Hi,

it is probably easiest to emulate an IP camera with a server that streams a video. I appended some code that does that, of course you can also start multiple servers with different videos.

@LeonLok Since the question came up multiple times, should I make a pull request with this code? I also have a conda environment file that I could push.

import cv2
import imagezmq
import socket

def create_streamer(file, connect_to="tcp://127.0.0.1:5555", loop=True):

    sender = imagezmq.ImageSender(connect_to=connect_to)
    host_name = socket.gethostname()

    cap = cv2.VideoCapture(file)
    ret, frame = cap.read()

    while True:
        sender.send_image(host_name, frame)
        ret, frame = cap.read()

        if loop and not ret:
            cap = cv2.VideoCapture(file)
            ret, frame = cap.read()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    streamer = create_streamer("video.mp4")

Hi @wnklmx, yes I think that's how I would do it too, it certainly seems the easiest given the structure of the code.

Please feel free to do a pull request and I'll have a look :)
