Do I need a server on site?

Which XProtect edition do I need?

It depends on the size of the site. Essential+ and Express+ are for small and mid-size sites, Professional+ is for growing operations, and Expert and Corporate are for enterprise and multi-site systems.

How many days of video can I keep, and what decides that?

It depends on how many cameras you have, their resolution, how much activity they see and how much storage is in the recorder. We typically include 30 days by default. If you need more, tell us how many days and we will size the recorder to match. Add cameras to a quote list and the storage planner on the quote page estimates the recorder size.
