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

49 Comments

1. 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!

2. THANKS
   A
   LOT

3. Cool stuff and surprisingly low latency. Do you know if it's possible to setup rpi as wifi router? It would be handy to connect to wifi created by device itself for monitoring. I'm planning to try rpi as quick setup remote camera as I'm mechanic and I have fequent need for second set of eyes to see something like plc cabinets, machines working etc. Low latency and semi good resolution is mandatory for my needs.

4. nicely explained

5. 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!

6. this video is way outdated and none of this works anymore. at least post a link to a fix or a solution to this problem.

7. Hi, can IP camera GiGe be used for this project? For example TDR054S-CC from lucid?

8. from picamera.array import PiRGBArray
   
   ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'picamera'

9. Hello @Ebenkouao,
   
   my camera doesn't react when I enter the command(raspistill -o Desktop/first_image.jpg
   
   ) it's giving me this message again. despite the fact that 2 months ago it worked. I use raspberri pi 4B 2 GB. camera module 3NoIR WIDE

   mmal: mmal_vc_component_enable: failed to enable component: ENOSPC
   
   mmal: camera component couldn't be enabled
   
   mmal: main: Failed to create camera component
   
   mmal: Failed to run camera app. Please check for firmware updates

   I've tested everything and the camera is in the right place on my raspberry.
   
   <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
   
   When I activate my camera in my settings, I get the following message:
   
   Legacy camera support is enabled. │
   
   │ │
   
   │ Please note that this functionality is deprecated and │
   
   │ will not be supported for future development.
   
   <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
   
   I've also tested with another camera, but I'm getting the same error.
   
   please
   
   What do you recommend I do?
   
   Thanks

10. Thanks sir… The autostart don't work…

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

12. how good in the connection? would it work in a drone?

13. Nice channel! 🙂 All the best during 2024 🙂

14. Do you have to be in the same house to view the footage

15. This github repo is no longer working. I tried for 2 days to install all the exact versions that were available as of this videos release and nothing worked. Great video, but deprecated. May want to add a placard at the beginning or remake the video.

16. I think I saw your package delivery bot in a pi magazine. Thanks for this video! What do you recommend regarding this error?: OSError: libmmal.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

17. Bro. I am not able to install the directories on latest Rpi OS. Tell me how to implement this using latest rpi os

18. Does it work with pi3 model B+ ?

19. ok i hope i dont ned opencv-python because it takes forever to load, cannot install it. I hope it works without this.

20. You could have made this MUCH shorter, without installing the OS etc.

21. can i watch the live stream with other IP Address and other place

22. is it easy to show this live footage on a screen connected to the pi instemde of trough the internet onto another device? If so how would I do that? Sorry if it sounds stupid but I’m pretty new to raspberry Pi

23. Hi! Thanks for the tutorial. However, may I know how should I set up the Raspbian OS if I have no old laptop or pc with me? I only have a daily working laptop with me. Can I use that to setup?

24. Any tutorial for multiple camareras for landscaping stream?

25. can i use a logitech camwera?

26. Mine still says legacy camera even though I updated

27. does this need to be plugged into a desktop when in use or no? also is it a good idea to use a portable power bank to power everything? also also does this require router admin access?

28. great vid. thanks

29. Does it work with an usb webcam?

30. Is it water resistant? I want to use it for something underwater

31. I wonder if I could plug a USB webcam instead.

32. Please i want to acess the live stream online not on the local network how should i do ?

33. any hint on how to make it to record the maximum resolution as long as it has space on the sd card or allocated storage space besides the streaming feature i need something bulletproof that records from the moment it gets power till i either manually stop runs out of space or get powered off.

34. It doesn’t work for the raspberry pi 2

35. you skip the live stream really fast 🙁

36. can i use a third party usb camera?

37. can you use an old disconnected phone camera?

38. What is the minimum requirements for the raspberry pi to the camera works

39. Rawzburry pi

40. thanks! How many clients can view camera feed at he same time?

41. Does it have to be connected to the same network of the monitor to watch the stream? Can I access this through a different network anywhere in the world?

42. Thanks

43. can i fix it using pi zero?

44. if you press CTRL SHIFT X in the raspberry pi OS installer not Etecher you can configure ssh and WIFI. You do not have to have a monitor/keyboard or HDMI

45. Libqtqui4 is unavailable

46. does it work with rasp 2b?

47. Thanks for the instructions. QUESTION: Can this project be used to stream to YouTube or other streaming services?

48. 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.

49. Yet again, no audio with the video. There are so many of these on YouTube and they are all the same. Video but no synced audio!
