The short answer
A viewer prioritizes observation; an NVR is evaluated for recording and retention operations. Choose by verified behavior rather than assuming that local viewing implies continuous recording.
Work through the checks
Write down the exact outcome you need: live observation, a saved event, camera movement or long-term retention. Check each outcome separately instead of treating a visible stream as proof of all functions.
If recording is available in the installed build, capture a short authorized test event. Confirm a new local file is created, grows as expected and can be reopened after recording stops.
Separate the chosen retention period from actual cleanup behavior. Test the installed app’s available storage controls with disposable footage before relying on automatic deletion.
Distinguish screen-off from computer sleep. A computer that sleeps may stop local processing even while the camera stays powered; test the intended power state and reconnect behavior.
What to verify
Reopen a completed test clip and seek to a known event time if the player permits seeking. Confirm moving images, duration and camera identity; a thumbnail or event row alone is insufficient.

AeoCam is available for Windows. Camera settings below describe protocol preparation, not a certification of a particular camera or a promise of every feature in every app version. Check the installed build and the Microsoft Store listing for current availability.
Vendor documents describe the camera or protocol. No physical-camera compatibility test is claimed here. Menus and capabilities can change with model and firmware.
