I'm going to repurpose a raspberry pi zero (not 2) w as a camera streaming device (actually as a smart doorbell with two way audio).
I'm currently testing with a webcam that has a native mjpeg capture mode, so there is no strain on the cpu, however for my use case a camera like this one would be more suitable.
I see in this locked post that pycamera2 can do mjpeg hardware encoding, would it work with that camera and keep the cpu usage low? (the pi is going to do some other work besides streaming the camera).
