Pivestream

A ridiculously simple livestream system for any Raspberry Pi with a Pi Cam.

Note, however, that this livestream is not encrypted in any way, and that it can be easily accessed by anyone connected to your network. This camera system is useful for simple tasks, like monitoring 3D-prints or wildlife, but is likely not suitable for home-monitoring systems or other settings that ought to require privacy. Please keep this in mind when using this software.

To Install:

1. Have powered Raspberry Pi with Rasperry Pi OS and Pi Camera attached.

2. Use SSH or a monitor to get into terminal.

3. Run the following command:

curl -fsSL https://wesleymcginn.github.io/Pivestream/install.sh | sh

4. Reboot:

sudo reboot

To Use:

1. Find your Raspberry Pi's IP address by entering: hostname -I

2. Open a web browser on any device connected to the same network as the Raspberry Pi and enter your IP address followed by ":7000". For example, if your IP address was found to be 192.168.1.100, enter http://192.168.1.100:7000.
