✨ Added

• 70 real ABUS cameras from the official catalog: the consumer App2Cam line (PPIC31020/52520/54520/91000) and the full professional IP range — TVIP/IPCB/IPCS/IPCA bullets, domes, PTZ (4×/25×/32× zoom), hemispheric/fisheye, an ANPR camera, 2 bi-spectral thermal cameras, plus analog HD (HDCC/TVCC). Sourced from `expert-security.de` cross-checked with official ABUS.

🐛 Fixed

• Stripped fabricated RTSP/ONVIF protocols and Frigate/HA configs from the 5 genuine App2Cam (PPIC) cameras — they are app-only with no local streaming.
• Corrected `PPIC52520`/`PPIC54520` to native 2 MP (the "4K" is interpolated marketing) and `PPIC90520` night vision to color (white-light LED), per official ABUS datasheets/manual.

🗑️ Removed

• 9 non-existent "ghost" ABUS models that 404 on ABUS (fabricated or misnamed article numbers).

📋 Changed

• Database now covers 1,367 cameras across 67 brands.
• ---

✨ Added

• Filled missing specs for 122 Reolink cameras from official sources — `sensor`, `lens`, `video` (codecs/fps/streams), `dimensions_mm`, `weight_g`, `operating_temp_c`, and `environment`.

🐛 Fixed

• 87 corrections to existing Reolink data against official specs — resolution/megapixels (e.g. P340 6→12 MP, Duo 2 LTE 16→6 MP, several RLC-5xx 8→5 MP, Go PT 4→2 MP), IP ratings, and night-vision types. All megapixel changes independently re-verified.
• Set `protocols: []` on Reolink battery cameras — they don't support standalone RTSP/ONVIF/HTTP (only via a Reolink Home Hub).

🗑️ Removed

• 8 non-existent "ghost" Reolink models that 404 on Reolink (fabricated or misnamed entries that padded the count): `argus-5-pro`, `argus-b60`, `cx810-wifi`, `e1-pro-v2`, `rlc-520a-wifi6`, `rlc-540wa`, `rlc-833wa`, `video-doorbell-se`.

📋 Changed

• Database now covers 1,306 cameras across 67 brands.
• ---

🗑️ Removed

• All MSRP price fields (`msrp_usd` plus the localized `msrp_eur/gbp/inr/aed/aud/cad/vnd/chf`) — removed from the schema and stripped from 468 cameras. The pricing data was sparse (~36% of cameras, one currency each, undated) and unreliable; omitting it is more honest than publishing inaccurate prices.

📋 Changed

• Clarified in the schema that `video.streams[]` describes stream *capabilities* (what the camera outputs), distinct from `configs.frigate.*`, which holds the RTSP URLs to use — the two complement rather than overlap.
• ---

✨ Added

• Schema validation now enforced in the build — every entry is validated against `schema/camera.schema.json` via Ajv. Previously the build only hand-checked five required fields, so the schema had silently drifted from the data; it is now the single source of truth and CI fails on any violation.
• 11 fields added to the schema that the data already used but never declared: localized prices `msrp_eur`, `msrp_gbp`, `msrp_inr`, `msrp_aed`, `msrp_aud`, `msrp_cad`, `msrp_vnd`, `msrp_chf`; plus `markets`, `generation`, and `release_notes`.
• `storage.notes` field — free-text storage notes (e.g. external-hub requirements).
• `hdcvi` and `mxpeg` added to the `protocols` enum (HD-CVI coax for HiLook/Dahua analog; MxPEG for Mobotix).
• Reolink Video Doorbell PoE enriched — verified Frigate config (tested by blakeblacksear on v0.14, go2rtc), Home Assistant details (`local_push`, doorbell button, two-way audio, ONVIF events), plus `soc` (Novatek NT98566), `poe_class`, and outdoor `environment`.

🐛 Fixed

• Removed invalid `ip_rating: null` from 3 indoor cameras (Amcrest ASH42-W, Tapo C121, Tapo C135) — the field is optional and `null` is not a valid rating.

