    Ubiquiti Networks Cloud Gateway Ultra

    Has the controller gotten better? I used to have everything Unifi (APs, switches, routers) but moved off them years ago as their controller software just sucks. Lots of bugs from what I can remember. Ended up going with Aruba Instant On products and these things are bullet proof. Maybe the...

    Blue Iris Updates - Official Thread

    New eCommerce provider? Looks like its SendOwl now when you try to purchase a new license. I have no idea if they are better or worse than Digital River but I feel like ANYONE has to be better than Digital River.

    Review-Dahua/EmpireTech Dual lens IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2 (The Boobie Cam Upgrade)

    Well I figured it out. I didn't have IVS enabled on Channel 2. Didn't even see the drop down menu. Bah!

    Review-Dahua/EmpireTech Dual lens IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2 (The Boobie Cam Upgrade)

    I'm having issues getting IVS to work on both streams with this cam. IVS works perfectly fine on Steam 1. It triggers and sends ONVIF events to BI with no issue.. However, on Steam 2, IVS doesn't work at all. Even on the liveview of the cam using IE and the old plugin, Steam 2 doesn't even...

    Home insurance rate increases

    I had to do that when I signed up with a new insurance company last year. I had to download their app and take pictures of all kinds of crap.

    Review-Dahua/EmpireTech Dual lens IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2 (The Boobie Cam Upgrade)

    Is this still the "go to" multi sensor camera that isn't $500+? Need one for indoor retail space. Ideally, I'd like 4 sensors but 2 will also work.

    Review- Dahua/EmpireTech IPC-EW5541-AS 5mp Fisheye Cam

    Is there anyway to dewarp this in BI with live viewing yet? Considering this for my store but really don't want the huge panoramic view in BI. Can individual channels be accessed in BI that would give dewarped views?

    IPC-Color4K-T and IPC-Color4K-T180 230227 Firmware

    Maybe a browser cache issue. May want to delete all cookies and cache and try again.

    Chat GPT says this is more secure than using a VPN for remote access

    +1 for Tailscale. Amazing how easy it is to work with.

    Lightning murdered my cam

    Anything mounted in a tree or flag pole or whatever sticking up into the air above other structures needs to be ran with fiber. Conduit at the base of the tree with power/nema enclosure can power the fiber transceivers and the camera itself.

    Amazon courier stole one of my Empiretech 5442.....

    Im surprised Amazon isn’t siding with you. Have you contacted Andy? I know it’s not his fault but he may have some advice.

    Running minimal wattage security system on DC

    What are the amp hour capacity of the batteries? You can determine runtime pretty quickly with that and known power consumption. Off grid camera system on solar can be done pretty easily without WiFi. It’s when you add wifi radio and a switch to power the wifi/camera that things start getting...

    Emergency Power/Storms/Prepping etc

    I think I responded to you over on Reddit! That's pretty good and a good estimate on what I'd use in a similar situation as yours. That is just a bit over $.50/hour. I pay about $.35/therm. My gen uses approx 2 therm/hour at 50% load (~10kW) which would probably be way more kW than I'd be...

    Set up cameras on a Comcast/Xfinity home network

    If you are using your own router/switch then it doesn't matter. The cable modem is just a dumb OSI layer 1 and 2 device that is just passing internet traffic. It has no concept of VLANS if you are running a router behind it as your router handles all of that. Now if you are using their modem...

    Set up cameras on a Comcast/Xfinity home network

    If you are already doing VLANS, then put them in their own VLAN and disallow internet access from any device inside that VLAN.

    I was hoping Debbie would at least knock out our power for 10 minutes or so just to run the gen!

    What does that do for the power output of the portable with a NG conversion kit? Reduce it by ~20%?

    Server/CPU recommendations for ESXi host for Blue Iris, Linux media/file/web server

    If remote management is a sticking point, then used server hardware (Dell, HP, Supermicro) is going to be pretty much all you will be able to get. I’ve been running Proxmox for years off just consumer gear. BI runs great in a win 10 VM with only 6GB of RAM on Proxmox.

    I wish Honda made a Tri fuel Gen. I’d buy it in a heartbeat. Would be a nice to have a backup portable but I don’t want to fool with gasoline.

    Looking through my manual I'm wondering why Generac recommends using a 5w-30 synthetic for all temps nowadays in their air cooled generators. Seems like higher temps would need a thicker blend but that is not what they are recommending...

    There is just so much Chinese junk on Amazon. I tend to stay away from most electronics on there unless they are brand name and it says it's sold by the actual manufacturer.

    Emergency Power/Storms/Prepping etc

    This seems to be more for people that don't have insurance. Their FAQ says they don't pay insurance deductibles and they also don't pay for anything insurance covers. I guess if one felt that insurance didn't meet their needs, this could make up the difference? I'll bookmark it for the...

    Emergency Power/Storms/Prepping etc

    I guess my question is, what is it for? People that don't have insurance? Deducible payout? I guess I need to read up on that. I should have checked into this during Hurricane Michael back in 2018. I've gotten SBA loans before via FEMA decades ago but have never used them for anything else.

    Genmon fetches everything and sends it to the MQTT broker. Then Node Red -> InfluxDB -> Grafana. It has taken me longer to setup the dashboard than anything else! I had to run ethernet out to the generator for the Raspberry Pi to host genmon out there. Wifi just wasn't cutting it with the...
