cam2ip is a Go command-line tool that turns any webcam into an IP camera by streaming MJPEG over HTTP. It supports native camera capture on Linux, Windows, and macOS, with options for resolution, rotation, timestamps, and basic authentication.
Use cases
- stream my webcam over the network as an IP camera
- view a webcam feed in a browser or VLC
- set up a simple MJPEG surveillance stream on a Raspberry Pi
- expose a local camera as an HTTP MJPEG endpoint
- add a timestamp overlay to a webcam stream
- secure a camera stream with password authentication
When to choose
- you need a lightweight, dependency-free way to stream a webcam over HTTP
- you want cross-platform camera capture without cgo on macOS
- you run a Raspberry Pi or Linux box as a simple IP camera
When to avoid
- you need H.264/RTSP or multi-camera NVR features
- you need recording, motion detection, or full surveillance software
- you require audio streaming alongside video
