Raspberry Pi mjpg-streamer using resin.io

Instructions:

First, create a resin.io application and write the image to an SD card.

In the resin.io dashboard, set two environment variables: USERNAME and PASSWORD

Then, run the following commands:

• git clone https://github.com/NVBots/resin-mjpgstreamer.git
• cd resin-mjpgstreamer
• git remote add resin [email protected]:<username>/<project_name>.git
• git push resin master

Boot a Raspberry Pi with the SD card.

To view on local network, go to https://<device_ip>

To view on internet, enable public ip through the resin dashboard and click on the link

Configuration:

There are several settings that can be configured via Environment Variables:

• USERNAME : username for authentication (setting this variable enables authentication and requires PASSWORD to be set)
• PASSWORD : password for authentication
• USE_RASPICAM : Setting this variable to any value enables streaming from a raspberry pi camera instead of a USB webcam
• RESOLUTION : set to desired resolution {width}x{height}. defaults to 1280x720
• FRAMERATE: set desired framerate. defaults to 10

Raspberry Pi Camera:

You'll need to edit the default image to enable the raspberry pi cam. Follow instructions from here: https://docs.resin.io/#/pages/hardware/i2c-and-spi.md#raspberry-pi-camera-module
