Use your iPhone as an RTSP camera source or watch IP camera streams.
Lantern RTSP Cam is an iPhone app for local RTSP workflows. Start an H.264 RTSP stream from the iPhone camera, connect from compatible tools such as OBS Studio, or save and watch compatible RTSP H.264 camera streams directly on your iPhone.
Turn the iPhone camera into a local-network RTSP H.264 source while the app is open in the foreground.
Save compatible RTSP camera URLs and watch H.264 streams from your iPhone.
Use the displayed RTSP URL with compatible desktop software or devices on the same reachable network.
RTSP server mode
Publish the iPhone camera as a local H.264 RTSP stream and open it from compatible RTSP clients.
RTSP client mode
Add, save, and reopen compatible RTSP H.264 camera streams from one clean iPhone interface.
OBS Studio workflows
Use the iPhone as a local camera source for streaming and recording workflows when your network supports it.
IP camera checks
Quickly test RTSP URLs, verify stream compatibility, and troubleshoot local camera setups.
Optional authentication
Use optional RTSP username and password settings for supported client and server scenarios.
Local-first design
No account and no cloud relay are required. Camera entries stay on the iPhone, and passwords are stored in Keychain.
