  1. Image Raspberry Pi with 2019-04-08-raspbian-stretch.zip here using Balena Etcher.

  2. Power the Raspberry Pi, open the terminal, and run sudo raspi-config. Select "Enable Camera" and "Expand Filesystem". **Nik - I remember these options were buried a bit, please make these directions a bit clearer with screenshots if you can

  3. Install the Raspicam (uv4l) driver with:

    wget http://www.linux-projects.org/listing/uv4l_repo/lrkey.asc && sudo apt-key add ./lrkey.asc

  4. Add the following line to the file /etc/apt/sources.list:

    sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list

    deb http://www.linux-projects.org/listing/uv4l_repo/raspbian/ wheezy stretch

  5. Run the following commands:

    sudo apt-get update

    sudo apt-get upgrade

    sudo apt-get install uv4l uv4l-raspicam

    sudo apt-get install uv4l-raspicam-extras

    sudo apt-get install uv4l-server

    sudo apt-get install uv4l-uvc

    sudo apt-get install uv4l-xscreen

    sudo apt-get install uv4l-mjpegstream

    sudo reboot

**Nik - I remember not all these commands being necessary, but I do not remember which were invalid - please delete the ones that do not work

  1. Start the streaming server:

    sudo uv4l -nopreview --auto-video_nr --driver raspicam --encoding mjpeg --width 1920 --height 1080 --framerate 30 --server-option '--port=9090' --server-option '--max-queued-connections=30' --server-option '--max-streams=25' --server-option '--max-threads=29

  2. To view the video feed, open the terminal and run ifconfig to determine your Raspberry Pi's local IP address and type it into a browser: http://some_ip_address

Change whatever you see fit Nik to make this as accurate as we can
