    Proxmox BI setup

    I’ve got Proxmox fully set up, and my Blue Iris VM is working almost completely normally. I installed the stable version I’ve been running for the past year (5.9.9.73), imported my .reg backup, and transferred my license. However, I’m not receiving push notifications on my phone for any IVS...

    Proxmox BI setup

    I checked my settings and realized Hardware Acceleration wasn't enabled. My Proxmox setup is ready now, though—the Windows VM is prepped for Blue Iris with your recommended settings, and I've temporarily set the HDD to read-only during the setup phase. How do you like Proxmox? Blue Iris has...

    Proxmox BI setup

    Got bored and transitioning my windows 11 homelab to Proxmox. Ill have a Debian VM for my Jellyfin server that definitely needs iGPU passed through. I currently have 7 cams that record direct to disk that get alerts from IVS rules. Am I going to suffer by not having an iGPU or will it not be...

    Looks like Ubiquiti has lost its steam and their pricing structure is extremely manipulative

    Excited to see how the Omada NVR116P-2T and the Fusion 2.5G PoE are priced and how their NVR suite is.

    Color4M-T (3.6mm)

    Didn't have a need to add a 7th camera but won this guy from Andy's raffle so I spent the weekend running conduit under the driveway to my detached garage to feed this fella. Above the camera is a dusk to dawn light so this is my one camera that runs in color 24/7. Suppose I need a bigger...

    Should you install CCTV Cameras yourself or hire a professional?

    I'd say its largely dependent on how difficult the cat6 drops are in your residence. Once cabling is ran the rest is all downhill from there.

    So close with Unifi Protect

    Yup! 4K: 1 camera 2K: Up to 2 cameras HD: Up to 3 cameras I’ve read they have a TON of headroom so I’m optimistic they’ll push an update for possibly 3-4 2k cams per port, I know they could.

    So close with Unifi Protect

    The way I look at it…I want protect but not their dogshit cameras. G6 Pro is 550$. A 5442 cost me 180 and a port per 2 cameras works out to 280 per cam. That’s how I swallowed it.

    So close with Unifi Protect

    I tried and couldn't get it to work with Tripwires, he has since pushed an update that is supposed to fix that but. I subsequently deployed an ai port recently and have been pretty impressed.

    It looks like better ONVIF support is coming to UniFi Protect

    Ai port has been implemented, its pretty cool. Curious to see how reliable it is, I have read they can be buggy and randomly reboot or unpair with cameras. If the are deemed reliable, I just need to get a powershell written to make free space on an external archived SMB share and we'll be...

    PTZ call to zone and tracking problems

    Finally got a a chance to mess with this, no luck. The presets are set on the PTZ's GUI. Do they need to be added to BI instead?
  13. Defender574

    Need recommendations on PTZ cameras.

    Listen to Wittaj and Bigred. Bite the bullet and get the PTZ5A4M-25X and use spotter cams. You will not be disappointed.

    Omada versus Ubiquiti

    Yeah, the eitherlighting has the augmented reality feature too. The most helpful feature is if you have several say cameras and don't know what one goes where, you can ping it from the console and it will make the port lighting flash. I have used that a few times before my was organized and...

    Omada versus Ubiquiti

    For 16-24 port switches? Not really it just looks cool and you can tell what plugs are going to what vlans. Now if you have multiple 48 port switches I could see it being argued as useful.
