A forerunner of affordable video surveillance storage

Uniview is renowned for its ground-breaking work in the field of Ultra 265 compression technology, a combination of Uniview’s unique U-Code and the H.265 compression standard.

Uniview invented the patent coding technique U-Code to keep pace with the development from H.264 to H.265 and balance the need for HD surveillance and corresponding storage and bandwidth cost.

By combining U-Code with H.265, it then created the end-to-end solution Ultra 265, which can save up to 95% storage space and 75% storage cost. The last couple of years has seen Ultra 265 reach new heights after Uniview updated U-Code to U-Code 2.0, resulting in even more powerful and intelligent equipment.
