H.265 Help

[Jake1979]

In my Hikvision cameras, I have enabled H265+, in BI, I've enabled Intel+VPP. Restart of the computer and I go to the web server, right click the video for the camera > Stats for Nerds > and it says H264. What am I doing wrong?


Latest Firefox, latest BI, latest firmware.

maybe camera needs a reboot after change? or it doesnt support 265?

 

[Jake1979]

Cameras support it, states it in the manual and an option in the config. Everything has been restarted.

That Nerds Stat. he's a lying SOB.

The stats for nerds is the stats for UI3, not the stats for the camera. BI is using H264 for the webserver video encoding.

That makes sense. How do I determine the codec in the software?

BI does not support h265+. Just h265. Use intel.
As far as UI3, it only streams h264.

Thanks fenderman, I didn't notice the + after the 265.

To see what the camera is actually doing, on the upper left of the BI console screen click on the graph with the lightning bolt. Then click on the cameras tab. Every camera will be listed along with hardware acceleration and mode, if that's selected for the camera(s) as well as bit rate and iframe rate for both main and sub streams, if you're using sub streams.

So now Hik and Dahua both have products in the realm of h265+? Oh wait Dahua has POE+...duh..........Gonna google the + specs....

Frankly, 265 isn't worth the hype it gets. Maybe 5-10% less disk space than 264.

Don't waste your time googling the specs LOL - the H265+ has been around on these cameas for awhile - we just do not use them with BI...

And +1 on H265 doesn't save as much as the hype. I get literally a few minutes savings over H264.

Thank you, it says under HA: I+

True, but I only have a 1TB drive at the moment, so every bit helps.

 

[sebastiantombs]

I+ means Intel Plus. You need to get a larger hard drive especially if you're recording 24/7. You can also find the help file for BI in that same area where the stats come up from on the console. It'll save you lots of time.

I inherited a 2013 "Eyemax" PC. It had 500 GB drive. WD green 5400 rpm. 16 analog dongles coming off a PCI card. Thats what got me into this fine mess here.
