My medium story contains the following:

• The detailed tutorial on how to build this app from scratch.
• How to customize the app for your own needs.
• Instructions to follow.
• Troubleshooting tips.

Prerequisistes

• Webcam/ IP camera

• A server machine and a client machine (smartphone, pc, etc.) connected to the same network.

  pip install Flask

  pip install opencv-python-headless

  pip install aiortc

To run

• Server Side
  

  git clone https://github.com/supersjgk/LiveStream-WebRTC-Flask-OpenCV
  

  cd src
  

  python server.py OR python3 server.py

• Client Side
  To view the live stream from a Server's webcam/IP camera in a client machine, simply open a web browser and type http://127.0.0.1:<port>/ (client on same machine) OR http://<server_IP_address>:<port>/ (client on different machine).

Note

• Camera access should be enabled on Server
• Client machine should be connected to the same network as the server machine.
• Set host and port according to your needs. Port should not be running any other processes (details to fix conflicting ports in story)
