AI Coding

Clearer Target, Lower Bitrate

What is AI Coding?

As video moves toward high definition, how to save storage costs while maintaining image quality
has become one of the users’ concerns. Dahua AI Coding puts emphasis on human and vehicle
while encoding, ensuring the target image quality while saving 50% bandwidth and storage costs
compared with H.265.
*The AI Coding function is enabled by default in the newest firmware version.

• Saves 50% bandwidth and storage costs
compared with standard H.265.

*The abovementioned bit rate is based on XVR settings. In the analog system, the preview video is the original bit stream. But the IP system video
needs to be encoded and decoded. Thus, the default bit rate of IPC only achieves 25% saving compared to H.265, ensuring excellent image quality.
