Know the scope before planning a deployment.
Prepare general camera model and firmware details, the required live or recording workflow, and the people responsible for installation, support and acceptance. Never put camera credentials, footage, network addresses or sensitive facility details into a public inquiry.
Edge recordings stay on configured onsite storage, while remote live view, requested playback, search and management use cloud services. Resident Connector exports can create private cloud clips. Local recording does not mean that video always stays on site.
Review the next step
Retention depends on bitrate, usable storage, reserve and configured limits. Measure retained footage on the exact configuration. Software acceptance is separate from hardware qualification and customer acceptance.
