H.264 Technology: It’s the bitrate! H.264 is getting so much attention because it can encode video with approximately 3 times fewer bits than comparable MPEG-2 encoders. Because H.264 is up to twice as efficient as MPEG-4 Part 2 (natural video) encoding, it has recently been welcomed into the MPEG-4 standard […]
The resolution is the number of pixels that “MAY” be displayed, not that “ARE” displayed. Therefore, you should think of resolution as a piece of graph paper. All you have to start with is a bunch of empty boxes; which would equate to pixels. This is the true definition of […]
The best way to keep your DVR or your PC working properly is to perform periodic preventative maintenance. The greatest threat to any computer is heat. Since a DVR runs 24 hours a day, every day, the heat buildup is significant. Most DVR’s operate in inhospitable environments and are not […]

In order to compensate for extreme motion, whether it is from the movement of a camera or just plain old fast moving objects, bitrates are elevated to extreme levels to try to introduce as much information into the image as possible. Unfortunately, massive bitrates means massive file sizes and subsequent […]
So if all things are equal (which is rarely the case) a higher bitrate image with a higher resolution “may” produce a higher quality image than a lower bitrate image with a lower resolution. Once we have determined bitrate the next primary factor to consider is the Codec being applied […]
