Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I optimize for low-light conditions?

A: Adjust exposure settings, enable WDR, and fine-tune noise reduction. See Advanced Configuration.

Q: What's the best streaming protocol for face detection?

A: Use RTSP with TCP transport for reliability, or WebRTC for low-latency requirements.

Q: How can I reduce bandwidth usage?

A: Implement dynamic bitrate adjustment, optimize GOP settings, and use efficient codecs. See Video Processing.
