It depends. I have many questions.

No.

1. Why does it need to be displayed in a web browser (as opposed to more appropriate / better performing software specifically built for video)?
2. via what interface/library is the camera connected to the machine? What format/codec is the uncompressed stream you're getting from the camera?
3. I am available at very reasonable consulting rates
Thanks.
1. It is part of a bigger web-browser dashboard/control interface and this camera display is just one component among many others.
2. Some of the (USB) cameras can have proprietary interfaces such as https://www.ximea.com/support/wiki/apis/python
How would you do in this situation, to have the video stream in the browser, with as low CPU usage as possible?
