Turn Raspberry Pi or NVIDIA Jetson into a low-latency ~200ms WebRTC streaming platform.

• Native WebRTC with hardware/software encoding

• Support snapshot, recording andbroadcasting

• Remote control and IoT messaging via WebRTC DataChannel

• Signaling options:

  MQTT

  • picamera.js
  • picamera-react-native
  • picamera-web
  • picamera-app - Android

  WHEP

  • Home Assistant WebRTC Camera
  • eyevinn/webrtc-player

  WebSocket

  • picamera.js - SFU signaling & broadcast

• Raspberry Pi (Zero/3/4/5) orNVIDIA Jetson (Nano/NX/Orin)
• CSI or USB camera (supports libcamera, libargus or V4L2)

Check out thetutorial video or follow these steps.

UseRaspberry Pi Imager to flashLite OS to SD card.

sudo apt updatesudo apt install libcamera0.5 libmosquitto1 pulseaudio libavformat59 libswscale6 libprotobuf32

Get the latestrelease binary .

wget https://github.com/TzuHuanTai/RaspberryPi-WebRTC/releases/latest/download/pi-webrtc-v1.2.0_raspios-bookworm-arm64.tar.gztar -xzf pi-webrtc-v1.2.0_raspios-bookworm-arm64.tar.gz

UseHiveMQ,EMQX, or aself-hosted broker.

• Openpicamera-web, add MQTT settings, and create aUID.
• Run the command on your Pi:

  ./pi-webrtc \    --camera=libcamera:0 \    --fps=30 \    --width=1280 \    --height=960 \    --use-mqtt \    --mqtt-host=your.mqtt.cloud \    --mqtt-port=8883 \    --mqtt-username=hakunamatata \    --mqtt-password=Wonderful \    --uid=your-custom-uid \    --no-audio \    --hw-accel# Only Pi Zero 2W, 3B, 4B support hw encoding

• Broadcasting a Live Stream to 1,000+ Viewers via SFU
• Using the V4L2 Driver (for USB cameras)
• Running as a Linux Service
• Recording
• Two-way Audio Communication
• Two-way DataChannel Messaging
• Stream AI or Any Custom Feed to a Virtual Camera
• WHEP with Nginx proxy
• Using the WebRTC Camera in Home Assistant
