CamDisplay

The CamDisplay is another client for the CamServer, but instead of reading and analyzing the video feed, it will receive all current frames from the server and simply display them onto the screen.

The use case could be a raspberry with an attached raspberry screen, which can be placed anywhere in the house and where everyone could see the live feed of the camera all the time.

Getting started

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/Cankar001/CamDisplay.git

Create a environment file

You need to copy the .env.example file and rename it to just .env.

Fill in the server address and the port, you chose before when intializing the server.

Create a virtual environment

python -m venv venv

Activate the virtual enviroment

# on windows
.\venv\Scripts\activate.bat

# on linux
source ./venv/bin/activate

Check if environment has been activated

# This command should show the python path,
# pointing to your venv folder
pip --version

Install requirements from requirements.txt

pip install -r requirements.txt

Run client

pipenv run python Client.py

Troubleshooting

I discovered, that the virtualenv doesn't seem to like the powershell, I couldn't get it working in it.

But using a bash on windows, using source ./venv/Scripts/activate worked perfectly fine.
