Streaming with DWE_OS 2.0

This guide is to help you setup streaming on DWE_OS 2.0.

exploreHD cameras feature hardware H.264 compression, which improves performance for multiple camera streams.

1. Open DWE_OS 2.0 in your browser

   It may take a few minutes for the first boot if installed via image.

   Installed from image

   Open DWE_OS at: http://dweos.local

   Versions of DWE_OS 2 prior to v0.4.0-beta (11/1/2024) are accessible at dweos.local:5000

2. Connect a DWE.ai camera to your subsea computer

   
3. Enable the stream by selecting the stream switch shown below

   After enabling a stream, there is some key information shown:

   1. Resolution, FPS, and Format
   2. Stream Endpoints (RTP)
   3. IP Address & Port for new endpoint
   4. Camera Controls

   You will not be able to view the stream unless a stream endpoint has been added. Each endpoint describes where the stream will be sent. You are able to stream a single camera to multiple endpoints if desired.

4. Add a stream endpoint

   By default, the IP Address will default to the device currently connected to the subsea computer. This behavior can be changed in preferences.

   Set the IP Address and Port and click the Add button shown below.

   

   After adding, the endpoints list should look like the following:

   

   The stream will automatically restart when modified.

   Remember, the endpoints list is what shows the actual list of endpoints. The IP Address and Port input menu only specify what endpoint will be added next, should the Add button be pressed. In the example above, the port being streamed to is 5600, despite the “Add Endpoint” menu showing 5601.

5. Install Discovery for Desktop

   Download Discovery

   Click here to download Discovery for Desktop on your Laptop/PC.

   After download is complete, enter the IP address (stream endpoint IP) and port of the streams you would like to receive.

6. Success!

   

   There you go! You should have your video streams showing up from your Raspberry Pi or subsea computer.

DWE OS 2.0 does not currntly support RTSP Streaming. We currently use a more direct form of streaming called RTP.
