One thing that comes up with smart codecs is image quality variances with codec on compared to codec off.
Has IPVM done a shootout of identical cameras, with identical scenes and compared the live and playback video quality with smart codec active and inactive?
Seems to me, bandwidth is generally not an issue these days and any degradation of video quality (typically background) is quickly recognized, particularly in live monitoring environments.
While background scene degradation doesn't really matter that much practically, it is still observable, noticed and perceived as a deficiency by users.
Additionally, I'm sure that all smart codecs are not created equal, so there may be variances from codec to codec.
Very interested to hear what you think!

Can anyone confirm that Avigilon does not support ZipStream? I'm getting ready to put a large project out to bid and was considering ACC7 and Axis cameras.
