TheRelay Documentation
Overview
Stop fighting with firewalls and NAT. Access your RTSP streams from anywhere with reliable cloud endpoints. TheRelay uses a small on-prem agent to publish your camera feeds to the cloud so you can view or integrate them via standard protocols without opening inbound ports or changing firewalls.
Key Idea
A single outbound, encrypted connection from your LAN to TheRelay Cloud—no VPNs, port forwarding, or firewall edits.
Highlights
- Publish once from the LAN; consume anywhere.
- Standard protocols: WebRTC, RTSP, SRT, HLS, RTMP.
- Camera credentials remain on-prem with the Agent.
- Fine-grained, token-based access control (camera or host scope).
