Great handbook, I always keep those on my pc desktop as a guide :)
I think that a versioning history of what has changed, added, removed would be great.

Great work. Would appreciate though if next time you can also talk a bit more about the following subjects:
1. Thermal cameras.
2. What to look for when comparing different Video Management systems.
3. Thermal Radar cameras (I know that this is niche, but I suspect that many integrators will be interested in trying to differentiate themselves via such niche applications).
