# The H264 Advantage

This whitepaper provides an in-depth look at the H264 encoding. As the first company to integrate the encoding standard into their CCTV technology, Hikvision offers unparalled experience and understanding of the H264 AVC.

H.264/AVC standard was published by the JVT group, which was co-founded by ITU-T VCEG and ISO/IEC MPEG, in 2003. By adopting new technologies in the video compression field, H.264/AVC outperforms its predecessor, MPEG-2, with its high performance and moderate compression complexity level. Now, it has already taken the place of MPEG-2 and become the most popular compression standard in the world.
