Episode 40- CBR
vs VBR
Introduction
In surveillance and security cameras,
the choice between Constant Bit Rate (CBR) and Variable Bit Rate (VBR) plays a fundamental
role in determining the quality
and efficiency of video streaming. Both CBR and VBR are types of streams available
in IP and analog cameras, each with its own set of advantages and
disadvantages.
What
is Constant Bit Rate (CBR) ⚖️?
CBR (Constant Bit Rate), operates by maintaining
a fixed rate of data
transmission. It ensures a steady stream of information without allowing the rate to deviate
from the preset value.
However, in scenarios involving high motion, CBR may exceed by 5-10% of the set rate. This is a
noteworthy aspect to consider when evaluating CBR for your surveillance needs.
Advantages
of CBR:
One of the primary advantages of CBR is
its ability to provide a consistent
and stable video stream. This is particularly beneficial in applications
where a reliable and continuous feed is essential. 🔄
