The JVC VN-H257VPU is compatible with H.264, Motion JPEG, and MPEG4 formats. It can also output a dual stream of Motion JPEG and H.264 simultaneously.
Super LoLux HD Sensitivity is a proprietary technology from JVC that ensures superior color reproduction even in extremely low light conditions. The camera can produce rich, vibrant color images in light as low as 0.3 lux, without the need for a slow shutter.
Clear Logic Video Intelligence (C.L.V.I.) is a technology developed by JVC that offers superior wide dynamic performance and anti-fog capability. It ensures clear, high-quality footage in a variety of environmental conditions.
The JVC VN-H257VPU supports ONVIF and PSIA, which are world-standard protocols for network cameras. This ensures seamless integration with various network systems.
H.264 High Profile offers even higher compression efficiency and precision than the H.264 Baseline or Main Profiles used in ordinary cameras. This feature enables the distribution of high-resolution images while saving even more bandwidth.
