How to stream a Tiandy camera on a website

Prepare the camera

Find the camera local IP and RTSP port, usually TCP 554. Create a dedicated user with view permissions and a strong unique password. Do not use the administrator account and do not expose the full URL publicly.

Tiandy RTSP URLs

Main stream of channel 1

Sub stream of channel 1

The first number usually means channel number, the second means stream number. For channel 2, /2/1 and /2/2 are often used. On some series the URI differs; exact URLs can be retrieved via ONVIF.

Example and port mapping

In this example, external TCP port 10554 is forwarded to the camera local address on port 554. Replace all values with your own.

Detailed setup: "How to configure port mapping".

Connection through software agent

If the site has no public IP address or opening an RTSP port on the router is not possible, install the rtsp.me software agent on a computer or mini PC in the same local network as the camera.

The agent receives the local Tiandy RTSP stream and sends it to rtsp.me over an outbound connection. In this case, port mapping and an internet-exposed RTSP port are not required.

Windows, Linux, and ARM are supported. Setup and configuration are described in "IP camera streaming agent without static IP".

Add the camera on rtsp.me

1. Build the URL using your public IP and external port.
2. Validate it on rtsp.me.
3. Add the camera and get HTML player code.
4. Embed the stream on your website.
