Slim Camera is a lightweight RTSP viewer for IP cameras. On first launch, it prompts for the stream URL (saved for reuse) and runs in the system tray to keep your taskbar clean. Window position, size, and camera URL(s) are remembered via a single INI file.
The interface stays minimal - just the video stream in an auto-sizing window. Right-click the tray icon to change or switch cameras, restart the stream, reset the window, or exit. F1 changes the address, F5 cycles cameras, and F11 (or double-click the title bar) toggles full screen.
Optimized for low resource use, it runs reliably even on older hardware - ideal for background monitoring. Portable, single-file settings and a focus on core functionality make Slim Camera simple, no-fuss video streaming. Support its free, open-source development at https://boosty.to/slim-camera/donate to help keep it ad-free and growing!
