Raspberry Pi Camera bandwidth and quality discussion

[mgiara]

Hello everyone!

I've successfully set up RPi Cam Control (running v6.0.28) and have been experimenting with settings here and there.

I'm wondering how I can max out the capabilities of the pi->cam->streaming setup.

After some research, it seems the CPU of the Pi is the main bottleneck.

I'm more than happy to purchase a higher resolution camera, network gear that can handle the bandwidth throughput (Currently using a Nighthawk R7000), and whatever else hardware might need to be upgraded.

Just curious what driver+hardware+settings combo you guys have found to produce the best resolution and at what framerate.

My current settings in the RPi Cam Control interface that I'd like to improve:
Video res: 768x576 (this seems to be the live res)
Preview Quality 8
Everything else more or less default

I know this camera is capable of much higher res than this:

UV4L can do Full HD and other resolutions at full framerate to any browser directly. the minimum bitrate can be choosen via configuration and automatically adapts to the network limits (e.g. internet or LAN):

This is fantastic!
I'll try it out!
