High-Quality Video. Lower Bandwidth. Smarter Surveillance.

As the demand for higher video quality, smarter surveillance, and efficient data usage grows, Axis Communications is once again setting the standard. With the introduction of AV1 codec support in devices powered by our latest ARTPEC-9 system-on-chip (SoC), we’re redefining what’s possible in network video streaming and surveillance technology.

What Is AV1 and Why Does It Matter?

AV1 (AOMedia Video 1) is a next-generation video compression standard designed for ultra-efficient streaming. Developed by the Alliance for Open Media—which includes tech giants like Google, Amazon, Intel, and Netflix—AV1 is built for the future of video, especially in cloud-connected and high-resolution environments.

Compared to traditional codecs like H.264 and H.265, AV1 delivers the same high-quality video at significantly lower bitrates, resulting in:

• Lower bandwidth usage

• Reduced storage requirements

• Seamless cloud integration

• Greater scalability for large deployments

AV1 + Axis = Smarter Surveillance

With AV1 integrated into Axis network cameras via the ARTPEC-9 SoC, users can now benefit from:

? High-Quality Video at Lower Bitrates

AV1 delivers exceptional video clarity, even in high-motion or complex scenes, using up to 30–50% less bandwidth than older codecs. When combined with Axis Zipstream technology, the result is unbeatable performance for both live viewing and long-term storage.

? Native Cloud Compatibility

AV1 is designed for the internet. Its built-in support in major web browsers, mobile devices, and cloud platforms makes remote viewing and playback easier than ever. Whether you're using WebRTC or integrating into a broader cloud ecosystem, AV1 fits right in—no plugins or custom decoders required.

? Ideal for 8K and Beyond

AV1 supports video resolutions wider than 8K, outperforming H.265 in scalability. This makes it future-ready for large-scale surveillance systems, smart cities, stadiums, transportation hubs, and any environment where detail and coverage matter.

Easy Integration for Smarter Solutions

AV1 simplifies the deployment of hybrid video solutions that connect surveillance with wider business systems. Its efficient compression and open-standard design make it ideal for integrating with:

• Cloud video management systems (VMS)

• Building management systems (BMS)

• Logistics and supply chain software

• Enterprise resource planning (ERP) tools

Whether you're building an intelligent warehouse, a smart office, or a city-wide surveillance grid, AV1 bridges the gap between video security and business intelligence.
