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.

I think Ring doesn't want to loose market share, those clients hooking up their Ring cameras to their own NVR's and not paying Ring for their 'cloud' storage.Probably the best to do is educate potential buyers of the shortcomings of Rings, sterling them somewhere else; that's the only pressure Ring will listen to.;)

HI agree. Makes zero sense. When they already don't worry about our security. At least let us have something. I already got rid of my ring doorbell and switched to nest (since they do have an rtsp feed that can be used). I only have the security camera and security system left now.

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