Online cameras for parking lots and multi-story parking lots

Show visitors the visible occupancy and keep an eye on the key areas

A wide shot of the parking lot helps a visitor judge the situation outside a shopping center, office, hotel, airport or tourist attraction before setting off.

rtsp.me receives the stream from an existing IP camera and opens it in a browser or on your website, with no separate media server.

The picture before arrival

Live video shows where the entrance is and how full the parking rows visibly are. It adds an up-to-date visual reference to your directions map.

The player can go on the contacts page or the visitor information page. Reservations are handled by the website or the site's parking system; the camera only shows the current field of view.

Private streams help an operator watch several sites, entrances and parking lot levels.

Areas and use cases

A public stream is built around a wide shot, while working fields of view stay internal. That way a visitor gets useful information without your internal processes being revealed.

The field of view should show overall occupancy without turning public video into a means of recognizing people or number plates.

What rtsp.me gives you

The service combines publishing and oversight of parking lot streams.

Five steps to connect

Decide which fields of view are public and which are internal, check the RTSP stream and review the rules on siting cameras.

  1. Sign up at rtsp.me.
  2. Add the parking lot IP camera.
  3. Enter the RTSP link of the stream.
  4. Wait for the check and set up access.
  5. Get the link or the HTML code for your website.
Parking lot camera → RTSP → rtsp.me → website / staff

Viewers open the video in a modern browser, and the access mode is set per stream.

What the site and its customers gain

A public overview reduces uncertainty before a journey and shows the way to the entrance. That is useful for out-of-town sites and places with awkward access.

Private streams give staff access to several areas. For a chain of branches, cameras can be organized by site and by user.

Video does not promise a free space by the time you arrive, but it does give current context. Exact availability is provided by the site's own system.

Archive and monitoring

The cloud archive helps you go back to a chosen time and look at movement by the entrance or the overall situation within the field of view.

rtsp.me watches the stream and notifies you of a signal loss so that a member of staff can check the power, the network or the camera.

The retention period and the list of users are set according to the site's needs and the applicable requirements.

Privacy and safety

For a public stream, choose a wide field of view with no readable number plates, faces, terminals or screens. Cameras covering tills and back-office rooms stay private.

The owner is responsible for the lawfulness of siting the cameras, for informing visitors and for handling the recordings. The archive is made available only to authorized staff.

A camera does not count spaces, does not operate the barrier and does not guarantee that a space will be available. Those functions are performed by the site's parking system.

Frequently asked questions

Can a camera tell me exactly how many spaces are free?
A camera only lets you judge the visible occupancy. Exact counting and barrier control are handled by the site's parking system.
Can I connect the parking lot's existing cameras?
Yes. An IP camera with an available RTSP stream can be connected to rtsp.me without replacing the video surveillance system already in place.
How do I separate public and internal streams?
A wide shot can be opened to visitors, while cameras covering the entrance, the tills and service areas are limited with a password or an allowed domain.
Can I embed the parking lot view on the site's website?
Yes. The HTML player goes on the contacts or directions page. Reserving a space is handled by the website or the site's parking system.
What is an archive of parking lot cameras for?
The archive lets you review events within the field of view over a chosen period. The owner decides on access and the retention period, taking operational needs and requirements into account.
What happens when the signal is lost?
rtsp.me monitors camera availability and notifies you of a signal loss so that a member of staff can check the network, the power and the equipment.
