Real-time streaming is a great way to interact with our environment. Such as a CCTV camera. But what is the technology behind it?
What if we could do exactly that with a Raspberry Pi - by streaming the Pi Camera’s live feed to any client devices. And even touch on real world applications.
In this tutorial, we’re going to cover this. We're building a live camera streaming from a Raspberry Pi to your phone (or any internet-connected device). If you recently got a Raspberry Pi and want to work on a new project, this project may be a good one to start on.
Full tutorial writeup: coming later today to Makezine.com!

[@EbenKouao]

This was a fun build. The applications you could make from a live streaming camera is what's interesting: - Portable Body camera - Smart CCTV Camera, etc Stay tuned for the next build!

This is too easy to follow. It makes too much sense. Been looking for this for a while.

[@gsagar2614]

amazing....

[@someoneunknown2920]

I use it to monitor my 3d printer in the basement so I don't have to go down every 5min. to check on it

[@anant115]

Portable body camera is only possible if you have the same wifi all over your city

How to make noir camer work like an normal camera in daylight

[@jimoberhofer4108]

Hi Eben, just watched it, just ordered the pi cam, and can’t wait to build it! Nice walkthrough of the steps. Keep up the good work!

[@TB-sp9jy]

Beautiful instructions. I had gotten as far as being able to display demo video, but Eben knocked it out of the park to complete the picture!

[@steveunderwood5302]

Very good video. Helped me finally get the camera stream working. Thanks!

[@joebailey547]

This is an amazing video thank you so much for explaining it all so well! :)

[@yokjittworawongse6787]

Good project. Thank you.

[@WvyyFPS]

cool video Eben, thanks!

[@matthcw8745]

Very useful, thanks!

[@Ayiamus7]

Nice explanation I appreciate ur contribution sir😀

[@CAgrampa1999]

You really help me out I am a newbie at all this I would recommend for people like myself that you slow down between instructions would help me to follow I want to again thank you for taking the time to make this video for people like me you need to help

[@sibujacob977]

just set the play delay to 0.5 and your information will be best :))

[@codelaborative7127]

this was really great thank you very much

[@swtpeteswtpete1515]

Great video, very talented

[@waynelin9247]

is it possible to take still shot with manual exposure setting during the streaming? It would be very useful if it can serve as a remote controllable camera on the optical bench!

[@ML.ArtificialIntelligence]

Hi thank you for the tutorial can we access it from other internet connections too because when I tried to stream through a different internet connections it didn't work

[@HeoWeo]

This is so simple to follow. Thank you very much! I want to make a baby monitor, how should i go about adding audio?

[@shangss]

hi there, you mentioned that there's latency depending on internet connection, but if you're connecting the devices lan cables, would there still be lag?

[@Skookumshroom]

Good work! 🙂

[@devoid42]

Great video, thanks. This answers a lot of questions I had. I had a related project a while back when I was accessing usb cams via a Rpi

[@Ilovetech1233]

same

[@roul3688]

I really want to thank you for this tutorial. I did have to move my application start command to a service program so it would start after the network was established, but other than that, excellent! I learned a lot of things I didn't know.

[@dannyaustin-lz6jc]

great vid. thanks

[@louisewardmorris4309]

Thank you for this video! Do you know why the command sudo pip3 install opencv-contrib-python would be ignored on my pi4? I get an error message saying no--user but I have pyton3.7 installed. I'm new to this so any help is much appreciated.

[@peshalidesilva4608]

nicely explained

[@sibujacob977]

Hi, I Would like to know if i hook the HDMI output of this Ra PI to a telemetry system to relay wireless video over 4 km distance . In this case please confirm whether this video is compressed as .H264 or .H265 or do i need to use any other software for this to be achieved .

[@spinningstatics]

Awesome video!

[@EbenKouao]

Cheers Dan-Samuel!

[@sungjong00]

thank you so much!!

[@sen892]

Thanks a ton for this! I'm gonna buy the 12 MP camera module with a 16mm lens and livestream the squirrel & birdfeeders in my yard lol

[@danielarfsten9892]

Thank you for creating this tutorial vid and it's accompanying text tutorial!!! I am curious however if you have any inclination to produce a tutorial for securing the remote flask stream if i was to share it externally of my network so I can view it while I am at work etc. Or are you aware that no intruder can do anything if they were to find my stream online?

