How to record video (1080p 30fps) from raspberry pi camera and stream the 'recording in progress' file simultaneously?

0

The objective I am trying to achieve is streaming 1080p video from Raspberry pi camera and record the video simultaneously.

  1. I tried recording the http streaming as source but didn't work on 30fps. A lot of frames were missing and almost got 8fps only.

  2. As a second approach, I am trying to record the file directly from camera and then streaming the "recording in progress/buffer" file. For the same I am trying to use GStreamer. Please suggest if this is good option or should I try any other?

For Recording using GStreamer I used
gst-launch-1.0 -v v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! capsfilter caps="video/x-raw,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=30/1" ! videoflip method=clockwise ! videoflip method=clockwise ! videoconvert ! videorate ! x264enc! avimux ! filesink location=test_video.h264

Result : recorded video shows 1080p and 30fps but frames are dropping heavily.

For Streaming the video buffer I have used UDP in Gstreamer as, gst-launch-1.0 -v v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! capsfilter caps="video/x-raw,width=640,height=480,framerate=30/1" ! x264enc ! queue ! rtph264pay ! udpsink host=192.168.5.1 port=8080

Result: No specific errors on terminal but can't get stream on vlc.

Please suggest the best method here.
