Errors while capturing and downloading images

[matiasbirrell]

Hello, I'm using the client with two raspberry pi 3 and v2 cameras, and ubuntu 16.04.

My goal is to be able to take images at 30 fps for periods of around 3 to 5 minutes at a time, which results in around 6000 images for each camera.

As the images are stored in memory I would think that when the Pi's memory fills up the cpi server will stop responding and errors come up. This happens at around 12 images.

When using a python client I'm able to download images in each iteration but it is much slower and only gets to around 3 fps.

Is this in fact a pi memory issue? Can 30 fps actually be achieved for minutes?

Thanks in advance!
