Question

What is the difference between video coding H264 and H265 (Bosch cameras)?

Answer

H.264 (also known as AVC, Advanced Video Coding) and H.265 (also known as HEVC, High Efficiency Video Coding) are both video compression standards, but they differ significantly in terms of compression efficiency, quality, and computational requirements

H.265 provides better compression efficiency, it requires more processing power to encode and decode video, meaning that it may not be the best choice for older or less powerful devices. H. 264, on the other hand, requires less processing power, making it more efficient on older or less powerful devices.

Sensor Mode can be changed depending on the camera.

Other devices can also be set to H.265 or H.264 encoding!

H.264:

• H.264 offers good compression efficiency, reducing the size of video files while maintaining quality. It has been the industry standard for many years and is widely used in streaming, and other applications.

H.265:

• H.265 offers approximately 50% better compression efficiency compared to H.264. This means that videos encoded with H.265 can achieve the same quality as H.264 but at half the file size, or higher quality at the same file size. This efficiency is particularly beneficial for 4K and higher resolutions.
