Some of the changes that are in Sighthound Video 7 will let us add H.265 support in Sighthound Video 7.5.
I know this feature is desired, and now becoming a necessity for some cameras. We've needed to do it in a way that complies with H.265 licensing requirements. We are getting close.
Unfortunately, some of our competitors (heck, even some camera vendors) do not care about appropriately licensing patents and other intellectual property and have added support (without licensing) for H.265, repercussions be damned.
That said, the time for H.265 support has come. Amusingly, because of licensing. Camera vendors want to stop paying BOTH H.264 and H.265 fees.
Best,
