~New technology dramatically reduces camera
bandwidth, maintains exceptional image quality and lowers storage
requirements~
VANCOUVER, Canada, April 25, 2017 /CNW/ - Avigilon Corporation
("Avigilon") (TSX: AVO), provider of trusted security
solutions, today announced enhanced bandwidth efficiency to its
camera lines with the introduction of HDSM SmartCodec
technology.
HDSM SmartCodec technology automatically detects activity levels
in multiple regions of a scene to optimize compression levels, and
reduce bandwidth and storage consumption, all while maintaining
high image detail of the areas that matter most. As a result, when
activated HDSM SmartCodec technology can reduce bandwidth by up to
50 percent compared to standard H.264 compression.
"With HDSM SmartCodec technology, customers can significantly
reduce bandwidth and storage needs, without sacrificing important
image detail," said James Henderson,
Avigilon's Chief Sales and Marketing Officer. "Combined with
Avigilon Idle Scene Mode and patented High Definition Stream
Management technologies, Avigilon provides exceptional bandwidth
management across the entire system, from camera to server to
client."
All new H4A, H4 ES, H4 PTZ and H4 SL cameras include HDSM
SmartCodec technology, and a free firmware download is available
for previously installed cameras. The remaining H4 camera lines
will integrate HDSM SmartCodec technology over the coming
months.

technologies will function as intended, will be free of unexpected
defects, and will be suitable for the intended products and end

estimated or intended. Also, many of the factors are beyond the
control of Avigilon. Accordingly, readers should not place undue
reliance on forward-looking statements.
Avigilon undertakes no obligation to reissue or update any
