Getting the hang of it

So I am on upgrading my cams one by one first one I have got is OEM IPC-T5241H-AS-PV 2mp AI active deterrence cam to act as a camera/intrusion alarm above a door. I have also decided to invest in blue iris its a great program and should of had it 4 years ago instead of messing with hikvisions slow clunky software.

Now I am recording direct to disk and noticed in my cameras web page settings, that I can change the codec to h265, which I believe would be better compression? Would there be any disadvantage of doing this by default its on 264?

blue iris does no support intel hardware decoding using 265
