raspicam working example
At this point we'll try to use as an example the raspicam and mjpg streamer
For that you need to install raspistill: \link
For starting the camera:
$ mkdir /tmp/stream
$ raspistill --nopreview -w 640 -h 480 -q 5 -o /tmp/stream/pic.jpg -tl 100 -t 9999999 -th 0:0:0 &
You need to install mjpg streamer:
Than run:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib mjpg_streamer -i "input_file.so -f /tmp/stream -n pic.jpg" -o "output_http.so -w /usr/local/www -p 9999"
