H.264. H.265. You’ve heard those terms, and you’ve probably heard of Smart H.265+ as well. But do you know what differentiates these video compression codecs and why you might want to choose one over the other? We’ve put together a quick guide to understanding the benefits.
Save on Storage Costs
When spec’ing a video surveillance system, savvy integrators look for the highest quality of relevant IP video images that is both cost efficient and puts the least amount of strain on the network. An advanced compression codec like H.265 results in a lower bitrate and less need for storage. Dahua’s Smart H.265+ takes this one step further, reducing bitrate drastically.
