    Omada versus Ubiquiti

    I have been using Ubiquiti for my network. I feel as with all companies that there are good and bad products. The most important is to do the research before picking something up. For example, I still have my Unifi AC LR, AC Lite and AC Mesh that has been in service for over six years. No...

    Omada versus Ubiquiti

    I've always noticed how the Omada line seems to mimic what Ubiquiti offers but at roughly have the price. Funny how the software process is also close and how the packaging seems very similar. Makes me wonder if the products are somehow linked. Does one company make the other's products or is...

    Modular camera?

    Not sure the viability of this or of something is already out on the market.... Seems lots of manufacturers use the same camera housing and mounting system but is there an actual modular camera out on the market? From my experience on taking apart my cameras, there is usually a couple boards...

    NDAA update

    As far as my understanding, originally was said that jobs for government facilities or facilities using government funding needed NDAA compliant products. Hikvision/Dahua cannot receive FCC approval on any new products. Existing products that are already FCC approved are grandfathered in...

    NDAA update

    I've heard previously that ADI sent all their Hikvision products back to Hikvision for credit and no longer carry their products. Some smaller distributors I seen bought these products at a discounted rate to resell a few months ago from Hikvision and were selling them at a slight discount...

    NDAA update

    What does every think about the latest NDAA ban? Seems the brands that were banned before.... There is that new ruling that means starting tomorrow, 7/15/2026, vendors are not allowed to sell the products. This is not only on the branded items from Hikvision and Dahua... but also vendor's...

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    No problem. This is an old thread and going through it recently I noticed that some probably didn't know about the different versions even though it is the same model number. Honestly the version 3 is not a great value as it was previously. Version 1 was the best as far as physical hardware...

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    From what I have noticed, the FCD600 and FCD800 for the past six months or more is not the same as when this thread was started. Original (Version 1) - This was only the FCD600 so 6MP. This one had a full metal housing which is on the camera itself (part where all the lens and electronics are...

    AI Port added to Ubiquiti doorbell

    Some things I have noticed..... When adding the "Doorbell Lite" to pair with AI Port, it won't let you run it at full resolution. Limited to 2K and not 2K+.... So I guess I am getting 4MP instead of the 5MP. IR range is not great, as with all doorbells, but the cameras at the sides of my...

    AI Port added to Ubiquiti doorbell

    Is there any reason to add a Ubiquiti doorbell to an AI Port? I got the "Doorbell Lite" and it already has smart detections for human/vehicle/animals. Now..... I did add it to my AI Port just because I had one without anything paired but after a week of using it that way, I am asking myself...

    Unifi Protect Calculator Tool

    I think on the actual device used for recording that the limit is just a "suggestion". My cloud key has been saying that the camera limit is exceeded but I have since connected another two cameras for testing and it actually let me adopt it. I was thinking it wouldn't let me add any more but...
