Our police department has access to live feeds from traffic cameras around town. We would like to embed these live feeds into Experience Builder or other apps. The feeds are RTSP. So far I have investigated the Embed widget in ExB and the ArcGIS Excalibur app. Has anyone gotten ArcGIS Online apps to display live traffic cam feeds? What apps are you using and how were you able to accomplish the task?
Thanks!

I’ve only ever worked with RTSP locally, not getting it into another web page.
Are any of the feed URLs public? I’d be interested in playing around with it to see how it could work.
All our feeds are secure. But, contact me privately and we’ll see what’s possible to get allow temporary access to our feeds.

I’d be interested in what you discover as well. I know my emergency management director would be interested in adding live cameras to his dashboard and I haven’t had much luck either.
So far, it seems like RTSP is a no-go without some kind of middleman to get it into something like WebRTC. I played around with this project on Docker, didn’t seem too difficult to run locally. But getting its outputs accessible over the web, we’re talking some kind of networking layer, nginx or something.
I’m admittedly way out of my depth here. Any chance the cameras can output other formats? Browsing around, some other live cams out there just load up a JPEG of the latest frame, super easy to embed elsewhere.
