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.

Episode 36- Define Stream and its Types in Camera Systems

 

Introduction

In the dynamic landscape of surveillance technology, Stream plays a pivotal role in ensuring efficient data transmission and real-time monitoring. Let's delve into the core of what stream means in the context of surveillance, exploring its types, significance, and the role it plays in the seamless flow of compressed data.

What is Stream?

In surveillance, a "stream" is the compressed form of data—be it video, audio, or a combination of both. The essence lies in the need to condense vast amounts of data for efficient transmission and utilization across devices.
