find the device Video0, please re-plug the camera and try again.

sudo apt-get install libjpeg8-dev

sudo apt-get install libv4l-dev

Raspberry Pi and upzip it to /home/pi

8. Open browser and enter the IP address of your Raspberry Pi

for example: 192.168.1.63:8080

You need to change “192.168.1.63” to the exact IP address of your Raspberry Pi. Then you could
see that the Stream will display the image captured by camera.
