What is H.265?

High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), also known as “H.265” and “MPEG-H Part 2”, is a video compression standard, one of the several potential successors to the widely used AVC (H.264 or MPEG-4 Part 10). In comparison to AVC, HEVC offers double the data compression ratio at the same level of video quality or substantially improved video quality at the same bitrate, supporting resolutions up to 8192x432 and 8K UHD.

 

Identifying Supported IP Video Devices

Digital Watchdog’s Integration List lays out supported IP Video Devices across over 1,200 different manufacturers.

• If a device you are looking for is not on the supported device list, feel free to test the device on your own.
• If DW Spectrum does not support H.265 natively, try adding the device to the Server with RTSP.
