Script MJPEG server

Note

This example can only run on OAK POE devices. You need bootloader on/above version 0.0.15. You can flash bootloader by running python3 examples/bootloader/flash_bootloader.py.

This demo runs an HTTP server on the device itself. Server will serve you MJPEG stream when you connect to it.

Demo

When you run the demo, it will print something similar to

Serving at 192.168.1.193:8080

If you open this IP in the browser (eg. chrome), you will see this:

../../../_images/http_server.png

if you click on the here href, you will get the MJPEG video stream. For static image, you can check out Script HTTP server.

Setup

Please run the install script to download all required dependencies. Please note that this script must be ran from git context, so you have to download the depthai-python repository first and then run the script

git clone https://github.com/luxonis/depthai-python.git
cd depthai-python/examples
python3 install_requirements.py

For additional information, please follow installation guide
