Hello This MSDN article about comparing HTTP Streaming Protocol with RTSP can be a good answer for your question. To learn more about connecting to IP cameras and streaming the camera image I recommend you to check out this ONVIF IP camera software that supports HTTP RTSP and even MJPEG live streaming as well.
