One feed at full size, the rest of the line beneath
Drop the component into a Perspective view and size it however the screen needs — one stream front and centre for the cell that matters, the rest of the line along the bottom.
A Perspective component that streams your RTSP cameras straight into Ignition. Drop it on a view, pick your cameras, and your team gets a multi-camera grid they can click to expand — for security, custom views, or live floor context next to alarms and OEE. Free up to 3 feeds. Part of our Ignition module lineup.
RTSP cameras
Works with any IP camera that provides an RTSP stream, in H.264 or H.265 — repackaged, never re-encoded.
Perspective component
Drop it on a view, pick your cameras, done. Click any tile to expand.
Credentials stay server-side
Cameras are configured on the gateway and referenced by name, so credentials never reach the browser.
Built for many feeds
Roughly 100–200 feeds per gateway in our load testing. Real capacity depends on your cameras and hardware.
Automatic reconnect
Offline cameras reconnect on their own — no blank tiles to babysit.
One .modl, no extras
A signed module with everything built in. Nothing else to stand up, backed directly by Parsley Automation.

Try the full module free, up to 3 feeds, before you buy. Because the Free tier lets you verify compatibility on your own gateway first, paid licenses are final and non-refundable. The module is signed, so it loads on production gateways without developer mode. All paid tiers are per-gateway perpetual; optional version upgrades at 20% / year. Checkout is by card or US bank transfer, and we issue your module license against your gateway's Ignition license key within one business day. Need a PO, or buying more than one module? Request an invoice instead — Net 30, and we reply with a quote. Get in touch.
Important — please read before buying. RTSP for Ignition is provided as is, for monitoring and situational awareness only, at roughly 2–6 seconds of latency on HLS, or about a second on WebRTC. It is not a safety, security, alarm-of-record, life-safety, or real-time control system and must not be relied on as one — always keep independent monitoring, recording (NVR/VMS) and alarms. Performance depends on your cameras, network and gateway hardware. The Free tier (up to 3 feeds) lets you install RTSP for Ignition and verify compatibility with your own gateway and cameras at no cost before you buy. Purchases are subject to our License Agreement & Terms of Sale.
How licensing works
Buying is simple and the module runs on your own gateway:
- Free: install the
.modl, add cameras under Connections → RTSP Cameras (bulk paste works) — done, capped at 3 feeds. - Paid: check out and send us the Ignition license key from your gateway (Config → Licensing shows it). We issue the module license against that key, and you activate it the same way you activate Ignition itself — Config → Licensing → Update License. The feed cap lifts within seconds, with no gateway restart.
- Activation: online activation is a single click, and offline activation works too — fine for air-gapped plant networks.
- Per gateway: one license covers one Ignition gateway, perpetual. Integrator licenses cover multiple gateways for deploying across client sites.
Use cases
A few of the ways teams put RTSP for Ignition to work inside Perspective:
Security & CCTV viewing
Bring security cameras into Perspective so guards and managers watch entrances, yards and sensitive areas — no separate VMS client to log into.
Spin up custom views
Build a focused camera view for any person or role in minutes — a shift lead's line, a manager's whole plant, a contractor's single zone.
Alarm-driven camera pop-ups
Tie a feed to an alarm: when it trips, the relevant camera comes up on screen so the team sees what's happening on the floor, fast.
Cameras beside OEE & process data
Drop live feeds next to your tags and OEE so supervisors see the jam and the number move together — context, not guesswork.
Frequently asked questions
How is it licensed?
Per Ignition gateway, perpetual — buy once, no recurring fee. “Perpetual” refers to your license for the version you bought; it is not a guarantee of compatibility with future Ignition versions. Licensed as-is — verify on the Free tier. Optional version upgrades at 20%/yr.
What's the video latency?
Two delivery modes. HLS is the default, typically 2–6 seconds behind live. WebRTC drops that to under a second.
Does it record video?
No. RTSP for Ignition displays live streams only — it does not record, store, or retain footage. Point it at your existing cameras or NVR for viewing; keep your NVR/VMS for recording.
Can I start free and upgrade later?
Yes. Activate the license on the gateway at any time and the feed cap lifts immediately — no reinstall.
Are my cameras exposed to clients?
By design, cameras are configured server-side and referenced by name, so camera credentials aren't sent to Perspective clients and feeds proxy through the gateway web port you already expose. Your deployment's security also depends on how you configure and secure your gateway and network.
What cameras work?
RTSP — generic IP cameras and NVRs, plus UniFi Protect, referenced by name from the gateway. Both H.264 and H.265 (HEVC) stream, repackaged rather than re-encoded, so image quality and gateway CPU are unchanged. H.265 playback depends on the viewer’s browser and hardware — current Chrome, Edge and Firefox on Windows 11 all play it, older machines without a hardware HEVC decoder may not, and a tile that cannot decode a camera says so rather than looking offline. If you don’t control your viewers, H.264 plays everywhere.
How many cameras can it handle?
In our internal load testing, a single gateway handled roughly 100–200 concurrent feeds at low CPU, with a dozen-plus tiles per screen. Real capacity varies with resolution, codec, bitrate and hardware, so your results may differ — verify on the Free tier.
Which Ignition versions?
Ignition 8.1 and 8.3+, as two separate builds â pick the one that matches your gateway, since neither installs on the other. RTSP for Ignition is distributed as a signed module, so it installs on standard production gateways without developer mode. Signing and compatibility are controlled by Inductive Automation and may change between versions — verify on the Free tier first.
