    DSS Express V8 - Does 1-channel license lift the global 2TB storage cap?

    When activating a single-channel license (DSS8EXV) to move from the "Free" to "Licensed" version, does the software still enforce a strict 2TB limit for the entire server, or does it allow 2TB per initialized partition? I have a 4TB drive partitioned into two 2TB volumes that both initialize...

    Stuttering/Blinking Playback on IPC-HDW5442TM-ASE after 2025 Firmware Update (V2.840.0000000.30.R)

    Hi, what makes a camera to be suitable for a front door camera? Is IPC-E3241F-AS-S2 useful in detecting movement (intrusion/trip wire) when placing in a very short distance from the door (about 20 inches - 50 cm ) ? Thanks.
