go2rtc

go2rtc

go2rtc is a free and open source tool for camera streaming, compatible with protocols like RTSP, WebRTC, HomeKit, FFmpeg, and RTMP. The go2rtc component runs a go2rtc server inside the container and offers a WebRTC proxy for your cameras.

For additional details about go2rtc, visit the projects GitHub Repository

The go2rtc component provides the following features:

  • WebRTC or MSE: The component enables you to stream video using WebRTC or MSE (Media Source Extensions), allowing for high resolution, low-latency streaming with audio.
  • Camera proxy: The component can proxy camera streams, reducing the number of connections per camera.
info

Note that without the go2rtc component, the frontend Live page is limited to an MJPEG stream of the frames that Viseron is processing.

Configuration​

The configuration for the go2rtc component is done through the go2rtc key in the configuration file. This config is then passed to the go2rtc server.

For more information about the configuration options available for go2rtc, refer to the go2rtc documentation.

warning

It is important to note that the camera names under the streams key must match the camera identifiers used in the Viseron configuration.
