<html> # multi cam solutions different approaches for recording and streaming a benchtop work surface

## Raspi the raspi can accept USB webcams but the usb2 limiting the bandwidth for multi cam solutions. the raspi also always for direct conect of camera, with limtation of length . elad fwd me to the arducam family of megapixel modules. and arducam multi cam switcher [docs](http://www.arducam.com/multi-camera-adapter-module-raspberry-pi/) - [official store](http://www.uctronics.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=multi) - [euro supplier](https://botland.com.pl/598-kamery-do-raspberry-pi?producenci*=arducam)

another switcher is offered by ivmach, [link](http://www.ivmech.com/magaza/en/development-modules-c-4/ivport-dual-v2-raspberry-pi-camera-module-v2-multiplexer-p-109) there are [claims](https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=154540) the arudcam one is not compatible with the raspi cam v2.

## ESP8266 arducam also offers a nice esp8266 based platform for their many modules 20$ to israel from [amazon.com](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ESRYA2Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_dp_3EIMAbX83ES58)

## Streaming [Janus](https://janus.conf.meetecho.com/) - is a webRTC gateway for broadcasting one to many scenario - [github](https://github.com/meetecho/janus-gateway) Streamer also support webRTC - [site](https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/news/)

## raspi i started with a raspi3 + cam module v1 

  #Enable UART
  enable_uart=1
  force_turbo=1

nice raspi zero based “camera”

“This repo's objective is providing something like Web Cam server on the most popular Raspberry PI hardware. By integrating [WebRTC]([https://webrtc.org/native-code/](https://webrtc.org/native-code/)) and Raspberry PI, we can stream the Raspberry camera feed to browser or native client which talks WebRTC.” https://github.com/kclyu/rpi-webrtc-streamer you can used the deb repo for compiled ready to run version ` Stream the #RaspberryPi camera module through your browser http://www.recantha.co.uk/blog/?p=4165 serious comments https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/7446/how-can-i-stream-h-264-video-from-the-raspberry-pi-camera-module-via-a-web-serve
