Half the storage. Full detail where it matters.
The last hours stay exactly as recorded. Everything older is kept in an archive that spends its bytes on the people and vehicles and saves them on the background.
Ask the cameras a question.
The model writes a query against the event log, reads the rows and answers with the frames that prove it. Nothing is invented: every frame shown is one the query returned.
Someone is watching, all the time.
The watcher investigates unusual events on a budget, pulls the frames it needs and writes up what it found. Each alert carries its evidence and the trail of what the watcher looked at.

Open any feed to see what the pilot works with: every camera here is indexed, searchable and archived.
The measurements behind the numbers.
Per camera: the archive's bitrate against the source, the x264 ladder the saving is measured against, the quality inside and outside the region of interest, and the encoder's map.
