Camera Feed in Rust

Live Camera Feed with Rust

Use the Wendy camera template when you want a browser-viewable camera stream without wiring the project from scratch. The template includes wendy.json, camera entitlements, a Dockerfile, Rust backend code, and the browser UI.

Prerequisites

Wendy CLI installed on your development machine
Rust 1.83 or later installed
A WendyOS device with a USB camera connected

Setting Up Your Project

Initialize the Project

wendy init rust-camera --target wendyos --language rust --template camera-feed --var APP_ID=rust-camera --var PORT=4003 --assistant skip --git-init no
cd rust-camera

The generated project is ready to run. After the first run, use the sections below as a code breakdown when you want to understand or customize camera handling, routes, or UI behavior.

Run on WendyOS

wendy run

Wendy will build the app, ask you to select a device if one is not already configured, deploy the container, and print the app URL.

Code Breakdown

Open the app URL from the Wendy run output to view the stream.
