Nest RTSP Documentation

Configuration

Once you have installed Nest RTSP, you will need to perform some basic configuration options before you can access your camera streams. In order to do this, you must access the Web GUI. In most cases this is accessible from http://{hostname or ip}:3000 (e.g. http://nrtsp.mydomain.local:3000).

Authentication

When you log into the Web GUI, if Nest RTSP has not been previously authenticated or if it is unable to verify the previous authentication, you will be provided the following prompt to log into your Google Account.

Authentication Required

In order to use Nest RTSP, you must log in using the Google account associated with your Nest account.

Authorizing Access to Cameras

After you have authenticated with your Google account, you will have access to the list of cameras. If you have not yet opened the Partner Connections Manager to provide access to your cameras, you will see the following:
