Raspberry Pi Forums

hello,

i want to use the raspberry pi camera module as an IP camera for my house. The raspberry pi b modell should be for that the server.

My vision is to stream the video to the local network via ethernet and also out in the internet via DSL. The problem is, that my internet upload bandwith is only about 0,40 Mbit/s and so I am not able to stream HD over the Internet.

So i have to transcode the stream or change the bitrate of the video for that case, but I also want to stream the video to my local network, but in that case in HD quality.

Is it possible to do that at the same time?

How should I configure the raspberry pi for a https authentification for the internet stream
Which app should I use for my Android phone, to receive this stream?

thank you

Hi

I am not an expert on Pi graphics, but I don't think you will be able to stream live from a camera in 2 different bit rates.

An upload limit of 0.4 Mb/s will allow a pre-transcoded video to be viewed over the internet, but the frame will be small and the resolution low.

I have taken HD videos with my Android phone. The bitrate was about 17 Mb/s. I transcoded that down to about 0.7 Mb/s. It was therefore viewable over my internet, which has an upload limit of 1 Mb/s. If the video bitrate exceeds the bandwidth, the video freezes.

You could probably set something up with two encoders fed from a splitter with different settings. But I think you will straight away hit encoder and memory bandwidth issues.
