They used to encode with h264. I set up a rig 2 years ago with the goal for using that but just couldn’t source cameras at a decent price that use the olde codec. It’s actually pretty difficult to find that anymore. Also, they need to decode streams for processing for things like object detection. That doesn’t work without decoding being done on each stream first.
I am open to being wrong on this I just want to be certain before I get to the spending money stage. Can you show me where you got that information?
I checked the specs on 5 modern, newly released IP cameras. They all use h264/h265, aka AVC1 and HVEC. Not surprising, cause that's part of the spec.
I'm angrily going to go look because you've introduced doubt in my mind. And I don't like not knowing.
