Reply to "P2P spycam"

Part of my living is video related. I laugh when I see people stricky use the frame rate as a reference to quality. The overall image is really a factor of three things. 

The processor power to encode the video. The compression within the video format. ( Number of I,P frame pictures producing the image. This can vary depending on the camera. So, A camera with plenty of CPU horsepower set to use no compression in which all P frames are displayed will ultimately have a better picture quality at a given frame rate. But, like everything else in life - the computer decoding horsepower is also a factor. You might be surprise how many new base computers with minimal capabilities would have issues with 30fps image at 1080p

with low compression. The computer itself creates lag in the video. So, sort of a crap shoot. When minimal specs are supplied. Yes, the network is another issue!

Most of the 4K stuff today with high resolution and fps requires the use of decoding via the video card. Where the h264 or h265 is offloaded to the video card. Especially the case when many hi resolution images need to be displayed 

The cam quality of this cam is like the Lionel caboose cam. A matter of fact. That cam is probably a stripped down version.

i absolutely agree,  I would love mjpeg video at 30fps! But, really how much will I use this thing?  I need to connect via Microsoft vlc to see what that actual stream looks like. If I can determine the stream profile using wireshark.
