It is recommended to create a python virtualenv to manage dependencies before running to make sure packages from different projects do not interfere with each other. You can install virtualenv via
pip3 install virtualenv
To build a virtualenv in your current project directory run
python3 -m virtualenv env
To start the virtual environment, run the following command:
source env/bin/activate
Install dependencies by running pip3 install -r requirements.txt
A settings.yaml file must be included in the same directory as main.py before running the script.
An example template is as follows:
IP: <INSERT_CAMERA_IP_HERE>
WEIGHT_DIRECTORY: <INSERT_DIRECTORY_HERE>
FRAME_PREVIEW: OFF
After editing the settings.yaml file with your webcam IP and weight directory, simply run python3 main.py and ensure your ip camera is properly streaming.
