Live Video

LimitOS can be used to view a live video feed from the Raspberry Pi Camera Module.

Tutorial

Follow the live video tutorial to learn how to stream video from your Raspberry Pi.

Operating system versions

The necessary video libraries are pre-installed on all versions of Raspberry Pi OS (Buster) .

If you're using Raspian Jesse, the necessary libraries are not pre-installed, so you'll have to manually install ffmpeg.

Setting up the camera

The camera must be enabled first using the command:
sudo raspi-config

Visit the official documentation for more info.
