VGA resolution is .3MP or 640 pixels horizontally x 480 pixels vertically per frame of video.

720p resolution is 1 megapixel or 1280 pixels horizontally x 720 pixels horizontally per frame of video.

4K resolution is 8 megapixels or 3840 pixels horizontally x 2160 pixels vertically per frame of video.

1080p resolution is 2 megapixels or 1920 pixels horizontally x 1080 pixels vertically per frame of video.

AXIS Zipstream technology preserves all the important forensic detail you need, while lowering bandwidth and storage requirements by an average of 50% or more.

Unlike most compression technology, Zipstream doesn’t just limit bitrate. Instead, three kinds of intelligent algorithms ensure that relevant forensic information is identified, recorded and sent in full resolution and at full frame rate.

In other words, our proprietary Dynamic ROI, Dynamic GOP and Dynamic FPS work together in real-time to preserve faces, tattoos or license plate numbers and more.

The result? With Zipstream, you keep the resolution and the frame rate, and still store a whole lot less. So you save space – and money – without sacrificing valuable information.

Codec is an amalgam of the words compression & decompression. Compression is the process of reducing bandwidth and storage consumption.

Because each frame of recorded video contains many of the pixels that were in the previous frame, codecs compress video by only recording the pixels that changed between frames thereby reducing bandwidth consumption and processing power.
