Frequently asked questions
What is H.265 in IP cameras?
H.265 (HEVC) is a video compression standard offering ~50% better compression than H.264. A 4K H.265 stream uses approximately the same bandwidth as a 1080p H.264 stream. Most modern Hikvision, Dahua, and Axis cameras support H.265+/H.265.
Do I need an H.265 NVR for H.265 cameras?
Yes — your NVR, VMS, or playback software must support H.265 decoding to play H.265 streams. Blue Iris 5+, Synology Surveillance Station, Milestone XProtect, and most modern NVRs support H.265. Older software may fall back to H.264 sub-streams.
