Octoprint and FullHD struggles #778

So while waiting for the next release to have the CR10Max profile, i'm trying to beef up the video quality on the webcam stream (I'm using a Sandberg USB Webcam Pro [SKU 133-95] which supports 1080p30, and got a wyze cam 2 for later). However anything above 640*480 results in the stream quickly loosing "sync" (realtime display of where the nozzle actually is), and obviously the quality sucks that way, not even pretty good then for TSD. It sometimes even results in usb camera connection loss.

Now i've been looking into this thing called "MotionEyeOS". I don't mind having to pick up a few more Pi's, MotionEye seems to support multiple camera's. Ideally i'd love to have a SMOOTH 1080p webcam stream (either when connected directly to the Rpi4B running octoprint, or via a second Rpi for motioneye server and one for the usb camera host)

Can anyone tell me what i need to do to get smooth 1080p30 quality so i can get good timelapses. My perfect scenario would be to use the WyzeCam v2 with auto-night vision, as long as its not that crappy purple hue. I checked out https://community.octoprint.org/t/wyze-cam-v2-and-octoprint-as-of-12jan2021/27081/11 but it seems a pretty dead topic
