    Long outdoors netwok cable run

    They have new G6 camera's that were recently announced at less than $200. I may consider one for the LPR open feature but even at $200 that is an expensive toy. I have standard IP Cams looking in the same direction so ideally would like to see Unifi allow third party cams trigger motion events...

    Long outdoors network cable run – Part 2 ... Fiber Optic run working

    Terminating fiber is not all that difficult with the ends they have now. I had to purchase the fiber connectors and it came with a stripping and cleaving tool. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09CYQCGD9?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1 I purchased a fiber tester as well. This is...

    BTW UniFi offers a LPR camera option to allow the gate to open automatically. I thought about it but at $500+ I’m having a difficult time justifying the cool factor. Of course I don’t think they offer that in ONVIF cameras. AI detection is only available on the UniFi Cams.

    Long outdoors netwok cable run

    I rely upon the timer to close my gate. The lift master has a rotary knob inside to dial up delay. I’d suggest you change the delay back to something normal. If you need access to get the mail, take out trash, etc… I use my phone or a remote in the vehicle. BTW if I need to keep gate open I...

    Long outdoors network cable run – Part 2 ... Fiber Optic run working

    I just winged it with plenty of lube, a pusher and a puller. Wasn’t that bad. My fiber was the riser type so it had lots of rated pulling force. The only downside I had was the outer sheathing stretched yet the inner fibers did not. I just cut back several feet and all was good. That first light...

    Long outdoors netwok cable run

    Exactly. I thought I would have more folks hitting the button to bother me but honestly the only callers are folks I know are coming or the occasional Amazon delivery. I setup Amazon on their own ID so they don't drop packages at the gate. So far it has been great as they let themselves in and...

    Continuous Recording to One Drive or Split?

    Just upgraded an old drive I had been using for BI. The old drive was an antique 3TB unit from 2011! Just upgraded to a 18TB WD Purple drive. Copying the old files over now. Agree that any drive can fail. Just use one that is independent of your OS or the BI install drive. The new drive is...

    Long outdoors netwok cable run

    I see you have the fiber run completed. Congrats now. My Unifi Gate controller has been great. My gate is operating well off of it. The intercom on the other hand is presently down after a driver ran off the road and hit the mounting post as well as my fence. The intercom post was mounted 4.5'...

    Congrats on the completion of this. Your description is very good and hopefully will encourage a few others if they have to make a long run.

    Gunshots outside my house - On the news

    These quality individuals seem to don't care. Call in ICE and report them as dangerous Illegals

    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,
