PURPOSE
We begin with the decision the user must make: place a camera, size storage, restrict a path, accept an integration, review an account, or document a risk.
CONDITIONS
We make assumptions visible: bitrate, distance, light, movement, codec, retention, power, firmware, network path, user role, jurisdiction, and support model. Official standards and vendor documentation are linked when a claim depends on them. AI-assisted research is treated as a discovery and drafting aid; high-impact claims require a human review against the cited source.
LIMITS
This is a planning or editorial guide. It does not replace a site survey, current official source, legal review, or vendor acceptance test.
