Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) is a network control protocol designed for controlling streaming media servers. The protocol is used for establishing and controlling media sessions between end points.
RTSP transmits video/audio data by using RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol).

RTSP allows you to pull a live video stream from your camera and view it from different devices and programs.
