The challenge is clear: video files are huge. They take too much space, require strong internet connections, and cost a lot of money to store or send.
BECT technology solves this problem.
BECT reduces video size by up to 80% without changing the way the video looks. To the human eye, the quality remains the same, but the file is dramatically lighter, faster, and easier to manage.
Why This Matters
Large video files create hidden costs that most people never see:
• Big hard drives.
• Expensive servers.
• High electricity bills.
• Extra cooling systems.
• Strong, costly internet connections
When hundreds or thousands of cameras run 24/7, these costs grow quickly. Studies show that a single HD security camera generates up to 400 GB of data per month, and large facilities can have hundreds of cameras.
With BECT, these demands drop sharply.
How BECT Helps
1. Saves Storage Space
By reducing file sizes up to 80%, organizations can store months or years of video without buying new hardware. Many facilities can reduce storage upgrades by 50–80%.
2. Saves Internet Bandwidth
Smaller videos load and stream smoothly, even on slow or unstable internet. This is valuable in rural areas, developing regions, or congested networks.
3. Saves Electricity and Hardware
Less storage and fewer servers mean lower energy consumption. Data centres report that storage systems account for 20–40% of total power usage. BECT cuts this significantly.
4. Reduces Environmental Impact
Lower power usage means lower CO₂ emissions, directly supporting sustainability goals.
Works With Your Existing Cameras
BECT is compatible with the most common camera resolutions used worldwide—720p and 1080p, which make up more than 70% of global installations according to IHS Markit.
No new cameras or special equipment are required.
Supports Many Video Types
BECT works across standard and specialized video sources, including:
• FHD/HD security cameras
• Night vision and infrared
• Thermal cameras
• Drone footage
• Surveillance video
• RAW formats (YUV, AVI, etc.)
If it produces video, BECT can make it smaller.
Easy to Watch, Share, and Edit
BECT keeps video in normal playable formats. Users can:
• Watch on any device
• Cut or edit clips
• Add subtitles
• Use footage for investigations
• Send over WhatsApp, email, or cloud platforms
No special player or software is required.
Fast Processing
On a normal computer, BECT processes video slightly faster than real time.
A 10-minute video typically finishes in under 10 minutes, enabling fast workflow for security teams, media teams, and investigators.
Live Video with BECT WATCH
For live monitoring, BECT WATCH keeps delay below one second, even on low bandwidth connections. This is valuable for:
• Police
• Security control rooms
• Airports and seaports
• Critical infrastructure
• Remote sites
It ensures clear, stable live video where other systems fail.
Looking Ahead: Ultra-Low-Bandwidth Video
BECT is also developing the LBVC SDK, a special toolkit for situations where internet access is extremely limited. This will support:
• Emergency response teams
• Defence communication
• Rural networks
• Maritime and field operations
In Simple Terms
BECT makes video:
• Smaller
• Faster
• Cheaper
• Easier to store
• Easier to send
• Easier to use
