Integrate your security cameras
Many IP cameras can provide an RTSP stream inside a home network. Echo devices use their own discovery and stream-initialization interfaces. The two systems do not connect directly.
ViewBridge adds a small gateway that translates the camera's configured local path into the endpoint your Echo device can discover. It is meant to solve that specific integration problem without adding a general-purpose video relay, cloud storage or multiple vendor specific integrations.
Our security model
Keep secrets and media outside the cloud.
While similar services need you to upload camera credentials to the cloud, ViewBridge keeps them local. The cloud coordinates access; the gateway owns the camera connection and local media path.
