Basic streaming questions

Mon Jul 28, 2014 4:28 pm

Hello,

Just getting started with the Rasberry Pi, first post.

I have my RPi up and running and taking pictures with the utility programs. Now I want to get started on a project that streams images of the highest quality possible from the RPi to another computer. I don't need a high fps, something as low as 2 fps would be fine because the program on the other end of the stream won't be able to process them any faster than that. I also would like it to happen as close to real time as possible.

Looking for some guidance on how to proceed. My background in programming is mostly using Java but I'm flexible in that regard.

What program(s) should I use? I see a lot of suggestions here using different things.

Will I need to write the video or image frames to the SD card and then stream, or can I avoid that and stream the data from the camera directly over the network?

Mjpg streamer allows you to stream video over your local network and you can configure the resolution and fps.
There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary and those who don't.
