Does one zone equal one camera?+
Not always; distance, obstructions and visual objective may require several angles.
How is storage estimated?+
It relates cameras, bitrate and days; activity, codec, FPS and manufacturer change actual storage.
Are detection and identification the same?+
Identification requires greater image density than presence detection.
What is the difference between planning and storage?+
Planning starts with zones and visual goals; storage starts with cameras, bitrate, recording mode and retention days.
Does event recording always save the same amount?+
No. Scene activity varies widely; the result uses and discloses an indicative factor.
Is the cable estimate an exact route?+
No. It is a reserve-based range from average or individual distances and requires a survey.
