Use Raspberry Pi Camera from Python

In my second video about the Raspberry Pi Camera, I look at how to use the camera from Python. Includes how to take stills, record videos, and stream MJPEG to your web browser.

I just bought a Raspberry Pi 4 8GB. I look forward to all your Raspberry Pi 4 videos.

Thank you!! Your motion-JPEG code is much better than my initial attempt (was calling capture() over and over). This helps me understand how to get record() to write to a buffer and ship it off over HTTP as each frame is finished.

WOW, sweet and "simple", very clearly explained with multiple examples !!! Just what I need to get started.

[Ilikeridin]

That’s great. Just what I needed. Didn’t want to do it post precessing.

Could you please make some more video on how to use raspberry pi with Python?

[piiumlkj]

Another idea : how about using RTSP protocol and getting a live video ?

Excellent video, Sir.
Can you tell me how I can provide a video stream while saving the video to a certain file at regular intervals?

[fleanine]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Confirmed!
The Professor *IS* a TIME LORD!

Is it possible to hold the camera open for an extended period. Want to use it for astronomical imaging. Step 2 peltier cooling. Step 3 inside an evacuated chamber sub zero cold finger dual stage pelting cooling. I hope....

Awesome video, keep up the great work! :)

Thanks for the informative video. How can I do this with a desktop Raspberry Pi emulator and how can I connect it to my mobile camera.

[guillaumerousseau]

I just create a PR on your git hub to share an example of photo booth.

[ssgoh]

Thank you for this video. Absolutely clear.
