+# Camera stream
+
+`compressed_vipc.py` connects to a remote device running openpilot, decodes the video streams, and republishes them over VisionIPC. 
+
+## Usage
+
+### On the device 
+SSH into the device and run following in separate terminals:
+
+`cd /data/openpilot/cereal/messaging && ./bridge`
+
+`cd /data/openpilot/system/loggerd && ./encoderd`
+
+`cd /data/openpilot/system/camerad && ./camerad`
+
+Note that both the device and your PC must be on the same openpilot commit.
+
+Alternatively paste this as a single command:
+```
+(
+  cd /data/openpilot/cereal/messaging/
+  ./bridge &
+
+  cd /data/openpilot/system/camerad/
+  ./camerad &
+
+  cd /data/openpilot/system/loggerd/
+  ./encoderd &
+
+  wait
+) ; trap 'kill $(jobs -p)' SIGINT
+```
+Ctrl+C will stop all three processes. 
+
+### On the PC
+Decode the stream with `compressed_vipc.py`:
+
+```cd ~/openpilot/tools/camerastream && ./compressed_vipc.py <ip>```
+
+To actually display the stream, run `watch3` in separate terminal:
+
+```cd ~/openpilot/selfdrive/ui/ && ./watch3```
+
+## compressed_vipc.py usage
+```
+$ python compressed_vipc.py -h
+usage: compressed_vipc.py [-h] [--nvidia] [--cams CAMS] [--silent] addr
+
+Decode video streams and broadcast on VisionIPC
+
+positional arguments:
+  addr         Address of comma three
+
+options:
+  -h, --help   show this help message and exit
+  --nvidia     Use nvidia instead of ffmpeg
+  --cams CAMS  Cameras to decode
+  --silent     Suppress debug output
+```
+
+
+## Example:
+```
+cd ~/openpilot/tools/camerastream && ./compressed_vipc.py comma-ffffffff --cams 0
+cd ~/openpilot/selfdrive/ui/ && ./watch3
+```
