Usage recommendations

For reliable continuous recording, use a high-quality surveillance-grade 3.5" SATA HDD and schedule regular health checks of drive status, temperature and available space via the device interface. Configure motion detection zones to reduce unnecessary recordings, enable TLS encryption for data transfer, and ensure the recorder is installed in a locked, ventilated rack to prevent unauthorized access and overheating.
