[Tutorial] Easiest Way to Play RTSP Streams on HTML5 Webpage Without Plugin

The most-used way of achieving RTSP HTML5 playback is to embed VLC into the HTML5 webpage and adopt it as an HTML5 RTSP player, but that involves a complex process as well as HTML5 code so I wouldn't suggest you do that. On the other hand, the fact that it's really hard to find a proper HTML5 RTSP player aside, it's sophisticated to configure it as well.

The method I'm providing here is to transcode RTSP to HTTP so that HTML5 will play it correctly, and it only takes one third party tool: The open-source VLC Media Player. Have a try on your own and see if it works for you.
