How to Stream Video from Raspberry Pi Camera to Any PC - Using Python Sockets 

Hi Tim, nice Tutorial but awful latency even on that low resolution. Would be cool to see more solutions with better performance. Maybe with named Pipes, ffmpeg or gstreamer.

This video really helped me a lot. I like how you explain every single line of code. Thank you

Nice work on the video! Most people just show the canned code. I like how you showed the whole setup.

'wb' means write binary at 8:03

Thanks Tim, this works great. I like your approach to showing how to set things up. Very clear.

Really solved my problem. Best video on RU-vid for this.

Hey Tim, can you make more tutorials on Raspberry pi when you get the time.

from CJ Lowe. Also how about getting audio from the PiZeros? I have USB Mics I can use. Thanks again.

I want to stream a video from an RPi to a PC. But both are on different public IP addresses. When I put my public IP, I am getting: OSError: [WinError 10049] The requested address is not valid in its context How to solve this?

any way to add multiple cameras, increase the speed and quality and record the video on the receivers end

Worked first time! Thanks!!

just by removing the 2 print in the code it will result much faster

Thanks man really appreciate it, not many people share this type of tutorials.

Does this have to be under the same WiFi network? If so is it possible to set this up from another WiFi network?

Thank you very much for the video, I want to know if it works with USB webcam too instead of Rpi camera.

You know you can install multiple python packages in one command like "pip install pillow matplotlib" instead of 2 separate commands.

Thanks very helpful video 👍

THANK YOU SO MUCH. very well explained, worked well for me.

how to get the streaming video without lagging?

Hi tim,i want to live stream video with audio in raspberrypi using python code on a http server ,wil you please show the process and help me.Thanks

I've been trying for about two weeks to get this to work, with various connection errors - the latest one is the server shell displaying a message saying "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PIL" . So any clues or help on how I can fix this ? Many thanks

from CJ Lowe. Sorry one last note. I tried Webrtc on the Pizeros and did not on connecting on Shinobi

Hi! Any tutorial to have the Rpi 3 server save the recorded video to a file? Can it be done simultaneously during streaming? Since the pi 3 has four cores it possible to do this in multiprocessing mode (one core for receiving the stream and another for recording the video)? Thanks!

I'm new to programming, and I have an idea related to this. Is there any way that we can compress, then decompress the image to get a higher image quality quicker?

Very informative video, thank you very much

How to increase the video frame rate?

Thank you for sharing it really helped

can you do something like self driving vehicle with raspberry pi? great video btw

i need to record whole video while streaming ..can you help me with this

Hi ı have a question right now ı am trying to make a model satelitte. I have a mission to do that is live video streaming from model satelitte to pc that is located nearly 1 or 2 km away from model satelitte. Right now ı have a rasberry pi and camera module for it. My first question is if ı follow the path you showed ı can do my mission but do ı need any other additional element for it or all thing is related with software

Thanks for the video, could you please tell me if I can get this image and put it in a interface using PySimpleGUI?

You seem like a smart son. Yet again, no audio with the video. There are so many of these on RU-vid and they are all the same. Video but no synced audio! I'm sure you can do that.

can this be paired with TensorFlow? I am running object detection via a python code on an RPi 4 and am trying to transmit it to another platform

Thanks man!

Great videos. Questions? I'm using Shinobi as my NVR on a Pi4 (4GB). I have 4 Pizeros running Pi OS lite and a script that lets me stream it as RTSP. It's very laggy and the connections drops a lot. No real help on the internet. Can I use the Server code and setup on the Shinobi server (pi4) and use the Pizerow's (pi os lite) and replace the RTSP script with the python script you supplied? As I said I have 4 PiZerow with the Pi camera v1 (5MP). How would I go ahead setting up the connection to run the server to the clients? have 4 scripts that connect to the clients (static IP addresses) ? Once the connection is made can the Shinobi just allow me to put in the i.p. addresses and record that way? (I also have SSD for videos storage USB3 connected to the Pi4). Do you think I should have any issues? Or would you suggest another way to record? Another NVR? I want to keep the entire setup on Pi units. Or should I just try it my way? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Tim can you make a video on how to use raspberry pi in order to detect the temperature and humidity

which protocol is being used for the video transmission?

