About vidgear
VidGear is an open-source Python framework for reading, writing, processing, sending, and receiving video from files, cameras, network streams, and screens. It provides a multi-threaded and asyncio API layered over libraries including OpenCV, FFmpeg, ZeroMQ, picamera2, and yt_dlp. The project is hosted as a GitHub repository.
Its components, called Gears, are grouped by function: video capture, video writing, and streaming.
