also it seems older or simpler cameras may still only support MJPEG which as far as I am aware does not support audio.I believe the Ring doorbells support SIP and the Ring Stickup Camera uses MJPEG.

The cams with the weaker wifi signal do drop there connections. I have upgraded my wifi network with a medium duty router and that helped. I then took my old linksys router and used that as an extender. That helped.. I do have plans to expand my wifi network with a tp-link extender. RING/AMAZON - LE

HOk thanks. It's weird mine would drop connection every couple of hours. It wasn't the wifi signal though. I have terrific signal throughout my house. Blue Iris would have an error and wouldn't be able to stream the wyze again until I rebooted the camera. I spoke to wyze and basically they just said

Also voting for RTSP for ring devices for Shinobi and zoneminder integration
