Camera Streamer As A Service Memory Leak

Exactly. The comment you mention says that network camera are running there own code and publishing their data already. This sample only starts non-networked cameras.

Here is a sample that you can use for your sender:


import pyzed.sl as sl


def main():
    # Create a Camera object
    zed = sl.Camera()

    # Create a InitParameters object and set configuration parameters
    init_params = sl.InitParameters()
    init_params.camera_resolution = sl.RESOLUTION.HD1080  # Use HD1080 video mode
    init_params.camera_fps = 30  # Set fps at 30

    # Open the camera
    err = zed.open(init_params)
    if err != sl.ERROR_CODE.SUCCESS:
        print("Camera Open : "+repr(err)+". Exit program.")
        exit()

    ip = "192.168.1.50"
    port = "300005"

    communication_parameters = sl.CommunicationParameters()
    communication_parameters.setForLocalNetwork(port, ip)

    zed.start_publishing(communication_parameters)


    # Capture 50 frames and stop
    i = 0
    image = sl.Mat()
    runtime_parameters = sl.RuntimeParameters()
    while True:
        # Grab an image, a RuntimeParameters object must be given to grab()
        if zed.grab(runtime_parameters) == sl.ERROR_CODE.SUCCESS:
            # A new image is available if grab() returns SUCCESS
            zed.retrieve_image(image, sl.VIEW.LEFT)
            timestamp = zed.get_timestamp(sl.TIME_REFERENCE.CURRENT)  # Get the timestamp at the time the image was captured
            print("Image resolution: {0} x {1} || Image timestamp: {2}\n".format(image.get_width(), image.get_height(),
                  timestamp.get_milliseconds()))
            i = i + 1

    # Close the camera
    zed.close()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

The solution from Benj was a workaround, not the recommended stuff.
