Streaming video from the Pi using raspi-vid and cvlc works well and is stable. This works well with low latency within the LAN

Drawbacks are:

  • VLC media player is required to view the stream (need a web browser solution).
  • The number of connections to the video steam is limited by your home upload bandwidth (usually lower on ADSL).
  • A port must be open on your router that may be a security concern.

Streaming video requires bandwidth and it is not practical to publicly stream all the hives all the time.


Public viewing of hive video.

This is a proposed control structure to turn on and off video streaming from each hive.
