Currently facing issues with camera latency (~1 second delay) on the BlueROV2. Seems to be a processing speed on the ROV side rather than QGC since we tested on lower spec laptops and high spec PCs - only noteworthy thing is that all were running windows 7.

On the current version, what are is the best realistic latency on the installed camera? Which options/software/hardware influence this the most?

Ideally need the latency under 250ms. Any suggestions appreciated!

You should use Windows 10. Windows 7 is not supported and this poor behavior can be expected on Windows 7.
