QT streaming Server

[Sidii]

Hi, I have a usb camera, i want to stream the video from that camera to my client using web address/ local ip address. The client can simply view the video either by VLC or just opening the web browser and typing the local ip address.

Any help how to start this from scratch will be highly useful.
Kindly give me your expert opinions.

Thanks

Hi,

You can take a look at GStreamer and QtGStreamer

We have running a project at work in which we open our door via mobile phones. In order to see who's coming in through the door we have installed a webcam that streams the current image via ethernet.

In order to grab the image from QCamera see
https://github.com/cybercatalyst/dooropener/blob/master/qdoorserver/cameraframegrabber.cpp

See the sendCameraFrame method in this class on how to save the frame to a base64 encoded string:
https://github.com/cybercatalyst/dooropener/blob/master/qdoorserver/dooropenerservice.cpp

And see the handleServerMessage-method to see how to decode the received image:
https://github.com/cybercatalyst/dooropener/blob/master/qdoorclient/mainwindow.cpp

You will have to do some additional research if you want to display the image in a browser. Hope this helps.

If you want you can try my project, DomusBoss.

Using mjpeg is not bad, h264 is too slow.
