minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down2·1 year agoIs that relevant? Tracking people coming in and out of a building doesn’t require the same amount of storage as a 250-person company or anywhere near it. You could probably store it all on a 1 TB drive. It’s not like these are 8k images.
