I need to broadcast the stream of my Raspberry pi camera mounted in front of the train. More info on the “train” project here (part1) and here TODO

This is the results of my search on the possible solutions :

motion

more for security or motion detection

with VLC

The camera stream is send to vlc which forward it over the network

raspivid -o - -t 0 -hf -w 640 -h 360 -fps 25 | cvlc -vvv stream:///dev/stdin --sout '#rtp{sdp=rtsp://:8554}' :demux=h264

-Slow, Delay

+Easy

Direct capture with the new recent v4l2 driver

cvlc v4l2:///dev/video0 --v4l2-width 1920 --v4l2-height 1080 --v4l2-chroma h264 --sout '#standard{access=http,mux=ts,dst=0.0.0.0:12345}'

+Easy

-Require VLC

with ffmpeg//ffserver

https://www.ffmpeg.org/

A complete, cross-platform solution to record, convert and stream audio and video.

–The stream is capture and stream by ffmpeg

raspivid -n -vf -hf -t 0 -w 960 -h 540 -fps 25 -b 500000 -o - | ffmpeg -i - -vcodec copy -an -metadata title="Streaming from raspberry pi camera" -f flv $RTMP_URL/$STREAM_KEY

with MJPG streamer

MJPG-streamer takes JPGs from Linux-UVC compatible webcams, file system or other input plugins and streams them as M-JPEG via HTTP to web browsers

with gstreamer

GStreamer is a library for constructing graphs of media-handling components. The applications it supports range from simple Ogg/Vorbis playback, audio/video streaming to complex audio (mixing) and video (non-linear editing) processing.

RPi caminterface

RaspiMJPEG is an OpenMAX-Application based on the mmal-library, which is comparable to RaspiVid. Both applications save the recording formated as H264 into a file

WebRTC UV4L

WebRTC is a very powerful standard, modern protocol and gives a number of nicefeatures

-only works with pi2

picamera

The project consists primarily of a class (PiCamera) which is a re-implementation of high-level bits of the raspistill and raspivid commands using the ctypes based libmmal header conversion, plus a set of encoder classes which re-implement the encoder callback configuration in the aforementioned binaries. Various classes for specialized applications also exist (PiCameraCircularIO, PiBayerArray, etc.)

avconv

avconv is a very fast video and audio converter that can also grab from a live audio/video source. It can also convert between arbitrary sample rates and resize video on the fly with a high quality polyphase filter.
