Live stream a computer webcam and embed into website?

laserzap · 2019-03-03T03:58:31+00:00

Hello, I'm trying to figure out the best way to stream a live video feed from a webcam connected to a small computer such as a raspberry pi. Preferably the most lightweight solution to capture and stream the video across the network so it can be embedded into a website. I'm trying to use the most direct solution, so I would prefer not to stream it through services. Most IP camera's live video feed can be embedded into a website by using their IP address as the source of an . What kind of software/hardware do those devices use? Any help is greatly appreciated! :wink:

SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on streaming live video from a webcam connected to a Raspberry Pi, emphasizing the need for a lightweight solution that allows direct embedding into a website without relying on third-party services. Users can utilize the RPi-Cam-Web-Interface software to achieve this, which enables hosting the web page directly on the Raspberry Pi. This method allows for easy access to the webcam feed via an IP address, similar to how IP cameras operate.

Most IP camera's live video feed can be embedded into a website by using their IP address as the source of an <iframe>.
