Video Compression Infrastructure

Cut video storage by up to 90% — without losing a single detail.

We build the compression layer that surveillance networks run on. Compress H.264 and H.265 streams up to 10:1, extend retention from 30 days to 180 and beyond, and keep every frame intact for downstream AI and legal review.

The problem

Surveillance data is growing faster than any budget can follow

Higher resolutions, longer statutory retention periods and AI workloads push the same physical infrastructure far past what it was designed to carry. Adding capacity is the obvious answer — and the most expensive one.

Storage and rack cost

4K cameras, higher frame rates and multi-year retention compound every year. Rack space, power and cooling scale with the footage.

Bandwidth ceilings

Dedicated-line expansion is slow and expensive, and remote or mobile sites often have no viable wired path at all.

AI needs quality

Analytics depend on person, vehicle and plate detail. Conventional over-compression destroys exactly the pixels that matter.

Mixed estates

New deployments and legacy systems coexist, and there is rarely a single layer that can govern both.

Retention mandates

Public safety, transport, healthcare and finance face statutory retention periods that storage planning never anticipated.

Hardware lock-in

Purpose-built accelerator cards constrain expansion, inflate unit cost and cannot be pooled across sites.

What we do

One compression layer, from the camera edge to the archive

Rather than a single point tool, we deliver an end-to-end stack: compress at the edge, aggregate at the node, converge at the centre, and govern the archive — all with one operations plane.

In-place archive compression

Govern footage that has already landed on open storage — compressed in place, with the original system untouched.

Edge compression

Palm-sized gateways and compression-native cameras that shrink the stream before it ever reaches the network.

Node and centre aggregation

Appliances and 2U cluster nodes that converge hundreds of streams per unit at city scale.

Intelligent operations

Unified device management, asset control, distributed storage and no-reference quality scoring across the estate.

Non-negotiable

Four invariants. Two kinds of "lossless".

Compression is only useful if nothing downstream notices. Every stream we process keeps its resolution, frame rate, codec format and duration exactly as recorded, and stays effectively indistinguishable — to the human eye and to machine vision.

  • Resolution unchanged — no scaling, no super-resolution.
  • Frame count unchanged — no frame dropping.
  • Codec format unchanged — H.264/H.265 kept natively, no client codecs required.
  • Duration unchanged — millisecond-accurate timeline alignment.
  • Visually lossless — no perceptible degradation to operators or investigators.
  • Machine-vision lossless — person, vehicle and plate features preserved for analytics.

Deployment

Four ways to deploy

Start with the architecture that matches your estate today — and scale into the others without replacing what you already own.

Edge scattered access

Compress at each distributed site before the stream leaves the premises.

Node-level intelligent compute

A mid-size campus served by one appliance with AI and VMS on board.

Central high-density aggregation

City and province scale, converging hundreds of streams per node.

Cloud software compression

Zero new hardware: compress in the platform on general-purpose CPU.
