Recently I discovered the pi’s in my quest for making a device with recognition software to locate items on the ground while being attached to a multi-rotor helicopter.

The Raspberry Pi is perfect. only needing 5v to run means its great for running off batteries etc. anyway to the streaming part.

for the PC/ MAC its simple just go to the VLC downloads page – http://www.videolan.org/ as for the Pi its more complicated.

I take no credit for the code, but hope that details of how I have se it up on my system, and how I have connected it to a Synology NAS with built in Surveillance Station will be of interest to others. The original thread has multiple posts on it, and it can be confusing to get to grips with the code as a result.
