MJPEG does not support proportional compression
and requires large storage space. Recording and
network transmission occupy large hard disk space
and bandwidth. MJPEG is not applicable to
continuous recording for a long period of time or
network transmission of videos. It can be used to
send alarm images.
The H.264 High Profile codec means
high requirements on the hardware.
If the hard decoding capability is low,
use H.264 Main Profile or H.264 Base
