Show the playground from the restaurant, the kitchen from the dining room, the entrance from the office. Enter the snapshot or MJPEG URL of your own camera (refreshed every 1–120 seconds) or an MP4/HLS stream URL, choose cover or contain, mirror it if needed, and add a LIVE badge with the time. Because it is your camera, there is nothing to license; remember to inform people who are filmed.

What it does

  • Snapshot / MJPEG URL with a refresh interval, or MP4 / HLS stream

  • LIVE badge with label and clock

Frequently asked questions

Does it work with RTSP cameras?

Not directly: browsers and TVs cannot play RTSP. Most cameras also offer a snapshot or MJPEG URL, or you can convert RTSP to HLS with a small tool on the network.

Is the feed private?

The camera URL is only sent to your own screens. Use a camera that is reachable by the screen (same network or a secure public URL).
