Project done for the subject audio-video streaming

The main idea was to create a system with a graphical interface allowing for viewing images from many IP cameras connected to one server using a web socket.

• Video frames from webcam are captured using OpenCV.
• Pickle module is used to serialize frame to bytes.
• Each frame data is packed using Struct module.
• Packed bytes are sent to the server socket.

• Server socket is listening on selected address and port number.
• Each accepted client connection start a new thread used to process video packets.
• Data from each client is unpacked using Struct module and assembled into frame using Pickle module.
• Video frame is converted from BGR to RGB color space and displayed in GUI.
• Each received video can be recorded independently.
• Recordings are saved to the appropriate folder, with a name that clearly indicate the time and source of the recording.

Python 🔗
Customtkinter🔗
OpenCV🔗
Pillow🔗

Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started with the project.

Before you begin, make sure you have the following installed on your machine:

• Python (version 3.13 or later)
• pip package manager (version 24.0 or later)

Let's start with installing all dependencies that are not pre-packaged with Python. Move to the app main workspace and run:

pip install customtkinter
pip install opencv-python
pip install pillow

To run server or client script from the command line, in the app workspace type:

python scriptName.py
