If you would like to get more in depth knowledge about your
device, install the uvcdynctrl package, which lets you retrieve
all the formats and frame rates supported.
Installing and running MJPG-Streamer
Now that we have checked the chain from the hardware level up to the driver,
we can install the software that will make use of Video4Linux for video streaming.
Here comes MJPG-Streamer .
This application aims to provide you with a JPEG stream on the network available
for browsers and all video applications.
Besides this, we are also interested in this solution as it's made for systems with less
advanced CPU, so we can start MJPG-Streamer as a service. With this streamer, you
can also use the built-hardware compression and even control webcams such as pan,
tilt, rotations, zoom capabilities, and so on.
Installing MJPG-Streamer
Before installing MJPG-Streamer, we will install all the necessary dependencies:
debian@arm:~$ install subversion libjpeg8-dev imagemagick
Next, we will retrieve the code from the project:
debian@arm:~$ svn checkout http://svn.code.sf.net/p/mjpg-streamer/code/
mjpg-streamer-code
You can now build the executable from the sources you just downloaded by
performing the following steps:
1.
Enter the following into the local directory you have downloaded:
debian@arm:~$ cd mjpg-streamer-code/mjpg-streamer
2.
Then enter the following command:
debian@beaglebone:~/mjpg-streamer-code/mjpg-streamer$ make
