How To Make A Remote Viewable Camera With Raspberry Pi (Beginner Project)

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.

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!

Welcome Eben to the channel! What kinds of tutorials would you like to see him tackle next?

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

[GeekAtWork]

thank you very much, and you have a very relaxed voice to listen at.

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!

[steveunderwood]

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

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!

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

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?

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.

Hi, amazing work!

Does it work with audio perchance?

[sye]

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?

[miguelposada]

Amazing!! Could it work with a USB cam too?

[crocmcfly]

Hey on the library dependencies when I copy the command sudo apt-get install libqtgui4 its not working for some reason on suggestions ?

[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.

[Hyutsume]

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.

[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

[MasterTravertin]

Hi, Can I make it with Raspberry Pi Zero 2W, its RAM is 512 GB

[louisewardmorris]

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.

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
