H.264 Hardware Compression

The Live View LVR is the next generation of PC base DVR systems. For too long PC based DVR systems have been developed with Mpeg4 based compression which, whilst the file sizes are small Mpeg4, is not of the same Video quality as H.264. Mpeg4 has major issues when recording moving objects such as people walking or cars, whilst H.264 does not have this problem, this is where Mpeg4 has major video interlace issues. Mpeg4 compression also tends to be very pixilated on full screen playback.

The Live View LVR series takes all the pressure off the CPU as it uses hardware and not software to compress images which also increases image quality as hardware compression offers Full D1 704 x 576 resolution (not mpeg4 based 640 x 480 with video interlacing when images move). Below is images showing the differences in video quality when moving objects appear in front of our H.264 Compression DVR. You will notice no video interlacing appears unlike MPEG4!
