Ok, I resolved it. Thanks for the reply. I started from scratch and finally got it to work. My issue is just general unfamiliarity with Windows. So, for posterity a recap of what I did for auto-starting BI Tools in Windows 10 and bypassing UAC : Go to Task Scheduler. Right click on Task...

I have tried that, although not the step of making a new folder within the Task Scheduler. However, I just went through and did that step by step to no avail. I have tried having the scheduled task simply run the program: C:\Program Files (x86)\Blue Iris Tools\Blue Iris Tools.exe" And I have...

I've been trying to get Blue Iris Tools to auto start in Windows 10 Pro without fully disabling UAC with no luck for some time. I always get the UAC prompt. There is clearly something I am missing. I've tried: Elevated Program Shortcut without UAC Prompt - Create - Windows 7 Help Forums I've...

Yes, I received an email from Monoprice today.

Yes, I checked it and this is indeed the cable I ran. Fair enough that other suppliers may have the same cable, but this speaks incredibly poorly on Monorpice IMO. I can't even fathom the amount of work it will be to replace the runs I did.

I ran a couple hundred feet of this cable in March, it was an incredible amount of work. I am done with Monoprice.

Great, thanks for the tips, I will try all those things. I am pretty sure the cables didn't get nicked or bent, although they were always conspiring to do so!

I ended up setting up big zip-tie loops throughout the long run from the basement to the garage. Then I ran a pull string with distance markers (USA Made 1250 Lb 1/2" Pull Tape/Mule Webbing - 500 FT (Many Strengths and Lengths Available) - - Amazon.com) through the loops, using the old, existing...

Well, I could always keep it outside the rack, just mount it vertically onto the plywood on the wall. Then see how the temperature fares. I would prefer to have everything in the rack for aesthetic purposes though. I decided to build a separate bench to house the computer and UPS though, so...

I'm planning on mounting mine in a network rack, underneath a couple of 24-port patch panels and above a Zyxel switch. I will have to check the temperature and see how hot it gets. I have some extra room in the rack though, I could give it more space if needed.

Wow, good to know. Are those a Ubiquity part specifically for that purpose, or something else?

Interesting, haven't seen this before. The comments on that seem to indicate it doesn't support multiple VLANs via WiFi, which is one thing I like about the AC AP Pro. I want to have a separate WiFi VLAN for the IoT devices in the house.

I decided to go with 2 1000' boxes of CAT6 23AWG. One reason was Monoprice didn't have any 250' boxes in white, and I want the lines to match the color of the garage walls (white). So for the long run (150') from the garage to the basement/NVR room, I will plan on running 2 lines at a time...

Great, thanks for the input. I ordered the 150W version.

Almost certainly!
