Improved image quality by switching to WebP compression

We got some complaints about the image quality on some locations with lot’s of details combined with areas of even colors. Our old image compression algorithm was not handling this situation well and this caused colorized areas to appear in the taken picture.

We have now an update to our cameras to compress using the modern WebP-format which is also widely supported by browsers and OS’s and will improve the image quality in these cases clearly. We had already started using this format for our upcoming OneLens-cameras, and we have now successfully back ported this to our current cameras as well.

We are rolling out this update to some clients first and once we have verified that everything works as it should we will update this to all cameras. Expect an update to your camera after the summer 2025 unless we inform you of an update earlier.

If you want to try it out immediately, let our support know and we can roll it out to your cameras sooner.
