Akaso v50 Streaming – in Linux

Yes, it’s possible to set up WiFi streaming with the Akaso V50 series cameras! You’ll need to use the AKASO GO app, which allows you to control your camera remotely, preview live footage, and even stream content.

To connect your camera to WiFi:

1. Turn on the camera and activate WiFi mode by pressing the appropriate button or tapping the WiFi icon.
2. The camera will display its WiFi name and password on the screen.
3. Connect your smartphone to the camera’s WiFi network using the provided credentials.
4. Open the AKASO GO app, add your device, and select “Live Preview” to start streaming.

Streaming the Akaso V50 to Linux is possible, but it requires some setup. The camera can be used as a webcam by connecting it via USB and setting it to “PC Camera” mode. Once connected, Linux should recognize it as a UVC (Universal Video Class) device, allowing you to use it with applications like OBS Studio or VLC Media Player.

For detailed instructions, you can check out this that explains how to set up live streaming with the Akaso V50 Pro. Additionally, forums like provide insights and tips from users who have successfully used action cameras on Linux.

WiFi streaming to Linux is possible, but it depends on the specific setup and tools you use. For instance, you can use software like OBS Studio or VLC Media Player to stream content over a network. If you’re looking to stream from a device like the Akaso V50, you might need to use its WiFi capabilities to connect to your Linux machine and then configure the streaming software to capture the feed.

Some users have also had success with tools like Gnome Network Displays for wireless display connections on Linux. However, compatibility can vary depending on your Linux distribution and the device you’re streaming from.

Gnome Network Displays is a tool that allows you to stream your screen or media wirelessly to compatible devices using the Miracast protocol. Here’s how you can use it:

1. Install Gnome Network Displays:
   • On most Linux distributions, you can install it via the terminal. For example, on Ubuntu, use:bash

     sudo apt install gnome-network-displays

2. Launch the Application:
   • Open the app from your applications menu or by typing gnome-network-displays in the terminal.
3. Connect to a Display:
   • Once the app is running, it will scan for available Miracast-compatible devices (like smart TVs or wireless display adapters).
   • Select the device you want to connect to from the list.
4. Start Streaming:
   • After selecting the device, your screen or media should start streaming wirelessly.

Keep in mind that the success of the connection depends on your hardware and the compatibility of your Linux distribution. Let me know if you’d like help troubleshooting or exploring alternatives!
