Today, video technologies are rapidly evolving. Security cameras, digital broadcasts, and online video platforms offer increasingly high-resolution content. This is where video compression technologies come into play to ensure both high-quality and compact images. H.265 is one of the most advanced of these technologies.
What is H.265 (HEVC)?
H.265, also known as HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) , is an improved version of H.264.
-
It uses 40-50% less storage space while providing the same image quality.
-
It processes higher resolution videos (4K, 8K) more efficiently.
-
It consumes less bandwidth when transferring video over the Internet.
Thanks to these features, H.265 has become rapidly widespread in both security camera systems and the digital media industry.
Advantages of H.265
🔹 High Compression Ratio: Uses almost half less storage space than H.264.
🔹 High Resolution Support: It can record and transmit 4K and 8K video contents smoothly.
🔹 Less Bandwidth: Provides smooth video streaming even at low internet speeds.
🔹 Long-Term Recording: Provides longer-term image storage with the same hard disk capacity.
Where is H.265 Used?
H.265 technology is used in many areas:
-
🎥 Security Camera Systems: For storage efficiency of high-resolution CCTV cameras.
-
📺 Digital Broadcasting: For higher quality video streaming on platforms such as Netflix, YouTube, Blu-ray.
-
📱 Mobile Applications: For smooth video streaming on phones and tablets, even with low internet speeds.
-
🎮 Game Broadcasting: To deliver high quality live broadcasts with low data usage.
Difference Between H.265 and H.264
-
H.265 provides 40-50% more efficient storage than H.264.
-
H.264 generally works well up to Full HD , while H.265 is ideal for resolutions of 4K and above .
-
H.265 requires more advanced hardware support , so it may not work on older devices.
