Webcam MJPEG Stream

A sample koa app that streams snapshots from your Mac to the browser via server-side events.

Use case: you have a baby and a Mac dedicated to him/her (because you have disposable income and think the Raspberry Pi is for plebians), and you want to watch him/her from your phone.

Setup

You need node v0.11.4+ for generator support.

# Install imagemagick and imagesnap
brew install imagemagick imagesnap

# Use node 0.11.x
nvm use 0.11

# Install deps
npm install

# Set the port
export PORT=3000

# Set the snapshot interval in seconds
export SNAPSHOT_INTERVAL=5

# Start the server
node --harmony-generators index.js
