Opinions on Ubiquiti (Unifi) Cameras?
My comment: Don't do it. I was a beta tester and then alpha tester for UniFi video. The roadmap for the software was/is too ambitious and the cameras are propriety, limited, and at least a generation behind. My recommendations: Get Blue Iris, a PC,and some Dahua IPCs and you will have a great...- Ford

Question regarding cat cable
These have regular ethernet connections (no weather proofing) and a non-weather proof case. They need to be deployed like any other 'indoor' type network gear. Note they have adequate operating temperature ranges so there is no unusual heating/cooling requirements for whatever enclosure you...- Ford

Question regarding cat cable
I have used this guy when I have time for slow delivery: ohivision2015 on eBay and this guy when I need them in a quicker turnaround: unacart12 on eBay Note: These are your typical ebay stores from China that ship out cheap Chinese electronics by the truck load. I give no recommendations on...- Ford

Question regarding cat cable
I have used these often and they are fine outdoors if out of the weather. These are super handy and a time saver. So far I have not had one fail (I always carry spares, which is probably why haha). I order from ebay (china) as there is always lots available and it is super easy to pay with no...- Ford

What kind of IP Cam do I need to monitor a business overseas?
Wow, sounds like a great boss to work for. Did you also setup a VOIP service so he could cheaply tear a strip off his employees when his spying catches them working at less than 110%?- Ford

Dual Wan vpn router recommendation
The best deal is the ubiquiti Edgemax routers. They will do multi WAN (load balanced and/or failover) and VPN and are dirt cheap. They are enterprise grade but there is no subscriptions required. You will have to use the CLI to implement the advanced stuff and it can be a steep learning...- Ford

Opinions on Ubiquiti (Unifi) Cameras?
wcleme11, this is typical of my experience of promises of NVR software upgrades "real soon now" to address multiple bugs that do not actually fix the bugs. I was a beta tester, then an alpha, all in attempt to be able to have enough confidence to deploy a couple of unifi video systems that I...- Ford

Opinions on Ubiquiti (Unifi) Cameras?
hey boma23, I know Tom is trying to push his company's products, but.... No one ever got fired for spec'ing out dahua or Hikvision, I can't say the same for ubnt's NVR/IPcam solutions. Respectfully, you can try to veer from the tried and true best practices on a surveillance system, but if...- Ford

Opinions on Ubiquiti (Unifi) Cameras?
Run, run away from ubnt's cams and nvr's. I gave the system 18 months to prove itself in the lab, and the constant crashes, missing features that were coming "real soon now" and dubious roadmap made me give up and move on. I gave up on them long before they boughed to the pressure to add...- Ford

Dahua Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN & SD29204T-GN)
There are literally no deployment instructions with this IPC, not even much on Dahua's site (at least that I can see) so I would consider this a Pro model. If you need hand holding this is not the model for you. For Pros, this is a super simple configuration to setup. Even more so because... -

Dahua Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN & SD29204T-GN)

Where is the best deal on a reliable box to run Blue Iris? My sister is looking for a IPCam setup and I can't in good faith recommend a DVR! Specs - Win 10 - enough 'jamb' to run up to 10 4M IPCams (edited: was originally 4K ) - reasonably power efficient and low noise -... -
