RTSP has been the de facto protocol for IP cameras for over two decades. Almost every CCTV, IP camera, and network video device on the market speaks RTSP natively. It works well on dedicated NVR appliances and desktop clients. But the moment you try to bring those streams into a modern web or mobile dashboard, the cracks start to show.

In this blog series, we’ll explore how OvenMediaEngine enables faster, more stable streaming experiences. Many of you have asked about the core egress protocols that make this possible, so we’ll be diving into WebRTC, Low Latency HLS (LL-HLS), and Legacy HLS. Whether you’re curious about sub-second latency or optimizing streaming for large audiences, this series will provide the insights you’re looking for.

If you want to use streaming with a latency of less than 3 seconds but don’t have separate software or hardware to transmit your media source to OvenStudio LLHLS (now OvenMediaEngine Enterprise on AWS), don’t worry. It comes with OvenLiveKit, which allows you to transmit streams through WebRTC directly from a web browser, without the need for additional software or plugins.

We are working OvenMediaEngine (OME), an open-source project that streams by a latency of less than 1 second and is available using WebRTC protocol. Furthermore, in the OME project, we intend to develop and introduce a P2P Delivery function that can save system resources and budget during streaming.

Today, we will explain Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) as one of the protocols to achieve and implement Sub-Second Latency Streaming.
