An iGPU shares system memory with the CPU, so graphics, AI, and transcoding can reduce RAM headroom and bandwidth available to home server apps.

Event correlation cuts false alerts by combining time, location, identity, confidence, and household context before escalating one sensor signal.

An outage lets events accumulate in brokers and clients, then reconnection releases the backlog faster than automations and integrations can consume it.

Repeat-safe automations preserve one intended household outcome even when events, callbacks, or service requests arrive more than once.

A PoE camera network must satisfy both per-port power class and total switch budget, with headroom for IR, heaters, PTZ movement, startup, and future cameras.

Continuous recording preserves context and missed detections, while event-only analysis limits AI load and turns the full timeline into searchable moments.

VLANs separate broadcast domains, so discovery fails unless the gateway relays the required multicast traffic and permits the later unicast connection.

Sensor retention multiplies storage through sample frequency, entity count, database overhead, indexes, backups, and years of raw or rolled-up history.
