Then we enable this on startup by $ sudo service livestream status Pid=`ps -A | grep mjpg_streamer | grep -v 'grep' | grep -v mjpg_streamer. usr/local/bin/mjpg_streamer -b -i 'input_uvc.so -f 15 -r 1920x1080' -o 'output_http.so -w /usr/local/share/mjpg-streamer/www'į_message 'Restarting daemon: mjpg_streamer'į_message 'Restarted daemon: mjpg_streamer' # Carry out specific functions when asked to by the system # Description: Streams /dev/video0 to # END INIT INFO # Short-Description: mjpg_streamer for webcam I think you could probably choose either 1920×1080 15fps or 1280×720 30fps routes and be okay. Someday I may dig in a bit more and find out where the bottleneck is. I’m not sure how I can tell if it’s overloaded there or not, but, once again, this is a light monitoring video stream, I don’t care too much about latency. The PI wasn’t maxed out on CPU, but it could just be the nature of USB 2.0 at this point. NO it’s not.Īt 1280×720, it seemed closer, but at 1920×1080, when set at 30fps, it definitely wasn’t even close. I’m using this to monitor 3D prints, or watch birds outside, so my use case does not demand low latency. So I wouldn’t use this with audio feeds unless I was planning on creating a sync delay. That worked, and I get about a 1-2 second delay from Pi to VLC. I then loaded my own stream up in VLC by opening the direct network path to the stream:

o 'output_http.so -w /usr/local/share/mjpg-streamer/www' I wanted to run my camera at its intended resolution and at least a frame rate of 30fps. After this point, I could delete the build files I downloaded. You can now hit CTRL-C in your SSH window (or terminal) and quit the stream. Validating the stream worked (by clicking ‘Stream’) and turning around, I could see myself moving: Hello you… come here often? Not only do we see the web interface, but a snapshot of the web cam, which was, clearly, laying down on a workbench behind me while I tried this out. I’ll change those later, but for a quick test I head on out to my browser and point it at the www server at I always feel like… somebody’s watching me… Our key variables to tweak are -f for frame rate, and -r for resolution.
