Watch cameras live
Pull RTSP streams from IP cameras and NVRs into VLC, your NVR app or VMS, using RTSP over TCP.
The remote-management utility for sites on 4G and 5G. Open device consoles and watch live RTSP camera streams from anywhere, with no public IP, no port forwarding and every connection encrypted. Owl plans, installs and supports it with you.
What it does
Most sites on 4G or 5G have no public IP, so normal remote access does not work. OwlAnywhere makes the equipment behind the mobile router reachable, safely.
Pull RTSP streams from IP cameras and NVRs into VLC, your NVR app or VMS, using RTSP over TCP.
Open the web console of an NVR, router, controller or PLC, or SSH into a server, as if you were on site.
Restart services, change settings and check logs remotely instead of sending someone out.
Email, Slack or Teams alerts when a site goes offline and again when it is back, on Intermediate and above.
Set up in three steps: 1. Plug it into the site's network. 2. It pairs itself with the relay and pins its identity. 3. Add the camera or device you want to reach, then Save & Apply.
Each tunnel is one device port, for example one camera's RTSP stream or one NVR web console. Plans include 5, 20, 100 or unlimited tunnels. Running cameras on 4G?

Engineering inside
Whether remote access still works at 3 a.m. comes down to how it is built. Every plan includes all of this.
Built for Singapore sites
No fixed public IP needed at any site.
No public IP needed. It only dials out, so mobile routers and carrier-grade NAT don't get in the way.
Mall units, co-working spaces and landlord-managed buildings: no ports to open, and the relay port can change if 22 is blocked.
Rules, keys and history live on the device, not a vendor cloud. Use Owl's relay or your own Singapore server.

Prices in Singapore dollars. Upgrade whenever you need to: your rules and settings carry over, and your tunnels keep running.

Before you buy
Yes. Add a rule for the camera's or NVR's RTSP port (usually 554) and open the stream in VLC, your NVR app or VMS using RTSP over TCP, which most cameras and players support. The stream travels inside the encrypted tunnel. RTSP over UDP is not carried.
The tunnel itself uses very little. Video uses whatever the stream sends: roughly 0.9 to 1.8 GB per hour for a 1080p stream at 2 to 4 Mbps, and far less on a camera's sub-stream. The site's mobile upload speed sets how many streams you can watch at once. See the data guide.
No inbound rules at all. The device makes one outbound SSH connection to the relay, on port 22 by default or another port if your network blocks 22.
Each rule links a port on the relay to a machine and port on the site's network. Sign in to the relay over SSH, connect to that port, and you're talking to the machine: its shell, web page or management port.
The tunnel starts at boot and reconnects by itself, retrying 10 seconds after any drop. On Intermediate and above you get an email when it goes down and again when it's back.
On Advanced and Enterprise the device checks the primary relay every minute. After three failed checks it moves to your backup relay, and it moves back after five healthy checks.
Yes. Demonstrations and pilots are arranged according to the project. Talk to Owl to plan one around your site, connectivity and equipment.
