A Dropcam will run you about $150. Price out a Raspberry Pi, camera sensor, and a CCTV camera housing found on eBay, and it starts to look like there may be a cheaper replacement for a Dropcam sitting around on workbenches, if only someone can figure out the software. [Antoine] did just that (http://www.sonsoftone.com/?page_id=287), giving any Raspberry Pi the ability to stream H.264 video over a network.
[Antoine]‘s software is based on the raspivid tool (http://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/usage/camera/raspicam/raspivid.md) distributed from the foundation, but that only takes care of capturing and encoding H.264 video from the camera sensor. To add IP camera support, the Live555 RTSP library (http://www.live555.com/liveMedia/) was mixed in and combined to stream video over the Raspi’s network connection.
With a camera dome enclosure from the usual outlets, [Antoine]‘s project really starts to look professional. The specs are respectable, too: it can output a 1080 stream, and with a small modification to an Ethernet cord, this webcam has PoE. Future updates include the ability to record videos based on a trigger and possibly a webserver on the Pi for configuration. [Antoine] says he really isn’t up to speed with Javascript, so any help would be appreciated.
