Are you running a version that has the recently updated iOS push certificates?

I think the OP might be referring to the forums. I’ve run into that error a few times over the past couple of weeks when trying to read new posts.

AT&T is shutting theirs down early next year too. Must be a GSM thing.

I don’t know anyone who’s had a check washed or their online banking hacked. I know it’s all about location, location, location, but check washing is a thing down here, to the point where thieves steal from the mailboxes AT some of the post offices (although the Postal Inspector here won’t...

IMO this is probably the safest way to do it, especially if you have two-factor authentication enabled. You’re still an active participant (ie you initiate the payments) and you don’t have to worry about the small but present chance of your paper check being intercepted, “washed” and then used...

Folks here will be interested as well!

IMO because in the professional market (for which these cameras were designed) you can't assume that DHCP services are going to be available on the network segment the cameras are being installed on. Hik/Dahau do make a few consumer-grade models that ship from the factory DHCP-enabled. But...

I got myself into a loop like that a few months ago. While investigating why my CPU was running 20-30% higher than normal, I noticed that the BI option for Hardware Decode had changed to "NO" on all of my cameras. WTH? Without thinking, I went through and re-enabled Hardware Decode on all...

x2 on pretty much everything above! I have one 5442 LED model, used for a review. After the review, I ended up disabling the LED light and moving the camera to the brightest location around my house at night (closest to a streetlight). It does OK there, but a normal 5442 (w/ IR) would do even...

I can't wait to see the new timeline replay feature added (where you click the button when you're in a camera's live view and it rewinds back 30 seconds).

BI can detect the Dahua IVS/Hik Smart Events, which are the better versions of motion detection those brands add to most of their cameras. For those features to work on a NVR, the NVR needs to be the same brand as the camera.

I'm probably misreading your post (so apologies in advance), but IIRC the 5442T-ZE comes with a microphone. Are you looking for an 8MP varifocal turret with a microphone?

This topic comes up quite a bit and tends to derail threads. Might be more productive for this thread to find another thread on this topic (or another one already derailed) and continue the discussion there.

Profiles can be pretty cool. I have one setup where the cameras are set to not send notifications. I use that when I'm working in the yard/driveway and get tired of my phone/watch being buzzed every 30 seconds.

I think changing profiles might the easiest. Have one profile where your garage camera doesn't record full-time, then another profile where it does. Use an ISY program to toggle the profiles based on the garage door status.
