Description:
- This camera is made in China, but function is same with original UK version.
- Connect mode: the position of the connector: 90 degree vertical connector, HDMI mouth next to that.

Software:
1. RPi firmware and raspi-config have been updated, please execute a update apt-get; upgrade apt-get;
2. For Raspi-config, select the Camera, start the RPi firmware camera driver, and then restart
3. Use the command line program Raspivid and Raspistill to operate the camera to collect video clips or images
4. Acquisition video clips to be played with Mplayer

How will the camera data through the network live broadcast out:
According toNC command (Concatenate - and redirect sockets NCAT),  the input data of the camera directly redirected to the network port to achieve output

Instruction:

How to use the Raspberry Pi camera software
-  Raspivid is a command line application that allows you to  collect video with the camera module, while the applicationraspistill allows you to  collect images.
-  -o or –output specifies the output filename and -t or –timeout specifies the amount of time that the preview will be displayed in milliseconds. Note that this set to 5s by default and that raspistill will collect the final frame of the preview period.
-  -d or –demo runs the demo mode that will cycle through the various image effects that are available.

Example commands
- Collect an image in jpeg format:
- Raspistill -o image.jpg
- Collect a 5s video in h264 format:
- Raspivid -o video.h264
- Collect a 10s video:
- Raspivid -o video.h264 -t 10000
- Collect a 10s video in demo mode:
- Raspivid -o video.h264 -t 10000 -d
- To see a list of possible options for running raspivid or raspistill, you can run:
- Raspivid | less
- Raspistill | less
- Use the arrow keys to scroll and type q to exit.
- Extended documentation is available.
- Note that we recommend that you change SSH password if you are using a camera, in order to prevent unwanted access.

How to stream video from the Raspberry Pi camera over a network
- To view the feed on Linux
- Install the dependencies by running the following in a terminal:
- Sudo apt-get install mplayer netcat
- Find your IP address by running ifconfig. (Your IP address will be listed in the console output and will probably be of the form 192.168.1.XXX).
- Run the following command in a terminal to view the feed using MPlayer:
- nc -l -p 5001 | mplayer -fps 31 -cache 1024 -
- To view the feed on Windows
- Install and run Linux instead.
- Find your IP address by running ipconfig. (Your IP address will be listed in the console output and will probably be of the form 192.168.1.XXX).
- Download MPlayer.
- Download Netcat.
- Note that your browser may complain that these files are malicious, as they are unsigned executables.
- Press the Windows key and the ‘r’ key simultaneously to bring up the “Run” dialog. Enter cmd.exe into the dialog and press enter/return to open a DOS prompt.
- Enter the following command at the prompt to view the feed using MPlayer:
[Path to nc.exe]\nc.exe -L -p 5001 | [Path to mplayer.exe]\mplayer.exe -fps 31 -cache 1024 -
- To view the feed on OS X
- Download MPlayer.
- Alternatively, you can download mplayer using Brew, which we recommend.
- Find your IP address by running ifconfig. (Your IP address will be listed in the console output and will probably be of the form 192.168.1.XXX).
- Run the following command in Terminal to view the feed using MPlayer:
- nc -l -p 5001 | mplayer -fps 31 -cache 1024 -
- To view the feed on a Raspberry Pi:
- Find your IP address by running ifconfig. (Your IP address will be listed in the console output and will probably be of the form 192.168.1.XXX).
- Run the following commands in a terminal on the receiving Pi:
mkfifo buffer
- nc -p 5001 -l > buffer | /opt/vc/src/hello_pi/hello_video/hello_video.bin buffer
- To transmit the feed from the Pi with camera module attached
- After setting up the “receiving” machine as per the instructions above, run the following commands in a terminal on the “transmitting” Pi:
- Raspivid -t 999999 -o – | nc [insert the IP address of the client] 5001
- You can then use the commands listed in the “How to use the Raspberry Pi camera software” section above to change the acquisition time or to add a video effect.
