Node-ffmpeg-stream is a Node.js library for converting RTSP streams to WebSocket streams, enabling multi-view surveillance camera display in web browsers. It wraps FFmpeg to transcode RTSP feeds into MPEG-TS chunks served via WebSocket, and includes built-in HTTP endpoints for stream management (list, add, remove). Version 1.1.0 is the current stable release; the project appears to have irregular updates and limited community adoption. It differentiates from alternatives like node-rtsp-stream by offering a more integrated API with Express.js support and screenshot capabilities.
