They used to encode with h264. I set up a rig 2 years ago with the goal for using that card just couldn’t source cameras at a decent price that use the olde codec. It’s actually pretty difficult to find that anymore. Also, they need to decode streams for processing for things like object detection. That doesn’t work without decoding being done on each stream first.

I am open to being wrong on this I just want to be certain before I get to the spending money stage. Can you show me where you got that information?
