Slim Camera is a lightweight RTSP viewer for IP cameras. On first launch, it prompts for the stream URL (saved for future sessions) and runs in the system tray to avoid taskbar clutter. It remembers window position, size, and camera URL via an INI file for seamless reuse.

The interface keeps distractions minimal - just the video stream in an auto-sizing window. Right-click the tray icon to change the camera URL, restart the stream, reset window position, or exit. Press F1 to quickly modify the RTSP address.

Optimized for low resource usage, it works reliably even on older hardware, making it perfect for background monitoring. With portable settings (single INI file) and focus on core functionality, Slim Camera delivers no-fuss video streaming for users who value simplicity.
