    Experience with Unifi Protect and UNVR Pro

    Glad my job was to just install a few cameras and an xvr. She even questioned the cost of the xvr. Said she'd seen them for less than 100 dollars. Some people dont' understand you get what you pay for......but i was just doing grunt work for the guy that sold her a dsc alm and dahua xvr cam sys.

    Parking lot light pole camera install

    We did some cameras on light poles. Used point to multipoint ubiquiti radios. Biggest problem was power to the light poles was very high voltage so their electrician installed a few step down xformers....so the only time the outside cams mounted on the poles worked was when the outside lights...

    58 cam install finally done.

    Uniview is a good sys. Everyone that does alm systems should at least help with the camera system. Don't underprice if you do quality work. Looks good.

    PTZ issue.......

    Some poe++ switches give priority to the 1st few ports. So port 1 and 2 using most of your switch budget will take power away from ports 6-8... Not all are the same.

    Be careful if you activate PTP on your NVR

    I also have p2p activated on my dahua nvr. I need to work on a better firewall/DNS. Some rabit hole i went down about ptp server locations and crap just made me think about it. I rarely check my cam system thru a public network but like the ability to do so. I get no notifications except...

    Be careful if you activate PTP on your NVR

    It's very troublesome with cloud security. I'm no specialist, and there's a great deal of info in the WIKI on securing your camera system. Even if it's not 100% correct it may be just enough to get skipped over if or when a ddos attack happens using your cameras. It may even be worse with...
