    Long outdoors netwok cable run

    The Plenum cable above is holding up well for me. No signs of degradation. 10G backbone between switch and control has been consistently stable. I have a second FO run for my gate. That line was a buried rated FO line that was run while I was installing a water line onto my property. That...

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

    I think I found the Unify Protect limit for ONVIF streams. The documentation says 8 feeds max. I tried to feed in 7 4K ONVIF streams. One of the cameras was a 180 degree twin lens type stream. That was a bridge too far! The system was constantly needing to be refreshed per camera. I backed it...

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

    Thanks and yes on a phone. My BI also tended to spike. I ended up turning off all camera based alerts and I did enable sub streaming. H264 base encoding. Code project AI is running to capture motion and a LPR dedicated camera as well. Now spikes briefly but nothing like before. Idles at...

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

    Scalable is a good word for the day! I am using BI along with the Ubiquity Dream Machine Pro SE. it’s got 8TB of backup. I don’t recall seeing this mentioned in any of the specs. How many cameras can the Unify system handle if they are generic 2K-4K ONVIF streams? I have roughly 18 cameras in...

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

    I see. Not sure if Unify will do that considering they now sell a dedicated AI box per line. I’ll continue to use Protect as a backup system for now as it does have some nice live view features,

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

    Sorry for posting to an old thread but I recently enabled several ONVIF streams on my Ubiquity DreamMachine SE with a hard drive. The cameras are recording continuous and I can see the feeds no problem. I was trying to get the ONVIF cameras to set triggers. Looks like that is not possible. Has...

    IP4M-1098EW-AI PTZ shows Limited Resources - Failed to Play Video

    Resolved. I had local camera alerts writing to camera memory. Since I’m using Blue Iris and AI to now analyze the feed I turned off all the local writing to memory. I did a factory reset then turned off all the local writes. Seems to have fixed it as I can once again use the PTZ functions...

    IP4M-1098EW-AI PTZ shows Limited Resources - Failed to Play Video

    I installed this PTZ a month or so back and initially the PTZ function would work fine. I do not have it on a preset pattern or anything and manually move it with Blue Iris controls. Lately the video fee is fine in Blue Iris but if I attempt to control the camera with the PTZ function in Blue...

    Long outdoors netwok cable run

    Yes the gate hub goes out at the gate. If you have fiber with an Ethernet adapter your set out there. The hub buys you 3 spare POE ports. I already had an 8 port switch with SFP up at my gate already. The hub gives a few extra ports which isn’t a bad thing. Unify hub has an open/close input. See...

    Long outdoors netwok cable run

    Funny I had purchased the GBF gate controller as well. I tried enabling it in Blue Iris and found the default ONVIF password was not a field they allowed to be edited. Sorry but that was a dealbreaker for me. Having Chinese server support was very iffy as well. Combined I removed that device...

    Long outdoors netwok cable run

    Any update on this? I just enabled my gate controller this weekend and so glad that I have fiber up there. 1Gb connection to the gate is overkill but still nice as I have four cameras, WiFi hot spot and gate controller up there.

    Modello Mexican tries to run me over

    I don't know that I would have hit his car with the flashlight! Lucky he didn't shoot you.

    Long outdoors netwok cable run

    I used a wire stripping tool I had already to score outer sheath and to dress each fiber down to the outer 125u sheath. It is for fine wires in electronics and it worked great. https://a.co/d/9A12ia9 I used the tools from my previous post to strip and clean the fibers then cleaved the bare...

    Long outdoors netwok cable run

    Half hitch works well for larger wires. I just doubled the pull string back and taped over it. I used about a 1/2 roll of 3M electrical tape to ensure it was well bonded to the pull string. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Long outdoors netwok cable run

    The boxes may need to be removed to facilitate pulling/pushing cable. I used a similar pull string and didn’t require a separate pull rope. A more sturdy pull material would help. I pulled about 40-50 lbs worth and at times I was worried it may fail. Believe the rating on the poly string is a...
