As a leader in surveillance technology, Uniview takes video compression a step further with innovative approaches that extend beyond the H.265 standard. Uniview’s proprietary compression technology, known as U-Code, is engineered to optimise storage and bandwidth usage even more efficiently. U-Code utilises dynamic frame analysis to allocate more resources to areas with motion while reducing bitrates in static portions of the video. This targeted compression focuses data storage on essential image details and compresses non-critical parts, thereby enhancing overall efficiency. This advanced technique significantly lowers storage needs, reducing the total cost of ownership for surveillance systems without compromising video quality. For instance, Uniview NVRs and Uniview IP Cameras with U-Code technology can handle high-resolution video more effectively, allowing security operators to monitor expansive areas or high-activity zones with maximum storage efficiency.

Uniview’s U-Code technology is particularly beneficial in environments where efficient storage and bandwidth use are critical due to high video data demands. Examples include:

• High-Traffic Areas: Locations such as city centres, transport hubs, and main roads experience continuous activity and require high-resolution video to capture essential details. U-Code optimises data storage by focusing on crucial elements, enabling longer retention periods without overwhelming storage capacity.
• Large Venues: Stadiums, convention centres, and shopping malls generate substantial video footage. U-Code ensures that storage is managed efficiently, allowing operators to cover expansive areas without compromising on video quality.
• Surveillance in Industrial Sites: Factories and large warehouses, which need constant monitoring, benefit from U-Code's ability to manage video data effectively, even with continuous high-definition recording.
• Public Security and Critical Infrastructure: Locations such as government buildings and public squares require 24/7 surveillance with maximum detail retention. U-Code helps in maintaining seamless, high-quality video while reducing bandwidth and storage costs.

By using Uniview’s U-Code technology in these scenarios, security operators can maximise system efficiency and significantly lower the total cost of ownership.
