The goal of this project was to use a Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Pi V2 Camera Module to stream video to a computer over Wifi using Python.

There are a lot of potential uses for a wireless video streaming device, namely:

• Security Systems
• Surveillance Systems
• Motion Sensors
• Point of View Cameras for RC Cars or Drones

All of these options would be a great use for a small wireless video streaming device.

This video streaming device works by:

• Taking a photo using the Raspberry Pi Camera Module.
• Sending the compressed bytes from a server to a client using socket.
• Decoding the bytes into an image.
• Displaying the image, representing one frame of a video stream.
