mqtt-camera-streamer
Stream camera frames over MQTT for low-FPS IoT viewing, recording, and image processing pipelines.
What is mqtt-camera-streamer?
mqtt-camera-streamer is a Python-based tool that streams images from cameras or video feeds over MQTT for remote viewing, recording, and processing. It solves the complexity of setting up camera streams in IoT and scientific projects by using the simple MQTT protocol, enabling low-frame-rate monitoring and image manipulation across a network.
IoT enthusiasts, researchers, and developers working with Raspberry Pi or other systems who need to remotely monitor camera feeds, save frames for analysis, or build simple image processing pipelines without high-performance requirements.
Developers choose mqtt-camera-streamer for its straightforward approach to camera streaming using MQTT, avoiding the steep learning curve of tools like Gstreamer. It offers integrated viewing with Streamlit, flexible recording options, and easy integration with platforms like Home Assistant.
