# TCP Camera Stream for Raspberry Pi
The video stream here is easy to implement and came in at about 240ms of latency over wifi and 180ms with a direct hostpot hosted on the raspberry pi. This repository is one in several aimed at testing the different options for [streaming video from a raspberry pi](https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/camera_software.html#tcp) with raspberry pi camera module V3.
Using the same raspberry pi source for testing UDP resulted in latency between 120ms, but it had the tendency to aggregate a buffer even with no buffer flags.
## Software Dependencies
This code uses the following libraries:
- `libcamera`
- `rpicam-apps`
## Hardware Dependencies
Mipi camera interface
## Usage
1. Have a raspberry pi with rpi camera plugged in, powered up.
2. Update and upgrade the rpi. Then run
```
sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt
```
and add the line
```
start_x=1
```
3. Add your user to the camera group and then reboot
```
sudo usermod -aG video lesko
sudo reboot
```
4.Then check if the camera is detected.
```
vcgencmd get_camera
```
5. Clone this repository to your server device and client device
6. Make sure the scripts are executable by running these commands on both devices
```
chmod +x camera_server.sh
chmod +x receive.sh
```
7. run the bash script on your camera server device
```
./camera_server.sh
```
The IP will be printed after running
If there is a process on port 8000 already you can kill it with
```
sudo kill -9 $(sudo lsof -t -i :8000)
```
8. run the client script on your recieving device and pass in the IP printed from the server.
```
./receive.sh IP
```
This will start the video stream transmission
## About
This code is written for use with the bash (bourne again shell) language for use with a linux camera server running libcamera and rpicam-apps and a client that has ffmpeg installed.
