# qtismartvencbin Source: [https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70020-50/topic/qtismartvencbin.html](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70020-50/topic/qtismartvencbin.html) The qtismartvencbin plugin uses machine learning and computer vision to reduce the video bandwidth. It can be used for surveillance, where only the small image areas are in motion. The bitrate reduction can be configured according to the quality requirements. The qtismartvencbin plugin implements the following: - A GStreamer bin that has a video encoder and integrates computer vision APIs. - The post-processed person-detection results from the machine learning pipeline. Figure : qtismartvencbin architecture The following tables provide information on pad templates and element properties of qtismartvencbin. For use cases, see [Smart codec](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70020-50/topic/smart-codec.html). ## Pad configuration | Pad Name | Capabilities | Capabilities | Capabilities | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | SINK template: 'sink'
