Technology Overview

Efficient Compression for Modern Video Systems

AV1 (AOMedia Video 1) is an open video codec designed for efficient delivery and storage of high-quality video.

For compatible surveillance deployments, AV1 provides an additional compression option for managing increasing video resolution, network traffic and recording workloads.

Its role is focused on video compression efficiency across the video path, from encoding and transmission to recording and playback.

How It Works

Encoding, Transmission and Storage

AV1 applies advanced video coding techniques to reduce redundant data before video is transmitted or stored.
Advanced Video Encoding

Advanced Video Encoding

AV1 analyzes video information and reduces redundant data while retaining the visual information required for viewing and recording.

Efficient Video Transmission

Efficient Video Transmission

Efficient encoded streams can help reduce network traffic between compatible cameras, recording systems and viewing endpoints.

Optimized Video Storage

Optimized Video Storage

More efficient compression can reduce recorded data volumes under comparable conditions and improve use of available storage capacity.

Core Capabilities

Key Benefits for Video Infrastructure

AV1 can support different system design priorities where efficient video handling is required.

Bandwidth Efficiency

Helps reduce bandwidth requirements for compatible encoded video streams.

Storage Efficiency

Helps reduce recorded data volumes and make more efficient use of storage resources.

High-Resolution Video

Designed for efficient handling of modern high-quality and high-resolution video.

Scalable Video Systems

Supports efficient resource planning as camera counts and video workloads increase.

System Architecture

AV1 Across the Video Workflow

A compatible video system can carry AV1 from camera-side encoding through network transmission, recording and viewing.
System Compatibility

Compression as Part of the Complete Video Path

AV1 is one codec option within a broader surveillance architecture. The appropriate codec depends on system requirements and compatibility across encoding, recording, playback and viewing components.

AV1: High-efficiency video compression for compatible video workflows.

H.265: Efficient compression widely used in current high-resolution surveillance systems.

H.264: Broadly supported across devices, software platforms and existing infrastructure.

System: SupportVerify the camera, recorder, VMS and viewing endpoint for the intended configuration.

FAQ

AV1 Video Compression FAQ

Q What is AV1?

A

AV1, or AOMedia Video 1, is an open video codec designed to provide efficient compression of high-quality video.

A

Efficient compression can help manage bandwidth and storage requirements as video resolution, camera counts and recording workloads increase.

A

Not necessarily. Codec selection depends on compression requirements, device support, software compatibility and the overall system architecture.

A

No. AV1 availability depends on the specific product model, configuration and firmware version. Refer to current product documentation for supported video codecs.

A

Components that need to decode, record, play back or display the AV1 stream must provide the required support. Compatibility should be verified across the intended video workflow.

A

More efficient compression can reduce recorded data volumes under comparable conditions. Actual storage requirements depend on resolution, frame rate, bitrate, scene complexity and recording configuration.

A

Confirm the exact camera model, firmware version, stream settings, recorder or VMS capability, and the viewing or playback environment for the intended deployment.
