Video now represents more than 82% of all global internet traffic (Cisco), and surveillance systems alone generate over 2,500 petabytes of new video data every day (IHS Markit). As retention requirements extend from 30 days to 1–5 years, organisations are facing exponential increases in storage, bandwidth, and infrastructure costs.

BECT (Bandwidth-Enhanced Compression Technology) was engineered to solve this problem at its source, by compressing video before it is stored, transmitted, or archived. BECT reduces video size by up to 80% without any loss of visual, analytical, or forensic quality, enabling organisations to scale video operations efficiently and sustainably.

What Makes BECT Different?

Traditional compression happens after the video is produced. BECT takes a proactive, AI-driven approach:
It compresses each frame at the earliest point in the workflow, yielding:

• • Up to 80% lower storage demand.
  • Up to 80% lower bandwidth usage.
  • Up to 80% lower infrastructure and energy load.

For organizations managing hundreds or thousands of cameras, these savings scale linearly and deliver six- and seven-figure reductions in annual OPEX.

Built for Real-World Enterprise Environments

BECT operates across every major camera type and imaging system, including:

• • Standard IP security cameras

• • Low-light / night-vision systems

• • Infrared and thermal cameras

• • Scientific and industrial sensors

• • Transportation, aviation, and maritime surveillance

• • Smart-city and high-density traffic networks

If the device outputs video, BECT can process it without requiring hardware replacement.

Why BECT Optimizes 720p & 1080p

While marketing trends lean toward 4K, operational reality is different:

• • Over 99% of global security cameras run at 720p or 1080p (OMDIA CCTV Market Report)

• • These resolutions generate the highest volume of daily surveillance data

• • Government and enterprise networks prioritise stability and forensic reliability over ultra-high resolution

By targeting the real-world majority, BECT ensures predictable performance, immediate deploy ability, and maximum compatibility with existing video infrastructure.

AI-Powered Precision Without Forensic Loss

BECT’s multi-engine AI architecture analyses motion, patterns, edges, and frame consistency to preserve fidelity while dramatically reducing data size. Unlike conventional compression, BECT does not:

• • Blur identifying details

• • Remove critical frames

• • Distort faces or objects

• • Reduce evidential accuracy

This makes BECT suitable for law enforcement, critical infrastructure, forensic investigation, and regulated environments.

Fully Compatible with Enterprise Workflows

BECT supports all major video and audio codecs, including:

Video:

MOV/MP4 (H.264/AVC), MKV, MPEG-4, WEBM (VP8/VP9), HEVC/H.265, MPEG-TS transport streams, raw YUV, AVI

Audio:

MP2, MP3, AAC, Vorbis

Frame Rates:

Up to 90 FPS, always matching the original source.

Videos processed by BECT remain fully editable, exportable, and playable on standard media players; no proprietary viewer required.

Environmental & Operational Sustainability

Data centres worldwide now consume about 3% of global electricity (IEA) and are projected to exceed 800 TWh by 2030. Video storage is a major contributor.

BECT directly reduces:

• • Power consumption

• • Server and cooling requirements

• • Hardware footprint

• • CO₂ emissions

Across large deployments, this leads to measurable financial and environmental benefits aligned with ESG strategies.