📋 Changed

• Dataset mirroring to a downstream consumer is now opt-in via the `DATA_MIRROR_DIR` env var (configurable through a local, gitignored `.env`), replacing a hardcoded copy path in the build script.
• Project now points to the website at [cctv-database.com](https://cctv-database.com) — README links and `package.json` `homepage` updated. The GitHub Pages demo redirects there, with a standalone offline copy kept at `docs/demo.html`. The README now states explicitly that the dataset is CC0 and always will be.
• ---

✨ Added

• SV3C brand (13 cameras incl. C25 & C12 verified via Amazon): PoE bullets/domes, WiFi/PoE PTZs, solar dual-lens kit — all specs from official product pages; honest ONVIF notes (C25 and the original B05W have ONVIF, the rest are RTSP-only)
• Dahua DH-SDT7425-4P-AD3E-PV-i (issue #11) — CN-market dual-channel panoramic+PTZ with full datasheet specs: 180° stitched 3840x1080 panoramic + 4MP 25x PTZ, starlight 0.001 lux, DC 36V/35W, Smart H.265, 150m IR + white light deterrence. ONVIF autotracking behavior verified via frigate#22135 (Channel 2 has unified VideoEncoder+PTZ profile, unlike SDT4E series)
• Real video/power specs for 4 Reolink doorbells and 12 Reolink cameras from official datasheets

🐛 Fixed

• Full Dahua config audit (109 cameras): 8 panoramic/multi-sensor cameras got stitched-stream aspect-ratio and channel-layout notes, 8 PTZs got ONVIF autotracking instructions, 4 HDCVI analog cameras corrected (were listed as ethernet with invalid protocol — now coax), 2 duplicates removed, 1 misnamed ZAS varifocal variant renamed
• Full Hikvision config audit (150 cameras): PanoVu 4-sensor channel layout (101/201/301/401), TandemVu PTZ+bullet dual-camera setup, fisheye dewarp channel notes, 12 PTZs got ONVIF autotracking setup (incl. the enable-Integration-Protocol gotcha), 5 analog cameras corrected from "hdcvi" (Dahua's tech) to Turbo HD (HD-TVI) over coax, 2 miscategorized types fixed (DS-2CD2385G1-I → turret, DS-2CD2443G2-I(W) → box), solar camera got battery-drain warning
• Fabricated RTSP/configs removed from 13 more cameras: Aqara G3/G5 Pro (HomeKit/Matter only), Zebronics, Wyze battery & floodlight cameras (docker-wyze-bridge notes), Yale (cloud-only), ABUS battery model
• 22 duplicate camera files removed: Axis, Arlo, Dahua, Google Nest, Hikvision, Reolink, Uniview, Tapo, ADT, CP Plus, Somfy duplicates consolidated with markets merged
• Night vision corrections: Axis P5655-E (has OptimizedIR), Hikvision DS-2CD2025FWD-I ("-I" suffix = EXIR 30m)
• 9 cameras missing `power_source` field populated (Arlo, Eufy, Ring)
• IK vandal ratings moved out of `ip_rating` field into features (9 cameras)
• 12 cameras with empty connectivity fixed (4G/WiFi derived from model specs)
• + 5 more

📋 Changed

• ---

✨ Added

• `doorbell` type in schema — 44 doorbells migrated from `covert` to proper `doorbell` type, enabling correct filtering
• `status` field in schema — supports `available`, `announced`, `discontinued`; 2026 Reolink CES doorbells marked `announced`
• `video` field in schema — structured codecs, max FPS, and per-stream breakdown (populated with real datasheet data for 12 Reolink cameras)
• Real video/power specs for Reolink RLC-823A, RLC-810A, RLC-811A, RLC-812A, RLC-830A, RLC-833A, RLC-510A, RLC-520A, RLC-1210A, CX410, P430, Argus 3 Pro

🐛 Fixed

• Ring Doorbell 4: consolidated 6 regional duplicate entries into 1 with `markets[]` field — same hardware was padding camera count
• Reolink Doorbell WiFi: protocols corrected to RTSP/ONVIF (was HTTP-only), power corrected to hardwired 12-24VAC (was wrongly listed as battery), NVR-compatible set true, full doorbell-specific configs added (go2rtc two-way audio, Visitor button-press event)
• Reolink Doorbell PoE: config upgraded with go2rtc opus talk-back setup and button-press event documentation
• Amcrest AD410/AD410P: added RTSP/ONVIF protocols (Dahua protocol), full Frigate/HA/Blue Iris configs with doorbell button-press events
