Local - This means the tracking software will be running on a PC or server. managed by the Track Engine service. Typically this means the tracking software is centralised and has to make high bandwidth connection from the server to the sensor to consume raw radar data. You only need to provide the radar details for this type of connection. When using local trackers the PC / server must be powerful enough to run a tracker for each radar it is managing. This connection type is also used for playing back radar data recordings.

Remote - This means the tracking software is running on a remote EPU (Edge Processing Unit). The EPU is a small embedded single board computer which is usually located with or close to the radar. The EPU makes a high bandwidth connection to the radar to consume raw data but uses a low bandwidth connection to the rest of the software. You need to provide the radar details and the EPU for this type of connection.

On-Board - This means the tracking software is running on the radar sensor. This feature is only available on the CTS-350X radar, version 4 or newer. In this setup the high bandwidth connection is inside the radar and the link from the radar to the rest of the software is a low bandwidth connection. You only need to provide the radar details for this type of connection.
