Is a network video recorder needed, or is a memory card enough?

The camera supports standalone recording to microSD — this is convenient as a backup channel. For centralized storage and management, connection to an NVR is recommended.

Is power only over PoE, or are there other options?

The camera supports both PoE and DC12V, which allows it to be used with any existing power infrastructure.

What distance does the IR illumination work over in real conditions?

The manufacturer specifies a range of up to 40 meters — the actual value depends on the reflective properties of objects, weather conditions, and the camera's sensitivity settings.
