  • I want close to real time display of the photos i shoot through a service I am planning to build. Once the file is on the FTP, the rest will be managed within seconds. The camera -> FTP transfer will be the big bottleneck here.

    5 minutes delay of the upload is not a problem, but if I shoot bursts of shots faster than the average upload time over an hour or two, then I will end up with a 40 minute delay from shot to display on the service, which is not acceptable in my use case.

    So one file taking 20 seconds to upload is not an issue if it is just one shot. But a burst of 8 shots taking 2 minutes will inevitably cause a queue wich will degrade the perceived quality of the service.

    For this reason I believe a USB-C tether to a device with a high speed 4G/5G/LTE connection responsible for uploading the files is the best option.

    The question is just, what does this box contain? How do I build that box to ensure the cellular connection, which I can not improve, is the transfer bottleneck?

    Oh, most certainly not. I completely agree with your statement. It is a really unnecessary monument of capitalism where the owner of the building company owns the top floor as his own apartment or something like that.

    But it looks cool 🙂

    I’m glad you liked it!

    I was having dinner outside watching the sun set over the city with my girlfriend. She noticed the colors in the reflections in the building. I have been trying to encourage her to get into photography, so I handed her the camera to take the shot. She managed to capture it really well!

    The colors might be a bit exaggerated in post processing, but it is a great shot none the less!
