Connecting your device(s) to Angelcam will require that you first ensure that it’s compatible. We currently require the following for both IP cameras and video recording equipment:

1. The device must use **RTSP** or **HTTP** streaming protocol.
2. The device must also have **H.264** or **MJPEG** encoding selections.

Many devices have multiple streaming protocol and encoding options. Because of this you will need to either review the provided or online-published equipment documentation or browse local configuration menus for the aforementioned settings.
