Video Streaming Server

This open-source video streaming prototype uses a Raspberry Pi as the central controller for capturing and transmitting live video across a closed local network. The system integrates FFmpeg for real-time video encoding and low-latency streaming, enabling efficient delivery to connected devices without relying on internet access. A motorized camera pan-tilt module allows remote directional control, making the prototype suitable for monitoring, robotics, or research applications. 

 Steps:

1. A Raspberry Pi is configured as the central controller for the video streaming system.
2. A connected camera captures live video data in real time through the Raspberry Pi interface.
3. FFmpeg is used to encode and compress the video stream for efficient transmission.
4. The encoded video is transmitted across a closed local network with low-latency streaming performance and without requiring internet connectivity.
5. Connected client devices on the network receive and display the live video stream in real time.
6. A motorized pan-tilt camera module provides remote directional control of the camera position.
7. The completed prototype demonstrates a practical open-source platform for monitoring, robotics, and research-oriented video streaming applications.

All Raspberry Pi functionality including video capture, video encoding, video streaming and camera controls were written in Python using Vi As the editor.

 The custom video playback and camera control application was developed in Swift on a MacBook Pro using Xcode as the primary development environment.
