Avigilon HDSM SmartCodec: broadband management technology

New technology reduces camera bandwidth, maintaining optimal image quality and reducing storage requirements.

Avigilon has increased the bandwidth efficiency of its cameras with the introduction of HDSM SmartCodec technology. It automatically detects activity levels across multiple zones of a scene to optimize compression levels and reduce bandwidth and storage consumption, while maintaining high image detail of the areas that matter most.

When HDSM SmartCodec technology is activated, bandwidth can be reduced by up to one 50% compared to H.264 compression standard.

“With HDSM SmartCodec technology, Customers can reduce bandwidth and storage needs, without sacrificing image detail. In combination with Scene Idle mode and High Definition Stream Management technology, Avigilon provides optimal bandwidth management across the entire system, from the camera to the server and the client", explains James Henderson, Director of Sales and Marketing at Avigilon.

H4A cameras, H4 EN, H4 PTZ and H4 SL include HDSM SmartCodec technology, and a free download firmware is available for previously installed cameras.
