Web Cam streaming from Raspberry Pi to Android using streamer

I tried to stream video from webcam connected with Raspberry Pi to Android phone.

Hardware

webcam : PS3 Eye

Raspberry Pi : Raspberry Pi Model B Revision 2.0
Wi-Fi dongle : Edimax EW-7811Un 150 Mbps Wireless

Android Phone : Motorola RAZR XT912

Best Raspberry PI Kit (Recommended!)

       

Set up Raspberry Pi

Install gstreamer

Update your Raspbian before install gstreamer packages.

sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get update

Install gstreamer packages.

sudo apt-get install gstreamer-tools gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-good v4l-utils

Create gstreamer start script

I like tcsh shell.

sudo apt-get install tcsh

Create the script gst-server.sh to start gstreamer streaming server. 

#!/bin/tcsh

set myip=192.168.0.103
set port=5000
set width=320
set height=240

gst-launch\
  v4l2src !\
  ffmpegcolorspace !\
  video/x-raw-yuv,width=${width},height=${height},framerate=\(fraction\)30/1 !\
  jpegenc !\
  tcpserversink host=${myip} port=${port} sync=false

 Add an executable permission to the script.

chmod u+x gst-server.sh

Connect a webcam

I used PS3 Eye as a webcam. You can use other webcams.

Start gstreamer

Run the script.

./gst-server.sh

Set up Android phone

I created an Android application simplemjpegview_gst based on SimpleMjpegStreamer. You can download the source codes.

You can download apk file here.
