After completing current guide, I successfully got 320*240 live video streaming through Intel Edison.
BUT
1./edi-cam/web/server/server.js
2./edi-cam/web/client/index.html
3./edi-cam/bin/do_ffmpeg.sh
But unfortunately instead of 360p live streaming we got leggy low resolution video.
I use Logitech 720p Camera.
Please help me for Getting 720p live video streaming.

Hi,
I have been trying to use your code with the Galileo board. Is there something I should be aware of within the code that's specific to Edison?? I changed to the appropriate repository for opkg and made sure my webcam is compatible with uvc.
When I run server.js everything seems fine, but when I connect to the http server through my pc browser the loading notice shows shortly, and then nothing just a white image. There's no error with the web sockets nor the firewall. Also the led indicator in my webcam only stays on for 1 second or less then it shuts down.
Thanks for your help

Hey,

two minutes after starting the stream the stream freezes due to a timeout. This can be fixed by adding

req.connection.setTimeout(0);

around line 70 of server.js

I'm surprised this has not been noticed yet, has this not happened to anyone else?

Now that I am able to run my server succesfully, do you know the commands to check if my npm is properly installed?

I tried a "npm install" command again instead of the output being up-to-date, it shows me

npm ERR! install Couldn't read dependencies
npm ERR! package.json ENOENT, open '/home/root/package.json'
npm ERR! package.json This is most likely not a problem with npm itself.

hello,

I wanted to edit ffserver.conf file and make some changes in there related to video size.
I want my camera to stream video of 960x720 resolution. right now it is streaming only 320x240 resolution as it may be specified in the ffserver.conf file.
I can edit the size of container in index.html page, but it just stretches size of window and not taking higher input size.
How can i do that ? I found the ffserver file (of size 26 MB) in /home/root/bin/ffmpeg directory, but it is in compiled format. So i cannot edit it. Can you suggest me any solution ?

hello,

I tried to run the project with required modifications in
bin/do_ffmpeg.sh , client/index.html , & server/server.js files.
I replaced 320_240 with 640_480 (also tried other combinations)
But now when I run the node server.js , the camera blinks once and then it turns off.
So i cannot get video stream of my desired size.
(I'm using Logitech C270 camera with 1280*720 HD input capacity)
how should I solve this ?

thank you.

hello,
first of all i want to thank you for this tutorial. i also want to ask you if you can explain how to from the cloning part an on. i been trying to stream but i can not get pass the installing the ffmpeg.

I've been reviewing the code, but still I have not been able to implement using ipv6.
Could you help me with that?

I didnt change code, and gone through the similar issues but I didn't find how to resolve it.

Hello,
I have been trying to modify a motion detecing function on your project.

I have found a similar link regarding this function however I am unable to do so.

Do you have any guide i am able to follow regarding motion?

Cheers!

Yesterday I loaded the latest Yocto image from Intel and proceeded to follow the edi-cam instructions. In doing so I noticed performing opkg install kernel-module-uvcvideo will break the now included uvcvideo. This step is no longer needed with the latest Yocto build.

First of all, thanks a lot for this project. I followed the instruction and was able to stream video on browser. This works within same network. How can I make my edison streaming accessible from outside my home network? I want to make a mobile app and stream on the app. Any idea?

Hi @drejkim

Thanks for sharing this project.

Can I write C++ code in openCV to view the video streaming instead of using web browser?

The C++ coding that i wrote as follow:

include <opencv/cv.h>

include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>

include <opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp>

include

include <stdio.h>

using namespace std;
using namespace cv;
int main()
{
Mat frame;
namedWindow("video", 1);
VideoCapture cap("http://192.168.8.102:8080/video.mjpg");
if(!cap.isOpened())
{
cout<<"Camera not found"<<endl;
getchar();
return -1;
}
while ( cap.isOpened() )
{
cap >> frame;
if(frame.empty()) break;
imshow("video", frame);
if(waitKey(30) >= 0) break;
}
return 0;
}

When running the C++, it does not show me the video and show me "Camera not found".

However, in Intel Edison terminal, it shows:
"GET /video.mjpg 206 87.816 ms - 1248"

Can you give me some advice and idea? Thank you.

I'm reviewing the code. And these lines still do not understand them. Could you help me please

In server.js

// serve index
require('./lib/routes').serveIndex(app, configServer.staticFolder);

According to understand, after this line is to run in the index.js
But I do not understand that now makes the file index.js

In index.js

// Load the single view; AngularJS will handle view changes on the front-end
// NB: This needs to be the last route added

exports.serveIndex = function (app, staticFolder) {
app.get('*', function (req, res) {
res.sendFile('index.html', { root: staticFolder });
});
};

Hi. I followed every step as you have described on my intel edison to get a video stream on my browser.
I have used A4 tech USB web cam. the problem is the video displayed in of a still image. it doesn't show live stream.
can u kindly help me in this ?

Hi Drejkim,
I followed the instructions as per "https://github.com/drejkim/edi-cam/blob/master/README.md", and could get the output only as below:

"WebSocket server listening on port 8084
HTTP server listening on port 8080
Listening for video stream on port 8082"

and nothing else.

Any clue?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, i was looking to make a surveillance camera with a public ip but is not working at all. Can you help me with that?

My webcam is Logitech C270 however when i node server.js it only display

WebSocket server listening on port 8084
HTTP server listening on port 8080
Listening for video stream on port 8082

According to your documentation, there is a missing line of
"Stream Connected: 127.0.0.1:52995 size: 320x240"

Also, when i run my web server of http://172.27.152.201:8084 , only a white screen with words "not implemented" is displayed.

Can you suggest where did i go wrong?

Cheers!

Hi, i'm trying to implement screenshots on motion detection using ffmpeg.
I tried several solutions but i'm running into a stumbling block with the right video source. i can't use '/dev/video0' because 'resource is in use (by edi-cam)' and a direct http output isn't working (using http://127.0.0.1:8082). Any ideas ?

Also as this isn't really an "issue" i tried to avoid starting one up, but couldn't find a reliable way to contact you. Thanks

Hi,

May i know if it is possible to create a ON and OFF button on the webpage?
If it is, any guide that i can follow through?

Cheers!

Dear Drejkim

Could you help "how to setup the Video quality and Bitrate up to 4Mbit/s" ?

I change the file "do_ffmpeg.sh" and "jsmpg.js" is not working .

By a way , the 1080p can't working in 2Mbit/s.

The usb will display error -71

My camera is logitech c910 .

hello, I've successfully got the streaming output of this project on Intel Edison mini breakout board.
I'm using Logitech c270 HD camera, which has input capacity of 720p.

But I got only 320*240 resolution image in browser on http://myedison.local:8080/
what changes should I make to get the 720p output.

thanks.

Hi,

I want to add facial recognition to your project, can you guide me to where within the code can I take the frame coming from the stream do the recognition and then display it in the http server?

Thanks

Hi @drejkim,

Thank you for building this project. I have the cam working and can load the video feed in a web browser just fine. Setting up a monitor in ZoneMinder for the camera feed fails though. Have you tried pointing ZoneMinder or any media player that speaks RTP/RSTP at the Edison host to see if that works?

Thanks a bunch!
Ulf

Hi,
