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

    Oh yeah, there is a definitely a solid dev team behind Protect which is the reason why it's very polished and some people might be on edge buying their cameras and switching, I was. If I was doing a new system today, I probably would've gone with them because their G6s are close to the standard...

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

    Currently trying on Mac mini m4 with an HDD enclosure. This is basically the setup they recommend but I would rather have it on my main server which I am going to try to move back to now that many of the issues I had are sorted out. It is recommended to have a disk attached directly on the...

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

    Software is truly the best I've seen so far. And the app is flawless too. Tons of integrations. You get the best experience with using, of course, their own cameras. They only support viewing and recording for third party cameras and you have to be lucky it picks up the correct resolution...

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

    I have been trying out Scrypted NVR as a BlueIris replacement. It's basically close to the Protect experience, simple to setup, scrubbing is nice, app is great, and AI detentions/notifications work outside the box very well. Someone says it achieves 95% of what BI does with 5% of the work and...

    UNIFI—The Best Option...?

    No - it is the AI Port AI Port - Ubiquiti Store it enables AI detection and audio for 3rd party cameras. Not sure if it will fix image quality issues by going through that, maybe but not sure. And you can only use this with a limited number of cameras depending on their resolution. 5 Ubiquiti...

    UNIFI—The Best Option...?

    100% spot on. And I was very hopeful too and happy to hear about onvif support until I realized they really don't want people to use their own cameras and would make the experience bad to the point you would have to buy their own cameras to make a Protect installation worth it. Their G6...

    UNIFI—The Best Option...?

    Would love to see comparison between a 5442 and Unifi's newer G6 cameras, and even their more expensive 4k cameras. Surprised no one has done it already, would make people realize Unifi cameras, despite getting better on paper, are still not great - practically giving up image quality for nice...

    P2P isn't the same as Cloud and here is why

    Does anyone use P2P? I know it's the first thing I see when setting up a Dahua camera in which case I automatically disable it. If I need to access the camera, it's through a Wireguard VPN

    Trench fiber, cat6 etc

    Ubiquiti's wireless point to point bridges would also work and maybe even be the best solution for this case if it's cameras you are just interested in connecting. But wired is better than wireless obviously and since you already trenched it, no point in considering that. Fiber is better for...
