I have created a Real-time camera server using the Raspberry PI and I can access the live feed through the static IP address of Raspberry Pi over the LAN. But I want to create something like:

  1. When the Raspberry PI is turned on, it will have a Wi-Fi name.
  2. When I open my mobile phone Wi-Fi setting and search for Wi-Fi available there will be displayed the Raspberry PI name and after clicking on the Raspberry PI name I have to enter the password and then after connecting to Raspberry PI, I will be able to view live feed through Mobile app or in a browser(Which will be I think basically accessed through the IP address of Raspberry PI after connecting to it).

I am not able to find a way to achieve the first and second steps? Any guide or tutorial link Please share.

I am also searching but couldn't find it as I don't know its proper term.

I have configured my raspberry pi to something like you said.

I will be able to view live feed through Mobile app or in a browser

The motion is here for you. It has a web interface that you can see the camera's stream in real-time.

  1. When the Raspberry PI is turned on, it will have a Wi-Fi name.

Make a wifi hotspot for the raspberry pi. You can do it simply by following the procedure on this link:

Setting up a Raspberry Pi as a Wireless Access Point

After that, the raspberry pi has a "Wi-Fi name" as you mentioned, and your clients (PC, Smartphone, iOS, Android, etc)

In conclusion, after all of this two sections you can connect to raspberry pi's SSID (Wifi name) and open a web page to see the real-time streams.

I have an idea to make your project better. You can configure the raspberry pi to show the camera web page to clients exactly after they connect to the raspberry pi's hotspot. To do that, follow this answer's procedures.
