    UNIFI—The Best Option...?

    It's like 1200-1400. So only camera they have that might be close to 5442 lol

    UNIFI—The Best Option...?

    Would love to see it. I think we all know what the results would look like but at the same time the g6 might be alright since it's in the yellow area according to that one chart that's somewhere on here

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    Oh yeah, there is a definitely a solid dev team behind Protect which is the reason why it's very polished and some people might be on edge buying their cameras and switching, I was. If I was doing a new system today, I probably would've gone with them because their G6s are close to the standard...

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    Currently trying on Mac mini m4 with an HDD enclosure. This is basically the setup they recommend but I would rather have it on my main server which I am going to try to move back to now that many of the issues I had are sorted out. It is recommended to have a disk attached directly on the...

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    Software is truly the best I've seen so far. And the app is flawless too. Tons of integrations. You get the best experience with using, of course, their own cameras. They only support viewing and recording for third party cameras and you have to be lucky it picks up the correct resolution...

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    I have been trying out Scrypted NVR as a BlueIris replacement. It's basically close to the Protect experience, simple to setup, scrubbing is nice, app is great, and AI detentions/notifications work outside the box very well. Someone says it achieves 95% of what BI does with 5% of the work and...

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    They basically do marketing for them and don't question anything they do lol

    UNIFI—The Best Option...?

    No - it is the AI Port AI Port - Ubiquiti Store it enables AI detection and audio for 3rd party cameras. Not sure if it will fix image quality issues by going through that, maybe but not sure. And you can only use this with a limited number of cameras depending on their resolution. 5 Ubiquiti...

    UNIFI—The Best Option...?

    100% spot on. And I was very hopeful too and happy to hear about onvif support until I realized they really don't want people to use their own cameras and would make the experience bad to the point you would have to buy their own cameras to make a Protect installation worth it. Their G6...

    UNIFI—The Best Option...?

    Would love to see comparison between a 5442 and Unifi's newer G6 cameras, and even their more expensive 4k cameras. Surprised no one has done it already, would make people realize Unifi cameras, despite getting better on paper, are still not great - practically giving up image quality for nice...

    P2P isn't the same as Cloud and here is why

    Does anyone use P2P? I know it's the first thing I see when setting up a Dahua camera in which case I automatically disable it. If I need to access the camera, it's through a Wireguard VPN

    Trench fiber, cat6 etc

    Ubiquiti's wireless point to point bridges would also work and maybe even be the best solution for this case if it's cameras you are just interested in connecting. But wired is better than wireless obviously and since you already trenched it, no point in considering that. Fiber is better for...

    PTZ up control stuck

    They are Dahua/Andy cameras. I don't see the issue with two other computers so it seems like it's just mine. Weird seeing the issue on multiple browsers.

    PTZ up control stuck

    Fixed by clearing cache. Disregard, it worked but on reload it doesn't. Nice

    PTZ up control stuck

    My PTZ 'up' control is active so every ptz I click into just goes up. This was with new updates so switching back to stable fixed it but now on the stable version, it is happening again? This is happening on multiple browsers. Has anyone experienced this before?

    FTP backup / off-site backup

    I have an FTP server (also supports SMB) that ideally would want to record in addition of going to the 'New' folder. If not possible, at least back up clips per camera basis. I have been looking at Blue Iris Cloud because I am sure it's the same sort of setup and for this I have a couple of...

    Squirrel gets hit by a car and dies

    Reminds me of footage I got of the same thing, then gets dragged and eaten by Eagles or whatever they were... Was pretty funny to see every time a car drove past, they moved to the side of the road until it was clear lol

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    The whole language of this article points to the fact they weren't really going to support it, and mentions onvif support is so you slowly replace cameras with theirs which means downgrade to their cameras for many of us.

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    Turns out having the NVR right on my camera vlan solved the problem.

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    Yup, thought about that and used an account that blue iris already uses. Also made another account under onvif and still same thing. My one reolink camera gets the same error as well, not sure if it's because my cams on on another vlan but the fact I get a login error seems like they are still...

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    How were you able to add cameras? I tried the manual adoption to add Dahua cameras but I keep getting "Invalid credentials. Please check and try again."

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    Just purchased their 4 bay NVRs, onvif support in early access had me sold. Probably a little risky but I get a free camera out of it (G4 Bullet, G4 Pro if you purchase the 7 bay version) so that helped pull the trigger. See what happens...

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    Wow already? Thought it was at least take awhile to be confirmed at least. Do PTZ controls work?
