Next-Level Storage with H.265 Compression

One of the most standout features of the EZVIZ X5S with HDMI & VGA is its use of H.265 video compression technology, which is up to 50% more efficient than the older H.264 format. This means you can store twice the video content without expanding your physical storage.
