Bandwidth Optimization

What is bandwidth optimization?

Bandwidth optimization is the process of managing and reducing the amount of data transmitted over a network to improve performance, reduce costs, and prevent congestion. In security systems, it ensures that video surveillance streams efficiently without overwhelming network capacity. Techniques like video compression (H.265), adjustable frame rates, and motion-based recording help minimize bandwidth usage while maintaining image quality. Businesses use bandwidth optimization to ensure smooth video streaming, faster data transmission, and reliable connectivity for critical operations.
