They attempted to snag mine in my work parking lot. Got scared off 95% of the way through, lucky for me as it saved me a few dollars but at the same time, I am almost more pissed. They damaged my car, and my time and they didn't even get anything for it. The best part, the office building has no...

Does your state not do this? Our police force has APLR on I would say 25% of their cars and they are constantly scanning and they get alerts on their laptops if a car is not registered. The DMV also checks yearly when you renew if you have insurance for the car and will deny tags if you are not...

The issue is typically IR reflections when shooting through glass, if you turn that off it should be fine, I am considering the same since I didn't get enough zoom out of my turret to catch plates but I do not want a big ass bullet on the front of my house

yes, but you are still limited as they have to decode the video. It just process images way better with less processing then BI with Deep stack

This one. Its Ovif

I use it, I like it a lot. I do not use it as a 24/7 NVR, I leave that to my amcrest nvr. Not because it could not be used as such but harder with how I have it installed. I use it for smart detections inside home assistant. If you want one do-it all app you will not get that with Frigate at...

I really suggest you try a smart lock before thinking that. I have my doors and garage doors automated. It's upped my security. I never have to wonder if my doors are locked. They shut automatically if left open, they lock after 30 seconds of being closed. I have overrides if I am going in and...

It's a complete novelty but I have found it to be useful on occasion. I have it trained on family, neighbors, and delivery drivers, this allows me to feed this info into home assistant and have my google hubs announce different things depending on who it is. It's nice to get the announcement of...

Big oof, I hope that the amazon package was worth the felonies to this person.

I actually like Wyze cams, they are a half measure but they are nice for inside or temporary spots.

It's not so much about running the cable, that's easy. It's that I don't want multiple cameras stacked on top of each other, the same that I don't want a massive ptz on the eve. I like cameras but I also don't want 500 cameras dotted on my house. I do my best to hide them. That's what is nice...

I have two 2.8mm cameras on either side of my garage doors. One looks left and the other looks right covering where USP drops stuff against my garage door. I haven't gotten the energy to get in my attic to install a camera up on the eve as an overview looking to the left and I want to do LPR so...

The boobie camera is very tempting but I don't want domes, I am also debating a PTZ with auto-tracking but finding that is a small enough camera body is a challege.

I went digging and the amcrest integration used in home assistant amcrest-python does have the ability to send audio files to the doorbell and other amcrest cameras but it hasn't been added into home assistant yet. not as good but something if someone smarter then me could figure that out.

The home assistant integration is why I am considering one even at the crazy pricing. It exposes a media player that you can use home assistant to send any audio that you want to the device. I posted a video a while back of someone using the g4 doorbell to do this. He had facial rec running so...

The US. It's in the title and the link Bellevue, WA

G4 Doorbell Pro PoE Adapter– Ubiquiti Inc.

I plan on giving it a shot when I start messing with LPR. To cold to bother changing cameras out right now.

It doesn't break out power/data. The adapter changes POE to USB C

Data and power work over their POE adapter. It has been confirmed by them multiple times.

It is POE with a $40 adapter

I have my cameras to set off sirens and turn on interior lights.

Active deterrence cameras have built-in lights and sirens that can be automatically triggered by ivs rules/AI

Why would you pay for this service when you can buy an active deterrence camera and be done with it?

It doesn't support them directly, RTSP is produced by their protect product. https://community.ui.com/questions/How-does-RTSP-work-on-Protect/448bd517-7991-4d45-982c-33eff0d22184. Being said you need protect to use it, also using blue iris is pretty dumb as you would just end up with two nvrs.

They do but it's ultimately pointless as you still need their protect nvr device so you would end up with two NVRs.

LOL, I am lucky if it sticks to holidays. In football season they are lighting them off for every touchdown, baseball season is a little calmer, and it's usually only for home runs. 4th of july was a solid 30 days of fireworks.

I mean probably, the cops need to focus on shutting down the recyclers taking them if they want it to stop.
