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. 🔄
