BECT today announced the official release of BECT WATCH, a next-generation live video compression technology engineered to drastically reduce video file sizes, by up to 80% without any loss in visual quality. Designed specifically for enterprise, government, defense, and large-scale surveillance environments, BECT WATCH delivers a transformational leap in video efficiency, sustainability, and operational reliability.

As global video usage continues to surge across IP cameras, smart-city deployments, military surveillance, industrial operations, and remote monitoring, organizations are experiencing exponential growth in bandwidth and storage costs. BECT WATCH solves this problem at the source by compressing video during capture, dramatically reducing the infrastructure required to manage modern video pipelines.

“Video infrastructure is expanding faster than traditional storage and network systems can support,” said Ibrahim Nahla, Founder of BECT. “BECT WATCH delivers an immediate and measurable impact, lowering storage, bandwidth, and energy consumption by up to 80%. This is not an incremental improvement; it is a fundamental shift in how organizations capture and manage video.”
