    Is this a Verkada camera?

    New "edge" cameras

    LOL.... Now I wonder.... Since in order to view the metadata of the camera you would need to log into unifi protect... Who would actually use the camera standalone? Since the camera is 4K... 128 gigs would only give you a few days max of recording. Makes sense to have a UNVR or some sort...

    New "edge" cameras

    What is the selling point on this? So from my understanding... This new "edge" camera is the same camera as the "pro". The only difference is new software that would allow for it to run standalone without a Unifi NVR. They added a 128 gig SD card with this camera. At the end of the day this...

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    The cameras already have AI coding. This is supposedly better than H265. This new version is Super AI Coding which is a better version of AI coding. Not too sure on the specifics of it but you would probably need an NVR that has that capability in order for it to work. Then again.... How...

    Is there any reason to go analog?

    Is there any really currently at this day and age to go analog using siamese cable with DVR? I guess it could be said that in you can go farther distances and less latency. Cheaper cameras but more expensive cabling. DVR's can't handle the higher FPS that the camera is able to output at...

    Motion detection issue on Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL

    I remember there is a setting where you would set an amount of time in seconds before another detection can be triggered. Now.... I would check the logs on what type of detection is being triggered. It could be that one is a motion detection or another is a VCA. It could also be that one is a...

    Camera not switching to night vision.

    IR filter getting stuck is still a thing. Usually it stems from rough handling of the camera before installation..... Such as dropping the camera while still in packaging. Another would be voltage differences powering up the camera. But yeah... A few taps with a rubber mallet usually will...

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

    I think the general public is reacting to the pricing or what you are getting for the ubiquiti pricing. I would usually frequent the Micro Center website for good deals on open box Ubiquiti stuff.... Ever since they started adding on all the tariff and surcharges... There has been A LOT of...

    Motion detection issue on Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL

    Motion detection works off of pixel changes in the image. So depending on how sensitive you have the motion detection set and where you put the grid in the image. Any change in color to the pixel will set it off. Now they have improved it with the human/vehicle filtering which is detecting...

    Camera not switching to night vision.

    I would check the settings first. In the NVR, go into the "Image" settings and find that camera (channel). You will look for "Day/Night Switch". By default the camera should be on auto. Then there is the "sensitivity" for switching. This is basically how dark does it have to be before the...

    G3 ColorVU Night Settings

    The G3 that you have in my opinion is a mixed bag when trying to get a good color image at night if you decide not to use without the white light on. Here is the best I got. For me, changing the shutter speed and gain on this camera will result in a worse color image that is unusable...

    G3 ColorVU Night Settings

    If you want it to not turn on the white light on the camera at night, leave it in "day" mode. Auto would utilize a photo sensor or something that would click the white light on or off depending on lighting conditions. Setting it to "night" mode would keep the white light on indefinitely until...

    So close with Unifi Protect

    It depend on what the resolution is on the cameras. If it is set to 1440 then you can have two per AI Port. If it is set to 1520 then it rounds it up to 4K meaning only one per AI Port. So for it to qualify as 2K it needs to be the 2560 x 1440. 2688 x 1520 will be classified as "4K" even...

    Dahua Lens Replacement

    One thing to note is that you will notice a difference in image quality depending on the quality of the lens. So depending on how optically clear and some other aspects of the replacement lens you may get an improvement in the clarity and brightness of the image. Here is an example on the...

    Dahua Lens Replacement

    Single lens camera is a LTS ProX which uses a M16. The pano....which by the way didn't work out due to there not being a horizontal adjustability of the lens itself is an Annke FCD600. That one had M12's inside.

    Dahua Lens Replacement

    From my experience, some have a threadlocker... others have what looks like a hot glue. Removing the lens can be as easy as just twisting it off by hand or use some adjustable pliers to grab around the outer plastic ring on the lens and untwisting. One thing to note is that before fully...

    Mount for T54IR-ZE-S3

    I would say this is a knockoff.... The PFA130-E is suppose to be an aluminum alloy. Not sure how well ABS plastic would hold up in the sun.

    Buying Discontinued Hikvision Bullet Cameras

    I would say there is no downsides to getting discontinued stock. The industry has more or less seemingly stagnant. I haven't really noticed much improvement in the hardware and image quality. I would say it has gone downhill a little. The recent cameras I have seen they seem to have upped...

    Introducing UniFi Protect 7.2

    I know exactly what you mean. I got some coworkers that are writing their emails with ChatGPT and reading what is written is a real headscratcher as the grammar with the context is awkward.

    Introducing UniFi Protect 7.2

    So someone at Ubiquiti must have a language barrier where they thought "official" is the beta test software and "early access" is the stable one?

    Omada versus Ubiquiti

    Hmm..... Wasn't there a feature where you scan the QR code off the screen of the switch and it uses AR to tell you what/where each port is connected to? I haven't used it in a while so not sure if it is still a feature or not. I would think that was a more useful feature. Honestly, I just...

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

    I'm with you.... I have stopped buying from the Ubiquiti website a while back and only bought through Micro Center since they have the message about "No memory surcharges" but seems starting last week, it is not the case anymore. While I can say that pricing at Micro Center is a little...

    Introducing UniFi Protect 7.2

    Anyone update their software lately? The interface tells me there is a new version available but when I click on the "discussion".... seems there are lots of issues... I keep seeing it not just on "Network" but also on "Protect". I have turned off the auto updates because of this.

    Omada versus Ubiquiti

    The question is.... Is etherlighting really useful or just a gimmick. I got some switches with it but I honestly never pay attention to them. Just waiting for those lights to burn out or get more and more dim like what happens with the Unifi AP's.

    NDAA update

    I have seen that a lot of what was once Dahua suppliers now are Luminys.... Even though they don't admit it. So for AmLink... Looking at a spec sheet for a camera and what do I see. Dahua part numbers for the mounts. You find out a lot by going through the user manuals.... This sure looks...

    It looks like better ONVIF support is coming to UniFi Protect

    Seems a lot of the cameras release in the past two years or so would list a 4MP camera with a resolution of 2688 x 1520. If this is the case, the AI Port would count this as a 4K meaning you can only add one camera to that AI Port. The resolution cannot be over the 2560 by 1440 in order for it...

    Omada versus Ubiquiti

    I have been using Ubiquiti for my network. I feel as with all companies that there are good and bad products. The most important is to do the research before picking something up. For example, I still have my Unifi AC LR, AC Lite and AC Mesh that has been in service for over six years. No...

    Omada versus Ubiquiti

    I've always noticed how the Omada line seems to mimic what Ubiquiti offers but at roughly have the price. Funny how the software process is also close and how the packaging seems very similar. Makes me wonder if the products are somehow linked. Does one company make the other's products or is...
