I'm looking for a method to stream my PC's camera to another PC in the same network using Python.

I thought about using OpenCV module to capture my camera's output and then to serialize the 3 dimensional array to bytes and sending it using sockets but the thing is that this is a lot of bytes to send. For example if I reduce the camera's output to 480* 640 every frame is 480*640*3 bytes( The 3 is for RGB) .

I can optimize this if I use a gray scale video.

Any other ideas that are not sockets ?

Interframe compression? – Mischa May 10 '18 at 11:00
You could use gstreamer with opencv. See [this](https://stackoverflow.com/a/46636126/2286337) and [this](https://stackoverflow.com/a/47045135/2286337). – zindarod May 10 '18 at 20:38
