Stream Webcam to browser (Python or PHP)

[Joveice]

Hello,

 

I followed this guide: http://manmade2.com/simple-home-surveillance-with-opencv-python-and-raspberry-pi/

Now I can see the webcam in the browser, it's laggy and only 1 instance can view the feed at once.

What can I do to make it better?

 

Is there a better way to do this?

 

Optionally: Can you do this in PHP? I know both Python and PHP, so it's what ever for me, I just want it to work better than it does now

Haven't used it myself, but https://github.com/jupyter-widgets/ipywidgets has a camera widget.

Are you doing any processing of that stream like they are showing? If not some clean solution base on WebRTC could work better. Or going really plain if raspberry is the server - saving image frame to a file and reloading that file in the browser on a web page with JS.

I think ffmpeg via HLS and than HLS .js would be interesting.

I want to try it someday.
