After launch: use the first-run setup or camera configuration to add an RTSP/IP camera manually, or try discovery where supported. Start with one camera and add up to four in the public beta. Keep camera credentials on your own machine.
Windows status: there is no verified one-click Windows installer for this beta. Windows source setup instructions remain in the GitHub README; a packaged download is planned for a later release.
Technical beta: do not depend on it for production-critical security, life-safety, or emergency monitoring.
