Wireless Live Video Streaming using MJPEG Streaming on Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi is a cheap and tiny single-board computer powered by ARM processor. While it was mainly developed for children to learn computer programming, it has also become a versatile device for DIY electronic enthusiasts or computer professionals who build many useful tools based on the tiny hardware In this project we build and run MJPG-Streamer on the Raspberry Pi It's been a while since I wrote the article on streaming video from the Raspberry Pi using MJPG-Streamer. Since I published that article I have received several comments and questions regarding issues building MJPG-Streamer, so in this short post I'm giving you revised build instructions. Then we interface Simple Webcam on Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi’s low power consumption makes it well suited to the role of always-on server. This post describes how to attach a simple webcam to a Raspberry Pi and have it take a snapshot every few minutes, and how to view the pictures on the web. If you want to be able to view the webcam from across the internet, I e .from locations other than your home network, it is necessary to forward a port on your internet router. That is beyond the scope of this article. However it is quite easy to do and many guides exist on the internet.
