Caching

• Cameras: Cached for 60 seconds in Redis
• Monitors: Cached for 60 seconds in Redis
• Routing State: Not cached (real-time from database)

Use use_cache=false query parameter to bypass cache.

Audit Logging

All operations are logged to the audit_logs table:

• Authentication attempts (success/failure)
• Cross-switch executions
• Monitor clear operations

Query audit logs via database or add dedicated endpoint in future.
