Hardware:
OSOYOO Web Camera Module for Raspberry Pi
Pi Board: Raspberry Pi 4 (with CSI cable) or Pi 5
Software Installation:
Preinstalled OS: Raspberry Pi Bookworm or Raspberry Pi Bulleye
1)Install utream server
If you are using Bookworm OS, Please run following commands:
sudo apt install libevent-dev libbsd-dev libcamera-v4l2
sudo apt-get install libcairo2-dev libjpeg62-turbo-dev libpango1.0-dev libgif-dev build-essential g++
wget https://osoyoo.com/driver/v5car/ustreamer.tar.gz
wget https://osoyoo.com/driver/v5car/utbegin.sh
tar -zxvf ustreamer.tar.gz
cd ustreamer
make
If you feel above commands are too complicated, don’t worry, we have put these commands into a shell script file, you can simply run following commands to install ustream
wget https://osoyoo.com/driver/v5car/ut-bookworm.sh
bash ut-bookworm.sh
If you are using Bulleye OS, please run following command:
wget https://osoyoo.com/driver/v5car/ut-bulleye.sh
bash ut-bulleye.sh
2)Start the server
To start the webcam server, please run following command:
libcamerify ./ustreamer --host 0.0.0.0 --port=8899 --device=/dev/video0 -m yuyv --encoder=m2m-video --device-timeout=5 --buffers=3 --resolution=1280x720 --desired-fps=20
If you feel above command is too long, you can simply run
bash utbegin.sh
Once you started the ustreamer server, you can use your web browser to visit :
http://your_raspberry_pi_ip_address:8899 to see the web camera
If you don’t know your_raspberry_pi_ip_address, please type following command in Raspberry Pi terminal:
hostname -I
For example, if your hostname -I command shows:
192.168.1.19 2604:3d08:507c:c800::639d 2604:3d08:507c:c800:4310:a8e3:a8fc:a5e2
it means your Pi IP is 192.168.1.19, so you can use
http://192.168.1.19:8899 to see your web camera video stream
