Why Is Network Bandwidth Crucial for CCTV Systems?
Bandwidth is the measure of a network’s capacity to transfer data within a specified timeframe, typically denoted in bits per second (bps). It essentially determines the volume of data that can be transmitted over a network connection at any given time. In the realm of CCTV (Closed-Circuit Television) systems, bandwidth plays a pivotal role in facilitating the smooth and uninterrupted transmission of video footage from cameras to monitoring stations or storage devices.
The significance of bandwidth for CCTV systems lies in their reliance on se ..read more

On the MinddogTV podcast, Tom Maggio explains tom Matt Nappo how ProActive is able to storage massive amounts of data more efficiently than any codec could.
Video compression is usually performed through a video codec that works on one or more compression algorithms. Usually video compression is done by removing repetitive images, sounds and/or scenes from a video. For example, a video may have the same background, image or sound played several times or the data displayed/attached with video file is not that important.
