Camera setting defaults?

What camera settings have you standardized on?

Bitrate, resolution, FPS, etc.

I've tried to standardize around 2mbps, 1080p, at ~25fps.

I'm trying to reduce file size even more if possible to extend our retention. I'm thinking about dropping down to 15fps. That sounds pretty standard for a lot of orgs nowadays.

Our integrator doesn't always configure the cameras to our standard so I am hoping to do an audit to help save space even more.

What is everyone else doing?

EDIT

This is for recording on a milestone server. We've got about 120 cameras. Some 24/7 some, 12 hours then motion, and some motion only.

Sometimes our integrator needs some direction. I'd love to record on h265 but they've pushed back a bit.
