In today's world of high-definition video and always-on security, managing bandwidth and storage without compromising video quality is a critical challenge. At Oncam, we've tackled this head-on with StreamLite Compression, a smart, adaptive technology that redefines video efficiency. 

Smarter Streaming, Smaller Files 

StreamLite Compression is designed to do one thing exceptionally well: deliver crystal-clear video while significantly reducing the amount of data being transmitted and stored. By using advanced real-time algorithms, StreamLite compresses both H.264 and H.265 video streams—cutting bandwidth and storage usage by 50% or more on average. In low-motion scenes, that number can climb to over 90%, saving considerable resources across your surveillance system. 

How It Works 

What makes StreamLite so effective is its intelligent use of motion and object detection. Rather than treating every part of a scene equally, it identifies what really matters—like people or vehicles in motion—and ensures those areas maintain high detail. At the same time, it efficiently compresses the less important parts of the image. 

This is made possible through three key features: 

• Dynamic Regions of Interest (ROI): Focuses detail where it's needed most. 

• Dynamic Group of Pictures (GoP): Adjusts compression based on scene activity. 

• Dynamic FPS (Frames Per Second): Optimizes frame rate for efficiency without missing critical moments. 

Introducing StreamLite+ 

For environments with demanding video retention policies or large-scale deployments, Oncam offers StreamLite+, an enhanced version built for even greater efficiency. StreamLite+ adds ColorMap Compression, which reduces the data of colors that are less perceptible to the human eye—delivering an additional 20% reduction in file size, even in high-motion scenarios. 

Built Into Every C-Series Camera 

Whether you're monitoring a retail space, a transportation hub, or a school campus, every Oncam C-Series camera comes equipped with StreamLite and StreamLite+ capabilities. It's our way of ensuring you get the best image quality and situational awareness—without the heavy load on your network or storage infrastructure. 

Efficiency Without Compromise 

With StreamLite Compression, you don't have to choose between video quality and system performance. You get both—clearer footage and leaner files, built for the real-world demands of modern surveillance.
