Video Streamming

  1. Have raspbian installed and updated and make sure your camera is enabled (you enable this by running sudo raspi-config and choose Enable Camera)
    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
  2. Install vlc
    sudo apt-get install vlc
  3. Create a script to start the stream with the following content, or run the command (you can't do anything else if you just run the command).
    sudo nano myscript.sh
raspivid -o - -t 0 -hf -w 640 -h 360 -fps 25 | cvlc -vvv stream:///dev/stdin --sout '#rtp{sdp=rtsp://:8554}' :demux=h264
  4. Make the script runable
    sudo chmod +x myscript.sh
  5. If you want to start the stream automatically you have to add the script to crontab. To make this work I had to make another script runned by cron (OBS! VLC can't be run as sudo so make sure you're in the right cron). sudo nano myscript2.sh:
    #!/bin/bash
/path/to/myscript.sh
    Then:
    sudo chmod +x myscript2.sh
crontab -e
@reboot /path/to/myscript2.sh
  6. To watch the videostream, open VLC on a computer on the same network as the raspberry pi you are using for streaming. Press Media -> Open Networkstream and paste the following in the field:
    rtsp://[IP].[TO].[THE].[PI]:8554/
If you don't care about FPS (frames per second) and don't want any delay you could use MJPEG. You can read more about this HERE
Watch THIS wiki about Raspberry Pi Camera Module. Hope you find what you're looking for.

Modem Connection with raspberry py

Aim : Set up the  Raspberry Pi  as a wireless router using the Raspbian OS. The internet connection will be provided by a  Huawei E303  USB 3g dongle on the safaricom network in Kenya, though the setup should be similar on most Huawei dongles and 3g networks. The wireless access point will be provided by an  Edimax Nano USB Wifi adapter . Power Source -------->RPI ----> Powered USB HUB -----> 3g Dongle                                            |                                            |                                          Edimax                       ...
