Security cameras

Is there any way to watch my security rtsp cameras on some softwares live tivimate, iptv smarters pro?
If not, can i somehow convert rtsp links to m3u and how?
And is there any software who i can set to open split screen 4 or 9 channels every time i open software?
Thanks

I use blue iris and have a six pack view as one of my channels with Channels DVR. Works great

@slampman, you have some instructions on how you did this? Thanks.

sure http://blueiris.pro/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2261

All cams are my 6 pack view
The Patrol channels will cycle through each camera for a few seconds. the way you get that functionality is with the "@" symbol

But blue iris is exprensive, i need free way.

@Stefi_333, you can use the RTSP code to connect to an RTSP compatible camera. I edited @slampman code for my RTSP camera string. You may need to Internet search what your camera string uses.

Channel 0.1 is for connecting directly RTSP Camera. Tested on an Amcrest I had in a box. Not sure about other RTSP cameras.

Just in case someone wants an M3U8 stream from BlueIris. RTSP is faster to display though.

Thanks, @slampman for the code. Really helped!

Considering the $70 price tag compared to a camera or other piece of networking gear it is very reasonable.

I've tried a few different solutions(free and paid) and end up going back to BlueIris. I have setup a few sites with BlueIris.

@Stefi_333 If you are looking for free, try IP Cam Viewer. The app has a web server you can see if it works in Channels. I have not used it in a while but recall it did group cameras together(Free version up to six I recall).
I've only used it on IOS and Android, but below is a forum post on how to set it up on a Desktop/Chrome

When you create the custom channel, change the source to TEXT and copy in the code in that box. Edit the code for the channel number and wording you want displayed in the channel guide.

This topic started with no relation to Channels, and its merit hasn't increased since. This is now done.
