Retention Math for IP Cameras: Bitrate, Motion, Storage Traps
Retention Math That Doesn’t Lie: Bitrate, Motion, and the Storage Traps That Break Deployments Storage planning is where “looks good on paper” deployments go to die. Most retention misses aren’t caused by the NVR brand or the hard drives — they’re caused by assumptions: a default bitrate, a best-case scene, and forgetting overhead. Deploymen …

Designing Identification-Grade Camera Coverage: Pixel Density + DORI, the Practical Way

Designing Identification-Grade Camera Coverage: Pixel Density + DORI, the Practical Way
Designing Identification-Grade Camera Coverage: Pixel Density + DORI, the Practical Way When a deployment misses expectations, it’s usually not because the camera “wasn’t 4K.” It’s because coverage was planned without a measurable target for identification, recognition, or detection. Two tools solve that problem fast: pixel density (how many pixels …
