Note: For maximum compatibility when accessing your camera in a web browser or third party
applications, our H.265 compatible products will be factory defaulted to H.264 but for increased
performance, the camera's settings can be upgraded to H.265 compression. H.265 provides a
more advanced technology than H.264 and allows the device to reduce file size which ultimately
helps to reduce required bandwidth without sacrificing frames per second or resolution. To
activate H.265 compression, click on the H.265 Auto Switch to switch the camera to H.265
compression.
For more information on H.265 compression, please refer to section, “How to Provide Optimal
Performance Using H.265 and Bitrate”
Please note, H.265 compression is only compatible with 4000 series and above NVRs and may
not be applicable to certain devices such as 2000 series or below NVRs.
