H264 compression on 720 system and 1080N system.

Recommended Posts

H264 compression video compression on 720 system and 1080N system. They both say H264 video compression so is the quality of the recorded video the same as both are H264 or is the video from the 1080N system better?

It all depends on the camera.

720p system can work with 1mpx camera only (720p comression)

1080N system can work with 2mpx camera (1080N compression) and 1mpx (720p comression)

For 2mpx AHD cameras you cannot select 720p compression only 1080 or 1080N

1080N is better than 720p regardless of compression.

1080 better than 1080N

Thanks for the reply.  I did not know there were two 1080 types but I ended up with a 1080N version which is not the best.

Anyway I am pleased with the purchase and the 1080P AHD cameras are much better than my old 720 type cameras at night.

Thanks for the information.
