How does Zipstream’s Dynamic GOP conserve bandwidth and storage?

Zipstream’s Dynamic GOP (Group of Pictures) conserves bandwidth and storage by skipping new I-frames if the scene is unchanged. I-frames (intra-coded frames) are larger than P-frames (predictive frames) and B-frames (bi-directional frames) because they contain the full image data. By reducing the frequency of I-frames when there is no motion or change in the scene, Zipstream significantly lowers the data rate without compromising image quality. Axis documentation explains how Zipstream’s Dynamic GOP feature optimizes video encoding to conserve resources effectively.
