    Camhi PTZ Camera stuck in loop reboot

    I had that happen to me once, it ended up being the power supply. It was originally POE when the issue started and stored the reboot when I switched to a 120v power adapter.

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    I have 11 Dahua cams, most 5442 models, and have been able to add them all to my UDM-Pro. I do get a message saying that I am approaching the limit. As I am only able to only record continuous video but no events, I’m holding off getting a Unifi NVR until more Protect features are added. At...

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    Thanks, but I had then setup correctly. I used @jpc-s4 advice and was able to add the cams by clicking the "?" and selecting Advance Options.

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    Does anyone know how to let Protect see the cams that are on a separate VLAN on a UDM-Pro?

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    I finally got the Early Release installed and switch the settings for 3rd party cameras, but no cameras found. I do have my IPCs on a separate VLAN, assuming that is the problem. Is there any way to fix this without having to reconfigure my IPC’s IP addresses?

    Adding EmpireTech System to Existing Ubiquiti Network

    My apologies if I gave it incorrect information. I was going off of personal experience from around 2019ish. I would have to look up old posts but When I first got my Dahua system from Andy (NVR5216-16P-4ks2E x 1, T5442TM-ZE x 3, T5442TM-AS x 1, T2431T-AS x 2, EW5531-AS x 1), I was having issues...

    Adding EmpireTech System to Existing Ubiquiti Network

    i just checked which switch I recently purchased. Surprisingly the NETGEAR I got a year ago for $79 now costs $122, wow!

    That statement is false, the POE LAN is isolated.

    Adding EmpireTech System to Existing Ubiquiti Network

    To clarify, if you have a monitor and mouse plugged into the NVR, you can access the cameras that way. I have my NVR in an attic (need to drag out the ladder to access) and prefer to make changes via a pc on my home network; that is the limitation. Another reasons I now believe in non-POE NVRs...

    Adding EmpireTech System to Existing Ubiquiti Network

    Sorry for being late to the party. From personal experience: My biggest dislike of the NVR with POE as that access to the cameras UI was very difficult since the NVR used an internal LAN. There have been posts that state to connect a laptop via network cable to the NVR and change the IP address...

    Help getting better picture.

    I agree with everyone, and not looking for miracle cures. I am more interested in covering my property than reading lic plates. The only reason I got the Z4 was because I wasn’t sure if the 12mm would have been enough on the variable zoom turret. I was just wondering if tweeting the settings...

    Help getting better picture.

    Hello all, I have been gone for a while and back for part of the summer. This afternoon the police knocked on my door; there was a break-in down the street and asked if my cameras might have pick up the car as it was leaving. Most of my cameras are 5442T-ZE; I usually get the variable zoom so I...
