Why it Matters?
Media does not fit standard review workflows, and the practical approach is transcription followed by text review with targeted playback of relevant segments. Transcription accuracy varies with audio quality and matters, since a review based on a poor transcript misses content the recording contains. Retention is also short for surveillance systems, which overwrite on cycles measured in days.
