Show HN: Online RTSP camera simulator for testing AI vision or VMS

Illucam launched as an online RTSP camera simulator that generates virtual RTSP streams from user-uploaded MP4 files, letting developers test computer vision models, video analytics, and VMS integrations without physical IP cameras. The tool injects packet loss, latency, and stream interruptions to simulate real-world network conditions, and scales from single-camera projects to VMS deployments with hundreds of concurrent streams.
