H.264+ Smart Codec vs H.264
Observation
- How much bandwidth does Dahua's new H.264+ Smart Codec save compared to H.264?
- What are the shortcomings, if any, to using H.264+ Smart Codec?
- What equipment is required to take advantage of H.264+ Smart Codec?
Hypothesis
H.264+ Smart Codec will be more efficient than H.264. I expect a reduction of 20-50% in bandwidth over H.264.
Experiment
Setup
- Storage: Video files were stored on the Micro-SD card of the camera, and these are averages of several 8 minute recordings. This experiment was conducted by recording under these video conditions:
- Network: The use of Solar Winds Real-Time bandwidth monitor was used to track network traffic of the camera over SNMPv2 protocol to monitor data passed through the devices Ethernet port. Two devices were viewing the main from the device and the total was averaged.
- Still Scene: a scene where there were no moving objects or lighting changes.
- Moving Scene: a spinning wheel used for LPR was run that occupied approximately 1/15.5 of the screen.
