What is HEVC (H.265)? Why is it important for my 1440p live streams?

High Efficiency Video Codec, also known as HEVC, is a video compression standard that allows mydlink cameras to capture higher resolution videos at the same bit rate. The codec is currently incorporated into 1440p streams to reduce required bandwidth. To enjoy 1440p live streams, your mobile device must support HEVC as well. In case your mobile device does not support HEVC, the mydlink app offers another high-resolution compression codec called H.264.
