Watching your camera over the Internet
What if you'd like to monitor your headquarters from afar or invite a fellow agent to
keep an eye out for trouble while you're away on a mission? You could try to make
the Pi accessible directly over the Internet, but it's much more convenient to let a
stream broadcasting service pick up the Pi camera feed and make it available to any
number of viewers.
There are a few different stream broadcasting services to choose from and we'll be
looking at one called Ustream, but the method described below should be applicable
to other companies as well.
Follow this procedure to get started with Ustream:
1.
2.
After verifying your e-mail address and signing in, click on
Go live!
You're signing up for the free
Basic
broadcasting service which is fine
for our purposes.
3.
Pick a good name for your channel. This name will be used to create a URL
for your camera feed so keep it something short that you can remember.
4.
With your channel created, click your user icon and select
Dashboard
from
the menu.
5.
Under the
Channel
group, click on
Remote
.
6.
The

and
Stream Key
fields will be copied to the command line
to deliver the camera stream to the broadcasting service.
