The Wi-Fi PTZ appears on your NVR as a standard ONVIF \/ ISAPI IP camera on the LAN — the NVR doesn't distinguish Wi-Fi from Ethernet. Add it using its IP address as you would any other camera, then schedule recording, motion detection and AcuSense alarms normally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"cg-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cstrong\u003eCan I install this within 2 km of the coast?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eHonestly — not directly exposed. This camera does not have anti-corrosion housing (no -Y variant exists in this family). For coastal Australian installs within 2 km of saltwater, either choose a NEMA 4X-rated camera (look for the \"-Y\" suffix on Hikvision turrets) or mount this PTZ under deep cover (eave, undercover carport, sheltered porch) so it doesn't see direct salt-spray exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"cg-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cstrong\u003eDoes AcuSense work the same over Wi-Fi as Ethernet?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eYes — AcuSense classification happens \u003cstrong\u003eon the camera itself\u003c\/strong\u003e, not on the network. The deep-learning model runs locally, decides whether the motion is human \/ vehicle \/ other, then sends only the qualified alerts and metadata over Wi-Fi (or Ethernet) to the NVR or Hik-Connect.