[@PauldelRosario]

This tutorial was really interesting. Thanks for making it. Would you happen to know how to attach a webcam have the video signal output to HDMI? Essentially, there's this specific webcam I'd like to use called the OSBOT Tiny, and connect it to my Atem Mini which only accepts HDMI cameras. Someone suggested Raspberry Pi, but I have zero clue about this. Any feedback welcome. Perhaps even a tutorial ! lol. Cheers.

[@zuhriri]

Hi! I'm planning to try using Raspberry Pi for the first time. I have two questions, can I achieve the same results using Raspberry Pi 3 and what is the RAM of the Raspberry Pi 4 used in this video? Thank you!

[@prathameshyadav1882]

Helpful. :)

[@keithspears4643]

Thanks for the instructions. QUESTION: Can this project be used to stream to KZbin or other streaming services?

[@RIPlly]

Hey!. I am on a project doing a car alarm system with motion detection activated cameras. Not sure how it will work out to be viewed remotely on a phone. Your video helped me understand how it would work. Thanks for sharing!

[@MuhammadDaudkhanTV100]

Fantastical

[@trishathenkhechee326]

Hi! Thanks for the tutorial. However, may I know how should I set up the Raspbian OS if I have no old laptop or pc with me? I only have a daily working laptop with me. Can I use that to setup?

[@mrhyde2937]

Can you output the local camera feed to an Ngrok server or apache? I like the build but would want it for a live feed over the internet? If you can't then buying a $30 IPcamera with 1080p and up to 128gb micro sd seems like a better option

[@mahlonkarpaiya252]

can i get 2 video outs from a pi zero. Im aking a web cam but need a view finder. Could i do this with usb and hdmi or usb and spi

[@hanheumcho8389]

The stream is actually more great than I thought

[@Igor_servant_of_Philemon]

Okay this is great. Now I only have to find a way to make this work via mobile data. My garden is about 3 miles from my home and I need this for my shed.

[@jimster1111]

how can i add temperature and humidity readouts on the URL video feed. im specifically using a bme 280

[@flopro7332]

What distance this set up transmits to the phone and do I need internet connection?

[@raghunandan2429]

Great content man... Thank you..

[@Acampandoconfrikis]

THANKS A LOT

[@nicsedlazek5664]

Can you connect the device to the pi without a network? Like if both the camera and device were in a car

[@awesomeisi92]

Does it have to be connected to the same network of the monitor to watch the stream? Can I access this through a different network anywhere in the world?

[@cjlowe1650]

If I use the Pi Zero W can I install it on the Pi OS Lite version?

[@johndoe5949]

does this need to be plugged into a desktop when in use or no? also is it a good idea to use a portable power bank to power everything? also also does this require router admin access?

[@billloveless6869]

Are you selling the mount for the camera? Thanks for the video

[@MarijnJonkers]

is it easy to show this live footage on a screen connected to the pi instemde of trough the internet onto another device? If so how would I do that? Sorry if it sounds stupid but I’m pretty new to raspberry Pi

[@darkdindon3376]

Thanks

[@Techfacts_Vinod_Telugu]

Hi, we have created a camera pi project Images are uploading azure storage account well with one of our wifi and not uploading with other wifi or mobile hotspot what would be the problem.

[@glas6488]

Hi, congratulations on the tutorial, very helpful indeed. I have implemented the project with a Raspberry 4 and it works very well. I used a 5 Mpixel camera and I wanted to ask you if there is a possibility to change the quality of the acquisition and the number of frames per second. Thank you very much. Ugo.

[@ashtarapur300]

Is there a transmission delay you are getting or its a real time feed

[@sye7969]

No pi camera option available Rather I1 legacy camera is ,but last time when I enabled it ,I had to install OS again ,SD card got corrupted .Any help?

[@nathanjp2389]

Hi, nice video. Similarly, Can you please help let know how to stream live video from RPi directly to a Phone through Wi-Fi Direct or Auto Hotspot, with Wi-Fi Network or Internet or Router.

thanks! How many clients can view camera feed at he same time?

