  1. Data Conversion Reference<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    To ensure accurate understanding of data usage, the following unit conversions apply:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • 1GB = 1024<\/strong>MB<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1MB = 1024<\/strong>KB<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1KB = 8kb<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1024<\/strong>kbps<\/strong>\u00a0\u2248 0.125<\/strong>MB<\/strong>\/s<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        1. Usage Recommendations<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Use\u00a0thumbnail previews<\/strong>\u00a0for browsing events to minimize unnecessary data usage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Download\u00a0high-resolution<\/strong>\u00a0images<\/strong>\u00a0or videos only when detailed review is needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Combine\u00a0local SD card recording<\/strong>\u00a0with cloud access for reliable, data-efficient operation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • You can check your remaining data balance and plan status in the app under the\u00a0\u201cService\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0tab.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                • When your 1GB plan is exhausted, cloud uploads, remote Live View, and app notifications will be temporarily disabled.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • It is recommended to\u00a0renew or upgrade your data plan before it runs out<\/strong>\u00a0to ensure uninterrupted service.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Camera models may differ in encoding and compression methods. Always refer to actual usage records to fine-tune your data expectations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
