MJPEG, or Motion JPEG, is a video compression format that compresses each video frame as a separate JPEG image. This means that each frame is compressed independently, resulting in high-quality video with no loss of visual information. MJPEG is commonly used in security cameras and other applications where high-quality video is important but bandwidth and storage limitations may be a concern. One of the main advantages of using MJPEG is that it allows for high-quality video with no loss of visual information, making it ideal for applications like surveillance and monitoring. However, because each frame is compressed independently, MJPEG can result in larger file sizes compared to other video compression formats like H.264 or H.265.
