Usage recommendations

For reliable 4K recording and longer retention periods, use enterprise-grade surveillance SATA drives and allocate storage according to the desired retention time and camera bitrate. Regularly check firmware updates from the manufacturer to maintain compatibility and security. When enabling AcuSense analytics, perform calibration per site conditions to minimize false positives and ensure accurate classification of people and vehicles.
