  • Focus sharp at target distance, rechecked at night with IR
  • Day/night switching clean; no IR reflection
  • Camera name matches the schedule; time synced to NTP
  • Default password changed; unused services disabled

  • Achieved retention confirmed against the storage calculation
  • Motion / analytics events tested at night (false alarm check)
  • RAID healthy; disk alerts configured
