In working on the time-lapse deck camera, I wanted to turn a Raspberry Pi with an HQ camera into an IP camera. There are two approaches I tried. Both worked. In the end, I would prefer the nginx solution, because it’s lighter and doesn’t cause the installation of XServer and crew on something like a headless Raspberry Pi Zero W!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RTSP Streamer with VLC<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Prepare SD card (Used Raspberry Pi OS lite (no desktop))
Add the ssh & wpa_supplicant.conf files to the boot partition
Boot RPZW from S card<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ssh pi@192.168.0.xxx
passwd
sudo raspi-config
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo apt install vlc
sudo nano rtsp-stream.sh<\/p>\n\n\n\n

!\/bin\/bash
raspivid -o – -t 0 -rot 0 -w 1280 -h 720 -fps 30 -b 1250000 | cvlc -vvv stream:\/\/\/dev\/stdin –sout ‘#rtp{sdp=rtsp:\/\/:8554\/stream}’ :demux=h264<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sudo chmod +x rtsp-stream.sh
.\/rtsp-stream.sh<\/p>\n\n\n\n

test with VLC “Network Stream”: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

rtsp:\/\/192.168.0.120:8554\/stream<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make it a service<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sudo nano \/etc\/systemd\/system\/rtsp-stream.service<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Unit]
Description=Deck Camera Streaming Service
After=multi-user.target<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=\/home\/pi\/rtsp-stream.sh
User=pi
WorkingDirectory=\/home\/pi
Restart=on-failure<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sudo systemctl enable rtsp-stream.service
sudo systemctl start rtsp-stream.service
sudo reboot<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RTMP Streamer with nginx<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Prepare SD card (Used Raspberry Pi OS lite (no desktop))
Add the ssh & wpa_supplicant.conf files to the boot partition
Boot RPZW from S card<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sudo apt update
sudo apt full-ugrade
sduo reboot
sudo apt install libnginx-mod-rtmp
sudo rm sites-enabled\/default
sudo systemctl start nginx.service
sudo systemctl status nginx.service<\/p>\n\n\n\n

nginx.service should be running. If so, continue. if not? fix it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sudo nano \/etc\/nginx\/rtmp.conf<\/p>\n\n\n\n

rtmp {
server {
listen 1935;
chunk_size 4096;
application live {
live on;
record off;
}
}
}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sudo nano \/etc\/nginx\/nginx.conf<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add this line:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

include \/etc\/nginx\/rtmp.conf;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

right here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

user www-data;
worker_processes auto;
pid \/run\/nginx.pid
include \/etc\/nginx\/modules-enabled\/*.conf;
include \/etc\/nginx\/rtmp.conf; <— right here
sudo systemctl stop nginx.service
sudo systemctl start nginx.service
sudo systemctl status nginx.service
netstat -an | grep 1935<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OK, try VLC:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
