Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is Motion Optimized Recording (MORe)?

Motion Optimized Recording (MORe): TimeSight's advanced motion detection applies specific resolution, frame rate, and retention policies to motion and non-motion events, enabling users to store all video on less storage than riskier record on motion only approaches.

What is Video Lifecycle Management?

Video Lifecycle Management (VLM) is the practice of reducing the cost of storing surveillance data over time based on risk, business rules and events.

What is dynamic H.264 compression? Have you altered the industry standard?

TimeSight Video Surveillance Appliances implement industry-standard H.264 compression. However, because our appliances are the industry's first to incorporate video lifecycle management, an emerging best-practice, we maximize the effectiveness of H.264 compression over time. Through a user-defined schedule, which can be configured separately for non-motion or motion-based video capture, we reapply increasing amounts of compression during the video retention period. This "dynamic" application of H.264 compression reduces video file sizes as risk diminishes over time - reducing storage usage.