3:38 "...You're gonna go to the internet..." 🤔👌😂

helpful video. Thanks

But this is not video stream... All this does is sending images in x seconds interval.. If i am not mistaken..

Is there any prebuilt software for the pi cam? I just want to see previews and take pictures and record video. I need to be able to do this without needing to use the command line.

does it work for anybody on Linux? i dont get a connection error but also no image (no comand line output at all)

Tim, can you make RFID Attendance System using RPi4

i thought we can just turn the raspberry pi into a hotspot to broadcast signals in which any other raspberry pi or computer can just go to it's ip address to see this live feed from the raspberry pi running the usb cam on board ?

Sir, Can I do that without rasperry-pi? I want to use Amazon EC2 Instance(Ubuntu 20.04LTS), 1 built-in camera laptop(Ubuntu 20.04LTS), OpenCV & Python3. I need your answer. Btw, over network not in the same Wi-Fi.

It is showing a 404 error; the page doesn't exist. Can you give those codes in the description if possible? That will be greatly helpful to me.

What module to use for my camera if i am on a pc and not on a ras pi? Can you write the client for the pc version? pc send stream to another pc?

hai, i used the same code and change my Rpi's ip into it but it shows '[Errno 111] connection refused'. How to solve this problem yea? Really need to some help as I would like to apply it into my assignment.

this means we can live stream video to devices which are of not same network?

image does not verify. when i run code in sublime just more text comes up

it works only in local server, what about over the internet?

thanks.

I get this error: server.py", line 18, in image_len = struct.unpack('

nice men thats why i like you my bro.if i did know you i can sport you.nice video

Anyone has the code by chance?, I am not getting through with the link

This is all local though, right? Have you tried streaming that camera feed to another computer?

I have 3 mobile cameras Is there a way to use them like this

will this work with random usb cameras

How can we do it from raspberry pi to an android app we are building please help

Does it work on Rasperry pi Zero W

Sir, can you change this code to PC to PC instead of Raspberry Pi to PC?

No code at the url... :(

hi tm, how we can send the audio of the video

Bro what's coming up related to raspberry pi???

What protocol is this code using? UDP, TCP, HTTP?

Can't download the code. Shows error 404

so do i put python on the raspberry?? this video is not easy to follow

code link is dead

Hello Tim - Thanks for your video. I can get the connection working on my LAN connected to my local router, but when I try to get the connection working from a remote RPi trying to use a WAN IP address via an internet connection - I keep getting the "Winerror 10049 - IP address is not valid in this context". Can you confirm which IP address I'm suppose to enter in the Server Socket Bind address line on my home computer? is it the External IP address of my home computer, or is it the External WAN IP address of my remote RPI ? I've tried both and neither works. And Also please can you confirm that the server script sits on my home computer and the client script goes to the remote Rpi ? Many thanks in advance.

Code is not available. please reupload the code

#tim Please make project on self drive car Thanks

How To Get More FPS??

cannot import __imaging

No audio with streaming ? Seriously there are so many projects showing pi cameras streaming video but no audio. This is basically a no brainer in Windows! Is it an issue with Linux based systems????? Please! Any one have pi camera stream with audio?

What if my ip changes

BrokenPipe error 32. How to Fix?

No one can help with recording sound on the Raspberry pi on the video!!!!???????????????????

Hello, great video but I'm having an error when running the code on raspberry pi the error is Network is unreachable

let's make fpv hd link with minimum delay))

wanna doing a fpv plane

first

I recently made a similar project that supports multiple camera's, doesn't need 'picamera' and allows you to view the stream on a Django web-page. Check it out if you are interested. github.com/Ruud14/SecurityCamera Feel free to improve it :D. It is still a work in progress.

these frame rates are a joke
