Script HTTP server

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 a static image when you connect to it (send a GET request).

Demo

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

Command Line

1Serving at 192.168.1.193:8080

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

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

Command Line

1git clone https://github.com/luxonis/depthai-python.git
2cd depthai-python/examples
3python3 install_requirements.py

For additional information, please follow the installation guide.
