Getting Started
Install pi-webrtc and see live video in your browser. It takes about 10 minutes. You only need the device, a camera, and a computer on the same network.
Choose your device
- Raspberry Pi: Raspberry Pi OS Trixie (64-bit) with a CSI or USB camera.
- NVIDIA Jetson: JetPack 6 with a CSI or USB camera.
- Troubleshooting: common errors and how to fix them.
Do you already have an IP camera? See RTSP cameras.
What you need
| Device | Raspberry Pi (Zero 2 W or newer), or an NVIDIA Jetson Orin |
| OS | Raspberry Pi OS Trixie (64-bit), or JetPack 6 (L4T R36) |

These guides use WHEP to play the video. WHEP needs no extra server: pi-webrtc serves the stream itself.
