# Camera stream
`compressed_vipc.py` connects to a remote device running openpilot, decodes the video streams, and republishes them over VisionIPC.
## Usage
### On the device
SSH into the device and run following in separate terminals:
`cd /data/openpilot && ./openpilot/cereal/messaging/bridge`
`cd /data/openpilot/system/loggerd && ./encoderd`
`cd /data/openpilot/system/camerad && ./camerad`
Note that both the device and your PC must be on the same openpilot commit.
Alternatively paste this as a single command:
```
(
cd /data/openpilot
./openpilot/cereal/messaging/bridge &
cd /data/openpilot/system/camerad/
./camerad &
cd /data/openpilot/system/loggerd/
./encoderd &
wait
) ; trap 'kill $(jobs -p)' SIGINT
```
Ctrl+C will stop all three processes.
### On the PC
Decode the stream with `compressed_vipc.py`:
```cd ~/openpilot/tools/camerastream && ./compressed_vipc.py <ip>```
To actually display the stream, run `watch3` in separate terminal:
```cd ~/openpilot/selfdrive/ui/ && ./watch3.py```
## compressed_vipc.py usage
```
$ python3 compressed_vipc.py -h
usage: compressed_vipc.py [-h] [--cams CAMS] [--server SERVER] [--silent] addr
Decode video streams and broadcast on VisionIPC
positional arguments:
addr Address of comma three
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--cams CAMS Cameras to decode
--server SERVER choose vipc server name
--silent Suppress debug output
```
## Example:
```
cd ~/openpilot/tools/camerastream && ./compressed_vipc.py comma-ffffffff --cams 0
cd ~/openpilot/selfdrive/ui/ && ./watch3.py
```
