An IP camera that requires the customer to set-up and secure outside access themselves will not sell to end users. The market is just too small and anyone who has the skills to secure this stuff themselves doesn't have to rely on a consumer grade product.
- asdff 3y agoMe, I am a potential customer! I have the skills to set this stuff up but don't have the $$$$$ to go with a commercial grade solution. Something more in the raspberry pi paradigm of price to performance is exactly what I'm looking for in this space. Just give me a cheap camera and access to io.

- gnicholas 3y agoUnless I'm misreading, it's not available at this time: > RTSP was considered a beta feature and we are currently assessing the path forward as the firmware versions have aged quite a bit. We have removed the firmware files for these versions for now and we’ll update the pages when plans are finalized. Please note that firmware files take a while to work on and test so you may not see an update in the near future.

- mistrial9 3y agoyour certainty is not based on reality.. "pet rocks" sold millions; BetaMax failed; great movies went unwatched, where stupid schlock got paid. Markets are not predictable entirely at all.
- bootsmann 3y agoThis is an established market, we are looking at the the survivors. It's reasonable to assume that a product we come up with within 5 minutes has been tried and didn't make the cut.
