I suspect that a lot of camera problems (like frame drops or image breakups) are a result of the camera being overloaded / having insufficient CPU / RAM for a given task. The problem is cameras do not typically show these stats. Even though most are Linux computers, there's no equivalent of a top or free command.
Does anyone know of any camera manufacturers that have an option to show real time resource utilization either as a screen overlay or a readout on their web interface?
I think it would be very useful for troubleshooting.
