What happens to the bitrate in Zipstream during activity in the scene?

In Zipstream technology, the bitrate is intelligently adjusted to preserve crucial details during periods of activity in a scene. This adaptive bitrate management is designed to optimize video quality while reducing bandwidth usage. When significant movements or changes occur in the scene—such as people walking or vehicles passing—the system recognizes the importance of these details and compensates by increasing the bitrate. This ensures that important visual information is not lost, providing a clear and recognizable image.

Conversely, during moments of lesser activity, the system can lower the bitrate, which helps to reduce the overall data transmission without sacrificing quality. By dynamically responding to the needs of the scene, Zipstream effectively balances the trade-offs between video quality and bandwidth efficiency, making it a valuable technology for video surveillance applications where storage and bandwidth resources might be limited.
