Hi Mikeme,

A good security camera system is helpful to prevent break-ins when you are not at home. You can refer to the tips and steps on the post: 5 Simple Steps to Install a Home Security System. It expounds the detailed guide, and introduces some good and cost effective home security camera systems for green hands.

RTSP connection to MotionEye

You can stream live video from your MotionEye-powered camera by using the RTSP protocol. This can be used for home security applications, or even to make a live video feed available to your friends and family.

In order to use this feature, you will need a RTSP-compatible player (such as VLC). Once you have installed VLC, you can use it to connect to the following URL:

rtsp://your.camera.ip.address:8085/unicast

It's hard to describe the feeling of walking into your house after a long day of work, slipping off your shoes, and relaxing on the couch—finally able to exhale.

But then you realize… there's something wrong. You don't quite know what it is… but something doesn't feel right. So you get up, walk around, check things out… and suddenly freeze in place.

You've found the source of your unease: a strange, creepy camera tucked away in the corner of your living room. But who put it there? And why? Is it some kind of bug? Or even worse—is someone using it to spy on you and your family?
