The H.265 video codec represents the latest type of video compression present today in video surveillance products whose development has been driven by the increasing demand for high definition resolutions, the rapid development of imaging technology and, in particular , by UHD standards that include resolutions such as 4K UHD and 8K UHD.
H265 Practical applications
In modern video surveillance applications, such as commercial companies, public places and large-scale industrial areas, the main goal is to find the perfect link between decoding and data storage. Apparently, the introduction and development of the H.265 standard offers vast possibilities for improvement in the video surveillance industry while also tackling issues such as lack of network bandwidth or the quality of data transmission.
Compared with old coding standards like MPEG and H.264, H.265 can double the data compression ratio, improving the quality of videos with a low bit rate. Also, it supports 4K UHD resolution.
Ultimately, we can say that H.265 is capable of reducing the data rate required to encode high definition video by almost 50%. The same goes for the bitrate, which can be reduced by about 40% compared to FullHD. This enables the IP camera to deliver smooth video with low bandwidth, which in turn leads to a reduction in storage space.
Finally, the H.265 codec offers several benefits for devices using a 4G mobile connection.
The H.265 codec is mainly characterized by the following aspects:
Higher compression efficiency than H.264. With the same resolution, H.265 has a lower bit rate than H.264.
Supports high definition video formats.
It supports 20 to 60 frames per second for video decoding and has the same flexibility as H.264 with a maximum support of 172 fps.
Although H.265 encoding is of recent development, it is already present in many video surveillance products such as IP cameras and NVRs with maximum resolutions supported up to 4K.
