I've got a NVR8CH-AI with three IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 monitoring a driveway and alley. I've setup an IVS tripwire for the driveway and am receiving alerts in DMSS. I don't want to be alerted on every car or person that passes by in the alley, but would like to be able to go back and review footage if...

Oh, I'll have to give that a try next time I'm over there. Thank you!

Thanks again for all of the help! We ended up going with three cameras for now due to budget and installed things over the past few weeks. My father-in-law was a pipe fitter and he had a good time helping me run the ethernet cable. Much easier than pipes! (I'm standing on a ladder, the gate...

That's a great thread! I saw it the other day and it was really eye-opening. So if I understand, verifocal is helpful in dialing things in or having adjustment, but if I knew specifically I needed a zoom/FOV, I could go with a fixed?

Thank you, this is very helpful. I'll be testing positions with a T5442T-ZE, but need to talk to them about their goals for the front and sides of the house. While there are motion sensing lights in some places, I'm not sure if they want to convert those to always on so I'd be hesitant to go...

After reading through @wittaj's thread, I ended up ordering a T5442T-ZE from Andy's Amazon store. This way I can walk through positions with the family member and show them the options for the back area.

Thanks, that was very helpful. I didn't realize the difference between Amcrest and Dahua. That's good to know, because I have a Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-ZE that recently died and I've been looking to replace it. I'll spend some time looking at the options and report back.

Hopefully this is the right forum for this. A family member asked for some help choosing and installing cameras at their house after two incidents regarding someone going into the garage and backyard from the alley. I tried my best to create a diagram of the property and place cameras where I...

Thanks, I'll have to check those out! I'm not really sure what happened, but it's doing a lot better today. I did downgrade the firmware to 180726 yesterday, but didn't follow up on it. We did have a quick power outage this morning and since then the pings have been a lot more reasonable and...

Thank you. I'll see if I can try a repeater again this weekend. I hate to do that and I don't need another AP since coverage is great for every other device except the Door Bell. If not then maybe I'll look into the HSDB2, but would rather spend that money on an additional camera. So that's...

Mine shows -73dBm (45%). But the UniFi dashbaord is complaining about latency and retries. I'm on firmware version 180809 so I'm not sure if that's my issue. I have it constantly streaming to my Synology NAS and that seems to be when there is latency. If I stop the streaming/recording it seems...

I'm using Ubiquiti APs and did a site survey and ended up trying both 1 and 11 which are the least used in my area. I live in a town home complex so there's a lot interface. I can give a repeater a try, but maybe I just need to try the HSDB2. Have you used both?

So I'm not sure if I just have a bad unit, but the latency on this thing is horrible; it frequently drops packets which is causing issues with my network and NVR. I know the reception on this isn't great, but my router is one floor up on the ceiling and I've tried adjusting channel and AP power...

I've been trying to find a way to integrate this with Home Assistant so that I can have it detect doorbell rings. I came across the Zwave Nexia Doorbell Sensor. I did end up having to upgrade my transformer as the camera started rebooting (even after removing the sensor). I used the Hampton Bay...

Modem (Fios) -> Ubiquiti EdgeRouter -> Ubiquiti UniFi AP. I have an ethernet jack in a room closer to the DoorBell, so I'll probably just add something there.
