Hello Robert, > Is there a streaming-tool known to work with v4l2 ? > Hello, Try "UVC-streamer": The current version 1.2 allows to take single snapshots and to stream to MJPEG compatible clients. VLC was tested and works well, but has a significant latency of about a few seconds. A small HowTo can be found in the UVC wiki (http://openfacts.berlios.de/index-en.phtml?title=HowTo_install_UVC_Streamer).
Assume your Linux-UVC driver created "/dev/video0". You can start "uvc-streamer" with: # uvc_stream -b -d /dev/video0 -r 640x480 -f 5 -p 8080 or simply (because all the parameters above are default parameters): # uvc_stream -b Then you can view the stream with: # wxvlc http://127.0.0.1:8080 You can take a snapshot with a browser (tested with FF, IE, Opera): # http://127.0.0.1:8080/snapshot If you want to use your webcam as an appliance, have a look at the uvc-streamer package for OpenWRT. The current uvc-streamer package still does not support the snapshots, but is running for weeks now. The required resources are that low, i assume you can hook up a few cameras to a router like the Asus WL-500gP and run a new instance of uvc-streamer for each camera at a different TCP port. Please consider contributing your tips to the Linux-UVC wiki, or the OpenWRT wiki at http://wiki.openwrt.org/webcam Roadmap: * expect version 1.3 of uvc-streamer to be more modular * expect to get an updated version of the OpenWRT package (also quite easy to do yourself) * i want to to allow to make settings for parameters like color, saturation, ... via HTTP Kind regards, Tom _______________________________________________ Linux-uvc-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/linux-uvc-devel
