It uses 'mjpg-streamer' to create an MJPEG stream a browser can

<div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">The
video stream pushing part is very commo ly done, but be careful
to use software known to work with the RPI camera. Motion (in
standard distros) still doesn't and I found the "pipe one
instance of VLC into a other" aproach to be a complete mess, now
matter how low I went with ftame rates. There was some kind of
(missing) flow control problem causing longer and longer latency
between motion and output by the remote VLC. Equal parties
hilarity and frustration.

<p dir="ltr">If you add the camera to the Pi, I assume that the Pi
could push the camera data over a USB WiFi adapter. Thus you
could use a single port to both view the camera and have some
control of the printer via GPIO ports & relays on the Pi or
whatever the OctoPrint software interface is.</p>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Glen,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for all the awesome suggestions. I was
preferring wireless connection because at NC State to
activate a ethernet port if it has been inactive for a
while, it takes about 100 bucks or so. I hence wanted to
just stick in a wireless network adapter and get the ball
rolling. :-)</div>

<div>I use a Logitech C510 webcam on my ubuntu
laptop controlling a 3d printer. I run
'motion' and have it setup a streaming port
that you can view with any modern browser
and no extra software. Just be sure to
disable all the motion detection - the
streaming will still work. Otherwise it
will go nuts filling your disk taking video
and snapshots of your printer moving
around. On my ancient laptop streaming
1280x1024 @ 50% quality and 2 fps it uses
only about 30% CPU. You can watch the
stream on a tablet or smartphone also which
gives nice flexibility.<br>
<br>
For the Pi as Dan mentioned you will
probably want to use the MotionEye frontend
for motion to utilize the very nice
Raspberry Pi camera. I would still consider
a simple webcam for your application just
because it allows you more freedom for
optimal placement since a webcam will have
at least a 6 ft cord instead of the 6 inch
flex cable you have with the Pi camera.<br>
