Recommendations

For reliable AI performance, use Dahua WizSense or compatible cameras with sufficient image quality and proper installation angles. Regularly update firmware, maintain correct time synchronization, and allocate adequate HDD capacity based on resolution and retention requirements. Place cameras to minimize backlighting and obstructions to improve face and ANPR detection accuracy.
