"Both Computer 1 (192.168.1.10) and Computer 5 (192.168.1.10) have the same IP address assigned within the same network (192.168.1.0/24). This creates an IP address conflict, causing communication errors on the network."

"An IP address conflict occurs when two devices share the same IP address, resulting in communication issues for both devices."

The H.264 compression standard is highly efficient and can significantly reduce bandwidth and storage requirements compared to Motion JPEG. This is because H.264 uses both intra-frame and inter-frame compression, which reduces the amount of data needed to represent video by eliminating redundant information between successive frames. Axis Network Video documentation states that H.264 can reduce the required bandwidth and storage by up to 50% or more in typical surveillance scenarios, making it an advantageous choice for video compression in surveillance systems.

The first time an Axis camera's Live View is accessed, the user is prompted to configure a root password.
This step is essential for securing the camera and preventing unauthorized access. Setting a strong root password ensures that only authorized users can modify the camera's settings and view the video stream.

Thermal network cameras are viable alternatives to standard network cameras for several purposes:
* B. Detection at daylight: Thermal cameras can detect heat signatures from objects and people regardless of lighting conditions.
* C. Detection at night: They can effectively detect heat signatures in complete darkness, making them suitable for nighttime surveillance.
* D. Detection in smoke and light fog conditions: Thermal cameras can see through obscurants like smoke and light fog that might block visible light, providing reliable detection in such conditions.
Thermal cameras are not suitable for identification purposes or license plate recognition as they do not capture fine details needed for these applications.

When initiating a surveillance project, the first and most critical step is to understand the customer's goals and requirements. This involves gathering detailed information about what the customer aims to achieve with the surveillance system, the specific areas they need to monitor, and any unique challenges or constraints they might have. This understanding helps in designing a tailored solution that meets the customer's expectations and operational needs.
