Usually said as H’dot’265, it is a video compression codec. Meaning when raw video footage is taken, it goes through a compression process (similar to a zip or rar file)\u00a0but done on the fly and then processed as a stream to send through to the NVR. The more you can compress, the less storage space you need for the same amount of data and, the less bandwidth it will use on your network. It may seem like a small deal, but as this compression technology gets better you can imagine remotely viewing into your home in 4k quality on your mobile phone. H.265 is also referred to as HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding).<\/p>\n

You may have heard of H.265 IP Cameras and wondered what the difference is with the H.264 IP cameras in the market now.<\/strong><\/h3>\nH.265 compressed video is upto\u00a0half the size if H.264 video. So if your existing cameras do 15 days of recording on 1 Hard Disk, you would be able to now store 30 days on that same space.<\/p>\n
For H.265 IP cameras however, the main advantage is the image quality. We can stream double the quality in the same bandwidth. Meaning your recordings will be so much clearer. CCTV cameras are used for safety and security so being able to see in high definition will make it easier to recognise people, number plates, etc. Its so common that a crime is committed and\u00a0if the place was equipped with analog cameras, they were unable to identify the perpetrator.<\/p>\n
Another advantage is that you can view your cameras remotely on your mobile phone and it now takes only half your 3G \/ 4G internet bandwidth to view the same quality stream.<\/p>\n