[@Labib_1453]

can we use 1 raspi for more than 1 camera.. maybe 4 or 5 camera?? 🤔

[@cdogg1787]

where did you buy the case and camera stand?

[@isactucker3788]

if you press CTRL SHIFT X in the raspberry pi OS installer not Etecher you can configure ssh and WIFI. You do not have to have a monitor/keyboard or HDMI

[@emilsaji1762]

When we try one command its sayin to verify the camera And in our interface option theres no option for camera only a optiok for legacy camera

[@redknight8832]

Is it possible to live stream off of data or wifi if so how?

[@cjlowe1650]

This is good. I've seem many of these but does anyone have one that also has sound sent (recorded) with it!!!!!???????????

[@olleolsson9198]

Do you have to use vnc for this?

[@innervateconference2252]

Hey do you have a cad design for the camera case ?

[@Phillbato]

What kind of latency are you getting with this method? I'm currently streaming out with the raspivid command on one pi and picking it up with VLC on another pi and getting about 2 seconds delay from camera to display, which doesn't work well for FPV applications.

[@tecclaudioperez]

Minimun latency, it uses multi threads

[@merlin_redstone]

Dus it trensmit audio too? and how can i strem tu my rtmp server aka my pc at home wen im striming irl

[@ghassengharbi4940]

hi is this stream is local? or i can deliver it to an app ?

[@Codemaster24100]

Very good project sir. Can I pull this same project with 2 GB RAM Pi board?

[@HoiPolloi]

Is it possible to view the stream over the web? For example, if say, I wanted to monitor my house from work.

[@ShyneflowLC]

Can this be done with no internet ? My use case is baby monitor for in my truck. So I can just look at a small screen in front of me instead of looking back at a mirror

[@TinyBeeetle]

what hardware and softwares are required for this project

[@newtechai4367]

Please i want to acess the live stream online not on the local network how should i do ?

[@JackyTran]

Is there a way to do this without internet? I’m looking to do this in my archery range, which is remote and doesn’t have wifi

[@umae.s7147]

If the monitor or mobile we can see the image will it on automatically

[@j0shtbb]

Could I build this, leave it somewhere else on a wifi hot spot and access the feed from home? I’m trying to figure out a way to monitor a property two hours away with snow season coming up. Thanks for sharing.

[@gajapathichintu1614]

I have the same use case. Should the client and raspberry pi be on the same internet connection? can we just remote login to it ?

[@limegreentechnologies8803]

Hey, i have a problem, i done all the steps and it kinda works. Just whenever i try viewing from another device it gives errors like website not found Works great on rpi, anything else it doesn't

[@jaryniespeneli3074]

is this code also works for webcams ? or just raspi camera only ?

[@wpd3004]

I got all the way to the end...however, lost you on how to connect to from another device. Can you help?

[@RicardoSanchez-ud7cg]

Any tutorial for multiple camareras for landscaping stream?

[@Techfacts_Vinod_Telugu]

hi I have connected a pi camera to store the images to storage account it is storing perfectly with one of my wifi and it is not storing with other wifi or mobile hotspot what would be the problem Please try to help.application and azure storage account I don't have problem. the problem is with raspberry Pi.

[@georgeslut]

any hint on how to make it to record the maximum resolution as long as it has space on the sd card or allocated storage space besides the streaming feature i need something bulletproof that records from the moment it gets power till i either manually stop runs out of space or get powered off.

[@harrisonlou1935]

Could the stream be uploaded to global network so that i can access it even tho not using my raspberry pi?

[@LifeofAedan]

yes, port forwarding trough your router. Lookup a guide on how to do this because you can become vulnerable to attacks.

[@ianhayden2839]

Do you have to be in the same house to view the footage

This work's with raspberry pi zero w? and if so, there's a way to use some sensors and actuators to manipulate the environment around? Like, I was thinking in controling the doors after I see who is in my doors house.

Hi, haven't tested with the Pi Zero, but should theoretically work :) Nice idea, you can even build on it and create a rotating CCTV camera with the actuators and IR sensors.
