The short answer
Give entrances and transaction areas clear context without filling every tile with maximum-resolution video. Verify useful detail under opening, busy and closing lighting conditions.
Work through the checks
Check who can see the live view, the field of view and the local files. Limit unnecessary capture and access; local storage does not by itself protect footage from other computer users.
Match the requested channel or lens to the manufacturer’s numbering. A valid stream from the wrong channel can look like success while showing another camera.
Compare the main stream and a camera-provided substream at the same time of day. The substream often reduces decoding load, but confirm that the detail you need remains visible.
Use representative day and night scenes, including empty scenes. Compare missed events and unwanted triggers before changing sensitivity; one successful alert is not a reliability measurement.
What to verify
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.
Sources and scope
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.
