Install beside the camera
Run the edge agent on any Windows, Linux, or macOS machine that can reach the camera over the LAN. Camera credentials stay there.
One command · automatic updates
Video infrastructure for physical devices
Live video from cameras your network can’t reach.
Streamo turns RTSP cameras, drones, and robots into secure, on-demand streams and clips. One lightweight edge agent, one API, and no port forwarding.

How it works
A private route out, opened only when it’s needed.
The control plane coordinates access. The video itself moves directly from your edge to the media plane, never through Streamo’s API servers.
$ curl -fsSL streamo.in/install.sh | sh
Create a session
Your backend asks for a stream. Streamo provisions the media path and wakes the edge over its existing outbound HTTPS connection.
POST /v1/sessions
Embed the returned URL
Play signed HLS in your application, request a JPEG frame for an agent, or keep the recording as a clip with an explicit retention period.
Viewer leaves · stream stops
The product
One API across live and stored video.
Use only the pieces you need. Every endpoint is scoped to a project key, and every live session carries its own expiry.
Live sessions
Open an RTSP camera only while someone is watching. Return tokenized HLS for the browser, with automatic teardown when heartbeats stop.
POST /v1/sessionsPush ingest
Skip the edge entirely for drones, OBS, phones, or robots. Publish over RTMPS—or WHIP for sub-second WebRTC playback.
{ "ingest": "push" }Clips and recordings
Upload clips directly to S3-compatible storage or keep a live session recording. Retention belongs to each asset, not an account-wide policy.
POST /v1/assetsFrames for AI
Request the current frame as a JPEG. The included MCP server lets an agent find a camera, look once, and close the session when it is done.

Security model
The safest stream is the one that isn’t running.
Streamo is built around temporary access. Idle cameras stay private, live sessions are bounded, and stored video exists only when you explicitly keep it.
Media path
CameraEdge agentMedia planeViewer
The control plane coordinates this path. It is not in it.
Credentials stay local
RTSP URLs and passwords live on the edge machine. The cloud stores only the camera name and ID.
Sessions expire
A hard TTL and viewer heartbeats ensure a stream cannot run—or bill—indefinitely.
Granular revocation
Revoke a project API key or rotate one edge token without disturbing the rest of the fleet.
Playback is short-lived
Viewer tokens and signed playback URLs expire with the session that created them.
Built for the physical world
One video layer, across devices and industries.
Factories & warehouses
Open existing CCTV only for safety reviews, incident response, or operational tools.
Drones & robots
Push live video directly from an encoder, with WebRTC when operators need lower latency.
Fleet & field devices
Give every vehicle or remote device a consistent streaming and clip API.
Simple usage pricing
Pay for video that moves.
An idle camera costs nothing. Start on the free tier, then pay for viewer minutes and clips as your usage grows.

Questions
The practical details.
Does it work with existing CCTV?+
Yes. Anything that exposes an RTSP feed can be registered. The edge agent transcodes sources such as H.265 into a browser-compatible stream when needed.
How much latency should I expect?+
HLS is typically 5–15 seconds. Push-ingest sessions can use WHIP and WHEP for sub-second WebRTC playback. WebRTC from RTSP edge cameras is not shipped yet.
What does Streamo store?+
Camera names and IDs, session metadata, and only the clips or recordings you explicitly keep. RTSP credentials remain on your edge machine.
Can I run the media plane myself?+
Yes. A project can use self-hosted MediaMTX instead of Cloudflare Stream. You trade global CDN delivery, recordings, and signed URLs for flat infrastructure cost.
