Use Raspberry Pi like GoPro, Live Videostream over WiFi direct connection between Pi and Android

2.8k views Asked by At

In the last weeks I experimented with my Raspberry Pi B and with the PiCamera. I had the idea to establish a connection between the RasPi and an Android device or (if it is easier) to a windows notebook without an access point in between, just like the GoPro camera and its App. I would like to have a live stream from the PiCamera to the other device and the possibility to start/stop recording a video or simply take a picture.

The app itself is not my problem, I wrote some simple apps before. But I didn't yet find a tutorial or description how to set up the communication and the stream.

I bought a WiFi dongle (Fritz!WLAN Stick N - by AVM) that supports WiFi direct and my phone (Samsung Galaxy S5 mini) does as well.

My first question is how to set up this stick on Raspbian - yet it is not recognises as a wifi dongle, and the second is how to achieve what I descriebed above.

Could anyone please describe what I can do?

Thanks in advance!

PS: I prefer a description for bash because I use SSH
