Can you clarify this statement, "Hikvision did note that new NVRs will be required for their H.265 cameras and those are not yet available nor even being shown."
Does that mean it is a proprietary implementation of H.265 that other VMS's will not be able to read?

If it just pertains to Hikvision, that would make sense. Geutebruck (because we deal in it) and Aventura I know support H.265. I was just curious if the Hikvision camera "might" be able to stream to these VMSes using ONVIF or RTSP, or if Hikvision was requiring an SDK and special drivers, with the idea they'd only support it on their own NVR's first as a way to boost NVR sales.

Hikvision have announced their first H.265 cameras but that they don't have any H.265 NVRs. Dahua have released H.265 NVRs but haven't yet announced any H.265 cameras. What perfect partners they could make!

When you test zipstream and the new H.264 from hikvision, be sure to test the impact of variable GOP in the system overall
