Abstract: A system and method to optimize video streaming of a plurality of USB cameras streaming via a bulk interface of a universal serial bus (USB), the system comprising a host unit communicating on universal serial bus (USB) via the bulk interface, a throughput analyzer computer program residing in the host unit, at least a USB Camera with a varying throughput, a dynamically programmable image sensor varies a throughput of the USB camera, a throughput control block of the USB camera receives input from the throughput analyzer computer program and adjusts the throughput of the camera, the USB controller regulates a transmission of USB packet buffers from each of the USB Camera to the host unit. The method comprises assessing by the throughput analyzer computer program of the universal serial bus utilization by the host unit by including all connected devices, and includes selectively dropping a plurality of data packet/frames.
