If your camera and recording software support H.265 (HEVC), enable it. It delivers the same, or better, image quality as H.264 while using up to 50% less bandwidth.
In the world of security and remote monitoring, the phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words" is an understatement. When you check on your home, business, or pet via a network camera (netcam), a blurry, laggy, or pixelated live image is not just frustrating—it’s a security risk.
If your camera offers "Smart Codec," use it. This technology keeps the background static (blurry to save data) but keeps the moving subject (a person or car) razor-sharp.
