Streaming

Camera Streamer exposes a number of streaming capabilities.

HTTP web server

All streams are exposed over very simple HTTP server, providing different streams for different purposes:

• http://<ip>:8080/ - index page
• http://<ip>:8080/snapshot - provide JPEG snapshot (works well everywhere)
• http://<ip>:8080/stream - provide MJPEG stream (works well everywhere)
• http://<ip>:8080/video - provide automated video.mp4 or video.hls stream depending on browser used
• http://<ip>:8080/video.mp4 or http://<ip>:8080/video.mkv - provide remuxed mkv or mp4 stream (uses ffmpeg to remux, works as of now only in Desktop Chrome and Safari)
• http://<ip>:8080/webrtc - provide WebRTC feed

WebRTC support

The WebRTC is accessible via http://<ip>:8080/webrtc by default and is available when there's H264 output generated.

WebRTC support is implemented using awesome libdatachannel library.

The support will be compiled by default when doing make.

RTSP server

The camera-streamer implements RTSP server via live555. Enable it with:

• adding --rtsp-port: will enable RTSP server on 8554
• adding --rtsp-port=1111: will enable RTSP server on custom port

The camera-streamer will expose single video stream:

• rtsp://<ip>:8554/stream.h264 - the resolution is configured with --camera-video.height
