  • Publication number: 20250208491
    Abstract: It is well known that in the case of devices designed to capture content—for example, cameras (both still and video), microphones, sensors, and other devices—there is a motivation to both reduce installation time and installation error, and so some degree of partial assembling, wiring, aiming, and/or commissioning occurs in a factory setting before shipment. However, many such devices require fine tuning on site after at least preliminary installation. Discussed are apparatus and method for fine tuning that does not rely on conventional means of site power and/or internet access.

  • Publication number: 20250175479
    Abstract: Network management systems and associated methods are described for providing intent-driven management of networks. A transaction journal of intents for a network may be maintained to define intended behavior of the network. A proposed intent may be received and verified, and the transaction journal may selectively be updated to include the proposed intent based on the verification. Changes for network devices and/or services may be propagated to control the network to adhere to the intents of the journal, including the proposed intent when verified. The network may be monitored to identify and mitigate violations of the intents of the journal or other issues.
