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).

The part about FOV calculations and the examples is very useful and interesting.

Thank you very much!
