IP surveillance is developing at exceedingly high rates. Today we can say with certainty that the future of video surveillance is in IP systems. IP cameras are becoming more sophisticated; they include ever more new features. For example, many of today's IP cameras can transmit two video streams with different video parameters and compressed in different codecs.
Axxon Smart PRO supports this feature, which allows taking advantage of this feature of IP equipment to optimize the CPU load on the video server and the client workstation. For example, if the camera can transmit video streams in both MJPEG and H.264 formats, it is wise to use the H.264 stream for archiving, because it has a greater degree of compression, and the MJPEG stream for viewing on the workstation screen, since it is easier to decompress. Also, depending on the task, different frame rates can be configured for different streams.
