Hello everyone 🙂

@StephaneB pointed out to me this week that the image quality of the dashboard cameras was a bit low, and I thought he was right! 😄

Until now, the resolution of the “camera” widget was limited to 640 px.

But with the ability to display dashboards in one or two columns, we can now have a very wide camera widget, and 640 px is clearly insufficient.

After some testing, doubling the resolution seems like a good compromise to me: we’d move to **1280 px** (for the longest side of the image).

Even with this resolution, the generated JPEG images remain lightweight (~50 KB on average), which is perfectly acceptable.

This change also improves the quality of images sent via the Gladys chat, notably in Telegram. However, it does **not** impact images sent to ChatGPT, because the resolution there is limited by OpenAI.

I opened a PR for this improvement:

What do you think? 😊
