The video surveillance industry is moving rapidly toward higher resolutions and advanced AI analytics, driving the need for more efficient video compression and transmission technologies.
AV1 (AOMedia Video 1), an open-source codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media, delivers significantly higher compression efficiency, better image quality, and reduced bandwidth consumption—making it an ideal standard for the future of video.
While AV1 adoption in the security sector is still in its infancy, with only a few manufacturers offering limited solutions, Sunell is actively advancing AV1-enabled product development.
Sunell has been closely tracking this trend and is already developing AV1-enabled solutions powered by high-performance Novatek SoCs. Our goal is to bring the benefits of AV1 to the global security market, helping customers:
• Reduce storage and network costs for ultra-HD and large-scale deployments
• Deliver smoother remote viewing experiences even under constrained bandwidth
• Lower energy consumption and carbon footprint, contributing to sustainability
• Provide a stronger data foundation for advanced AI video analytics
“We believe that new-generation codecs like AV1 will transform the efficiency and sustainability of video surveillance. Sunell is committed not only to following industry innovations but also to turning them into tangible customer value.”
