Samsung's new firmware for your IP network cameras reduces bandwidth consumption

Samsung Techwin has made an update to its firmware to reduce the bandwidth and video storage requirements of its IP network cameras, domes and encoders.

The software engineering team of Samsung Techwin has designed some improvements in its version of the H.264 image compression method, that reduce the bit rate required to transmit high-quality images from your high-definition cameras.

"Before our Full HD models of 3 Megapixels needed a bit rate of 10 Mbps, now they only require 3 Mbps to ensure that there are no latency issues or distortions affecting video quality when users have configured cameras to capture images at the highest possible resolution.", comments Tim Biddulph, IP Product Manager for Samsung Techwin Europe Ltd.

This reduction in speed means that a lower bandwidth consumption is required for a video surveillance system to be effective.. In addition, dynamically adjusts transmission bit rate and compression settings based on the level of activity captured by the camera.

"There is no need to transmit high-quality images of an empty building or a parking lot at night.. However, when activity occurs, it must be transmitted. Our firmware update automatically takes this into account and adjusts the camera settings, achieving a more effective and efficient use of available bandwidth", clarifies Tim Biddulph.

The update of this firmware is operational in almost all The IP network camera of Samsung Techwin and can be downloaded for free from the web page manufacturer's.
