Lantern RTSP Cam

Lantern RTSP Cam turns your iPhone into a practical RTSP video tool for local streaming, IP cameras, OBS Studio workflows, testing, monitoring, and everyday viewing.

Use your iPhone as an RTSP camera source, or connect to existing RTSP H.264 cameras from one clean and simple app.

SERVER MODE

Turn your iPhone camera into a local-network RTSP H.264 stream.

Open the Server tab, start streaming, and use the displayed RTSP URL from another device or compatible RTSP client on the same reachable network.

This is useful for:
- Using your iPhone as a camera source in OBS Studio
- Local video experiments and RTSP testing
- Temporary monitoring setups
- Camera workflow testing
- Checking network video compatibility
- Streaming the iPhone camera to another device on the local network

CLIENT MODE

Save and watch RTSP camera streams directly on your iPhone.

Add your RTSP camera URL, save it, and open the stream whenever you need it. Lantern RTSP Cam is designed for compatible H.264 RTSP streams over TCP.

This is useful for:
- Viewing IP camera streams
- Testing RTSP camera URLs
- Monitoring local network cameras
- Checking H.264 RTSP compatibility
- Managing multiple saved camera entries
- Quickly reconnecting to known RTSP sources

FOR STREAMERS

Lantern RTSP Cam can be used as a local iPhone camera source for streaming workflows. Start the RTSP server on your iPhone and connect to the stream from compatible desktop software or devices on the same reachable network.

FOR IP CAMERA USERS

Save compatible RTSP H.264 camera URLs and watch them from your iPhone. This is useful for checking cameras, testing streams, and quickly opening frequently used camera sources.

FOR PROFESSIONAL AND TECHNICAL USE

Lantern RTSP Cam is also useful for network video testing, RTSP workflow checks, local camera experiments, H.264 stream verification, and troubleshooting camera setups.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Server streaming works only while the app is open and active in the foreground.

The app does not provide a cloud relay, remote access service, hosting service, or account system. RTSP connections depend on your local network, camera configuration, firewall, router, and stream compatibility.
