Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP)

Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) is a network protocol used to control live or on-demand streaming media, such as video or audio, over the internet. It functions like a remote control for streaming content, allowing users to start, pause, or stop media streams remotely. RTSP coordinates the delivery of data from a server to a client, enabling smooth playback and efficient management of media sessions. It’s commonly used by security cameras, live broadcasts, and media players to ensure synchronized, real-time access to multimedia content.
