Adaptive streaming & quality controls
Utilizing modern codecs within the software to ensure that the 8080 stream remains fluid even during high-motion events.
To achieve the "High Quality" output without dropping frames, I had to tweak the JPEG compression settings. By default, WebcamXP can be a bit aggressive with compression to save CPU cycles. I found the sweet spot by limiting the frame rate to 15fps but bumping the quality slider up to 90%. This keeps the CPU load minimal on the host machine but ensures the feed on 8080 is crisp enough to read license plates or fine text at a distance.
