You can stream video from an AWS DeepLens camera<\/a> over wi-fi. To do this on Windows, first, get mplayer from here:
\nhttps:\/\/sourceforge.net\/projects\/mplayerwin\/?source=typ_redirect<\/a><\/p>\n

Then, determine the IP address of your DeepLens camera, enable SSH, and ssh in once once to avoid this:<\/p>\n

The authenticity of host '192.168.1.187 (192.168.1.187)' can't be established.\nECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:sbKJiQl8IjGJ+X\/hWekzBK8CxR\/gCHR6qJfsq6JYHZY.\nAre you sure you want to continue connecting (yes\/no)? yes\n<\/pre>\n
You can then run the following commands to stream the video – the first command is the video before the ML algorithm hits it, and the second is after. If you don’t have SSH keys set up, you will be prompted for a password. The password prompt is rendered in the midst of the mplayer output, which can be a bit confusing.<\/p>\n
To stop this, copy a key:<\/p>\n
ssh-copy-id -i ~\/.ssh\/id_rsa aws_cam@192.168.1.187\n<\/pre>\n
Once you authenticate, it will take a few seconds to catch up, and spits out a lot of errors while this happens. For me, the video is also ~5 seconds behind.<\/p>\n
ssh aws_cam@192.168.1.187 cat \/opt\/awscam\/out\/ch1_out.h264 | \/d\/software\/mplayer\/mplayer.exe -xy 800 \u2013demuxer lavf -cache 8092 - \n\nssh aws_cam@$ip_address cat \/tmp\/\\*results.mjpeg |\n  \/d\/software\/mplayer\/mplayer.exe \u2013demuxer lavf -cache 8092 -lavfdopts format=mjpeg:probesize=32 -\n<\/pre>\n
