Pi 3 CCTV Stream Server
Pi 3 CCTV Stream Server: Deploy a Live MJPEG Network Camera in Hours
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Set up a live video streaming server that turns a Raspberry Pi into a CCTV camera accessible from any device on your Wi‑Fi. Monitor your room, workshop or desk with a browser‑based MJPEG stream — no app installs needed. Ideal for IoT projects and final‑year engineering demos.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a fully functional network camera server using a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and the official camera module. Once the Flask app is running, any browser on your local network can view a real‑time MJPEG video stream. Leave it as a DIY security monitor, a wildlife nest box viewer, or a project demonstration for your school tech fest.
What You'll Learn
- Stream live MJPEG video from the Raspberry Pi camera to a web browser using Flask
- Configure a headless Raspberry Pi server and connect it to Wi‑Fi without a monitor
- Understand multi‑threaded streaming and how to handle concurrent viewers
- Deploy a local web application that runs at boot, ready for real‑world CCTV use

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is ideal for school students (CBSE Class 11‑12, ATL Tinkering Labs) building a computer science or IoT project, B.Tech ECE/EEE students prototyping a final‑year network camera, and hobbyists who want a reliable DIY CCTV server without hunting for parts. If you’re participating in the Smart India Hackathon and need a quick video streaming proof‑of‑concept, this kit gives you a working baseline in an afternoon.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We’ve spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code inside the box to open the AI companion. It knows this exact kit and can guide you step by step. If you need a human, WhatsApp us — real engineers answer.
Can I view the stream from outside my home network?
Out of the box, the stream works on your local Wi‑Fi only. The AI companion includes steps to set up secure remote access if needed.
Does the camera work in low light?
The Pi Zero camera module needs ambient light. For night vision, you can attach an IR‑sensitive camera module later, and the companion will show you how to modify the code.
Will this work with a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5?
This kit is built around the Pi 3 B+ for guaranteed compatibility. The code and camera connector are the same on later Pi models, so you can swap boards later if you need more performance.
Pi 3 Camera Module streams live MJPEG video to browser on local network via Flask.
