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.

Right now in you are in the aftermath of a storm you have no protection or access to your cameras if the internet is down which is a major reason not to s ell customers Ring devices. If Ring wants to expand to a wider market and appeal to integrators they should include tue protocol.

Lol, its funny you mention this.... it's the first thing that popped into my head when I came across this post. Have they allowed RTSP? I know this thread is months old however they don't seem to care. I myself am switching out all of my Ring devices for Wyze. Enablling/implementing RTSP should be simple for them to do BUT they know and realize people would then start to connect their own NVRs and NAS instead of using their monthly cloud services hence losing market share.I feel bad, because I recommended Ring to quite a few friends and family before I knew better. Even if it means shelling out some more money right now, in the long run they would end up saving by cutting the monthly cost... aside from storing your own footage via RTSP, it would have been nice to implement the video streams into 3rd party apps as well.Oh well....
