Brickcom announces i-Stream technology

Brickcom Corporation, an IP surveillance solution provider, announced the latest technology – i-Stream. Brickcom i-Stream technology aims to help users to allocate the bandwidth smartly and effectively as well as save storage space.

As more and more surveillance consumers seek for superior IP camera technologies such as higher resolution, higher frame rate and other intelligent software functions, the limited bandwidth becomes a big challenge that most users are forcing to encode the video in their camera and sacrifice the image quality to fit the NVR’s bandwidth limitation, or having limited storage space to save evidence.

Brickcom developed the i-Stream technology to reduce the bandwidth consumption when transmitting data but still keep the important details for consumers. Users can define numbers of regions of interest and the system will automatically calculate the most suitable bitrate allocation for the interest areas and non-interest background. Or users can manually adjust an ideal setting for both the areas of interest or not. i-Stream technology achieves the propose that providing the superior image quality of valuable regions while lowering down the bandwidth consumption of other background to create more storage space for the users. The experiments show that i-Stream can save at least 30 percent of bandwidth in various scenarios.

i-Stream is supported on all Brickcom camera series (except OB-E200Nf and VD-E200Nf), to specifically help users to increase the surveillance capacity and maintain the high video quality, especially for environments with bandwidth limitations. i-Stream benefits users with more flexibility wherever they are.
