I’m working on a project and looking to stream video over WIFI from an OpenMV Cam RT1062 board to an android device. I started with the mjpeg\_streamer.py example file and got that working. That example seems to use a TCP protocol to stream video and I was wondering if there are any video streaming methods that would lower latency such as UDP.

Yes, see the RTSP video streamer:

Examples-\>RPC Library → Web Servers → WiFi RSTP

The code can do UDP or TCP RSTP streaming based on how the client connects to the server.
