Any recomendations on an app for security camera viewing? (158436977.xyz)

Just looking for a simple app that can stream local rstp. I have been using VLC up to this point but im looking for something a little less glitchy. I'd also like the ability to view multiple streams at the same time.

EDIT: I realized after making this post that I forgot to mention I'm looking for an Android app specifically.

Dunno if you are interested in the DVR/NVR aspects (you don't need to enable recording) but I am a fan of ZoneMinder + zmNinja

tinyCam has worked well for me on Android with a few RTSP feeds from different types of cameras.

Yeah, I can second tinycam. It's very good, and let's you keep multiple streams available to switch between easily. Great for 3d printer monitoring too.

Should be able to do this with OBS. Just set up the scene with the cameras and don’t broadcast/record.

If you're just looking to view a stream, mpv on Android should be less glitchy than vlc.

I'll give it a look, thank you!
