    Beat a protect setup

    Update.. USG VPN and DuckDNS done except android's default L2TP/IPSec PSK doesn't support always on with DDNS. Yuck. I'm going to try OpenVPN as an alternative. I really don't want to tell my wife she needs to launch a VPN then view the cameras. She is more than capable, but it is something I...

    Always-on VPN Android with DDNS

    I know there are some gurus out there. I'm doing this the right way-ish. USG setup for VPN DuckDNS setup for dynamic IP DNS resolve Android pointing to DuckDNS URL Android can't do "always-on" VPN with a name, it needs a numeric entry :( There must be a client that supports this, I get why...

    Beat a protect setup

    It turns out with Android, you can use the default VPN client. The VPN can be set to "always on" and you can manually set a forwarding route to ensure only traffic to/from your home is routed via the VPN. Since I do not have magically symmetric fiber at my home, I will pay a price when viewing...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    I apologize in advance. I searched but can't find a reasonable explanation for how this is possible: You can route just your home LAN over the VPN connection, in this configuration leaving it permanently connected should not cause any issues and you wont have to do it manually every time.. some...

    Beat a protect setup

    Sorry. I have nothing but ubiquiti gear. Looking to add Poe cameras. Ubiquiti cameras are not great for the money but protect has high waf with great, easy app. Dahua is a great camera, but I'm not sure how to best create a similar waf solution. What have you done? Blue Iris + port forward is...

    Beat a protect setup

    Ok, somewhat of a newb here and I've done some fair amount of searching but I'm trying to beat a protect setup for high WAF. If I gave into the ecosystem and sacrificed on camera quality, I know, I know.. the WAF would be high as there are dedicated apps with "secure" channels into the Unifi...

    Outdoor/Indoor cable junction

    Looking at toughcable too. Having a thought, do I need surge protectors for these outdoor runs? Does anyone make a multiple cable solution? The eth-sp seems silly to have half a dozen individual units.

    Outdoor/Indoor cable junction

    I have a vinyl sided house and plan to hide my runs behind the siding. I want to run outdoor pure copper cat 6, but no this cable shouldn't be run indoors. My thought for a few runs was to run through spots in my basement which will be finished off in the next few months. Do people typically run...

    Newb.. planning

    Think my setup is as follows: 5 - 2231R-ZS 1 - Basement door 1 - Driveway/Street 1 - Driveway/Garages 1 - Back Deck Door 1/Pool 1 - Back Deck Door 2/Pool 1 - 4231F-AS 1 - Front Porch/Door Basement - 1 - US-16-150W 1 - USG 1 - Bonded MoCA Adapter 1 - Blue Iris install TBD 1 - Legacy 16...

    Newb.. planning

    Awesome.. thanks I think with my SE facing covered front porch, and NW/Ne exposure back/basement doors I'd be ok, but if rain and dirt spots become an issue with domes, then I'll need to change for sure. Eyeballs instead, HDW2231RP-ZS seem reasonable..

    Newb.. planning

    Hmm I definitely want some coverage at night, I didn't realize the 4321f-as were poor. I assumed their popularity for porch included some night coverage

    Newb.. planning

    Thanks, I didn't even think about covering back doors. Duh.. my deck has two back doors. Covering those with wedge cameras would actually cover pool as well I suspect. So that's 6, call it 8 for good measure. Sounds like a 16-150w ubiquiti in the basement is needed. Oh shucks. :)

    Newb.. planning

    Camera capturing the curb of the circle is a 5231RZE, the rest are 4231FAS. I recognize the actual use of the wedge cameras at long range is not there, but it was more it illustrate the overlap. Plan would be to add one more camera to the back for detect purposes. This satellite view doesn't...

    Newb.. planning

    I'll post a screenshot from ipvm later. Maybe I could cross 2 -4232 from each corner of my driveway. Then one pointed down towards the road. I agree more cameras, just overwhelmed with the amount from dahua, great that they are purpose built but hard to weed through

    Newb.. planning

    I've been doing some reading and i'm slowing planning my build. I think a HDBW4231F-AS will do for the front porch and the basement door. I want to monitor my back yard where we have a pool. Thinking another 4231 can handle detect purposes. This leaves my driveway open. Camera below the eaves...
