- Tornado server sending base64 encoded frames, captured using OpenCV, over a websoket to connected clients.
- Flask web app serving some html with JavaScript which connects through the websocket to the Tornado server and renders the images.
- You'll need Python 2 and OpenCV installed globally.
- Install python requirements:
pip install -r requirements.txt - If you're using virtualenv, copy the relevant OpenCV files to the virtualenv libs path:
cp /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cv* env/lib/python2.7/site-packages
- Run the tornado server:
python tornado_server.py - Run the flask server:
python flask_server.py
Go to http://0.0.0.0:5000/ and you might see yourself if you have a webcam.
You can set the amount of frames per second you want to have in your streaming. Because at the moment each frame is sent over websocket, I wouldn't suggest setting it higher than 10, otherwise you'll get some serious delay.
