Video Streaming Quality Tools

Professional-grade tools built from two decades of video streaming experience. Measure what matters: packet loss, jitter, cache performance, CDN behavior. These are the same tools our engineering team uses to diagnose streaming issues across thousands of cameras.

WINK RTSP Stats

v1.1.0 - February 2026

Protocol-level RTSP/RTP stream analyzer that measures quality without decoding video. Connect to any IP camera or media server to diagnose network-level issues affecting video quality. Designed for pre-deployment validation, continuous monitoring, and automated CI/CD quality gates.

  • Packet Loss Detection - RTP sequence gap analysis with severity classification
  • Jitter Measurement - RFC 3550 compliant inter-arrival time variance calculation
  • Clock Drift Analysis - Identifies cameras with unstable RTP timestamps
  • Stream Fingerprinting - Codec, profile, resolution, and transport identification
  • Quality Gates - Threshold-based exit codes for CI/CD pipeline integration

WINK HLS Stats

v1.0.0 - February 2026

HLS stream analyzer that goes beyond metrics to provide actionable recommendations. Measures HTTP-level delivery quality and identifies specific configuration issues affecting playback. Particularly useful for CDN troubleshooting, cache optimization, and ABR ladder validation.

  • Cache Performance - HIT/MISS tracking with configuration recommendations
  • Throughput Analysis - P50/P95 measurements that reveal worst-case performance
  • Keyframe Alignment - Detects segments that cause slow channel switching
  • CDN Detection - Identifies provider, edge location, and caching behavior
  • ABR Simulation - Risk assessment for variant selection based on actual throughput

Complete Streaming Visibility

RTSP Stats analyzes ingest quality from cameras. HLS Stats analyzes delivery quality to viewers. RTP Dump provides deep packet-level analysis with jitter buffering. Together they provide end-to-end visibility into your streaming infrastructure.

All These Features Built Into WINK Forge

These CLI tools are great for quick diagnostics. For production deployments, WINK Forge and Media Router include all this functionality with a web UI, real-time dashboards, transcoding, and multi-protocol broadcasting.

WINK RTP Dump

v1.0.0 - June 2023

Modern RTP/RTCP analysis toolkit inspired by Columbia University's rtptools, rebuilt from the ground up in Go. Features industrial-strength jitter buffering that fixes streams with 5%+ packet reordering. Pipe to ffmpeg, relay with reordering, record to PCAPNG.

  • Jitter Buffer - Per-SSRC packet reordering with configurable latency (50-1000ms)
  • Multi-SSRC Tracking - Independent stats for each synchronization source
  • 6 Commands - inspect, pipe, record, replay, relay, sdp
  • RFC 8285 Extensions - Parse abs-send-time, transport-cc, audio-level, mid, rid
  • CI/CD Integration - Threshold-based exit codes for automated validation

WINK LAN Camera Finder

v1.1.0 - February 2026

The most comprehensive network camera discovery tool available. Uses six discovery protocols to find every camera on your network - IP cameras, NVRs, DVRs, and video encoders - regardless of manufacturer. Smart confidence scoring eliminates false positives.

  • 6 Discovery Protocols - ONVIF, UPnP/SSDP, mDNS, RTSP, SNMP, HTTP fingerprinting
  • Smart Confidence Scoring - Filters servers and printers, surfaces real cameras
  • Device Type Classification - Camera, NVR/DVR, Server, Network Device, IoT
  • 90+ Port Deep Scan - Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, XMEye manufacturer ports
  • 75,000+ MAC Vendors - Instant manufacturer identification from OUI database
