Raspberry Pi / OpenCV_USB_Web_camera_Streamer PreBuilt Image

May 29, 2022, 04:52:22 PM

Raspberry Pi 3 B+ image. OpenCV Usb camera ,just unrar and image SD card and boot PI then login or SSH in and run " python webstreaming.py --ip 127.0.0.1 --port 8000 " Change the IP address to match yours and the port. Then in a web browser point to the IP and port and enjoy. (Image login = pi PWD=46765319)

Raspberry Pi / Quick Raspberry Pi webcam for Webpage

April 28, 2022, 09:56:40 PM

1st - apt-get install python3-flask

In the /home/pi/Documents/camWebServer

To Install: Create directory "Documents" - "camWebServer" , "camWebServer" - "templates" , "camWebServer"- "static"
in the camWebServer folder put "camera_pi.py" and "appCam.py"
in the templates folder put "index.html"
in the static folder put "style.css"

Now, run the python script on the Terminal:

sudo python3 appCam.py

To make it auto start at boot Edit: /etc/rc.local Put sudo python3 /home/pi/Documents/camWebServer/appCam.py &

Go to any browser in your network and enter with https://YOUR_Raspberry_IP (for example, 192.168.1.137)

NOTE: If you are not sure about your Raspberry Pi Ip address, run on your terminal:

ifconfig
