FAQ

Real maps? This version uses a schematic site plan. Google Maps, Mapbox, or blueprint upload can be added later with server-side key handling.
Price accuracy? Catalogue values are documented estimates and should be dated before affiliate or launch use.
Camera support? Standard, PTZ, and PoE++ classes cover most first-pass planning.
Data storage? This version keeps state client-side and exports BOM/config locally.
