Question: video compression for slow network upload scenario #351

Open brianm-sra opened 2 years ago

brianm-sra commented 2 years ago

Hello,

I tried using mjpg_streamer with an old Raspberry Pi Model B+ V1.2 and a USB camera.

When I connected to my home network using an Ethernet cable, with high upload speed, the video stream was smooth and very good quality.

When I tried using a WIFI connection with slower upload speed, the video stream had noticeable lag / latency issues.

I know I can adjust the FPS and Resolution, but I am wondering if there is also a way to apply "video compression" to make the stream smoother when in a WIFI network environment with slow upload speed ?

Does anyone have any experience with this?
