A node application to stream live video from an IP camera to your browser. This project uses ffmpeg and your computers webcam to stream live video to http:localhost:8888/video at ~30 FPS. The ffmpeg command that I used is included in commands.txt.
####Getting Started
######Open a terminal window and clone down this repo
$ git clone https://github.com/samheutmaker/node-live-stream.git
$ cd node-live-stream
You must have your server started before you begin streaming the video.
$ node node-live-stream
This will start a server that listens for video in at http:localhost:8888/videoin and displays the video at http:localhost:8888/video
####ffmpeg
To start streaming video, copy the command in commands.txt and paste in it into a new terminal window.
$ ffmpeg -f avfoundation -framerate 30 -i "0:0" -tune zerolatency -b 5000k -f mjpeg http://127.0.0.1:8888/videoin
This will start ffmpeg streaming video to your server. You will most likely see some sort of indicating that your webcam is filming.
####Viewing you streamed content
Open up http:localhost:8888/video and you should see a your video displayed.
####Notes I tried to use this solution with a hosted server and did not get decent results. If you are able to get it working, feel free to make pull requst.
