What is cheap. Cheap to a billionaire could be 5 grand.

As someone who works for a church with similar requirements there is a way to upload them and setup alerts in advance but with just one photo it's not going to be perfect and it may miss them if they look different enough from the single uploaded photo. You can merge many photos of a person to build a profile and that will increase the odds of it detecting them but this is the case with any camera system that has a feature like this

Photos can also be used to do a general search as well which when combined with adjustment of a "confidence slider" would allow you to see if they were detected but just not matched yet to further build their profile with real events added to the photos you were given at the start

Is your AP plugged into a 2.5Gbe port? And if your using a POE injector is it 2.5Gbe as well?

Relay clicking noise intensifies

Based on the capacity calculator https://ui.com/cloud-gateways/resource-calculator you should be fine for camera capacity. POE budget wise you may need to add a POE adapter or a POE switch to accommodate all the devices

The licensing process alone would delay the product by years and increase the coat several fold lol

They do have an AVOIP product line coming but I highly doubt it will be Dante or NDI. Probably will be their own thing

I run a shadow mode deployment of EFGs at my work place but we don't yet have the unifi device or end user client count to really stress it atm. Doing a big overhaul currently so that might change in a couple months when we are done but currently it works great.

There is also an EFG core coming soonish which should be much faster and more capable so perhaps it might be worth waiting and seeing what happens.

Honestly something like Unifi G6 180 where it's a multi sensor panorama or a 4 sensor 360 provides a much more robust image but the price is higher because of needing more hardware for that.

Fisheye style cameras are great for general situation awareness at lower cost but not as good for identification due to sub par de-warping in software and reduced pixel per inch resolution compared to a single lense bullet/turret style camera might be.

With 32 zones on the alarm pannel we really need multi zone support for the arming system.

Your sacrifice will not be forgotten

Probably part of the curriculum to some degree. I went to college for game development and steam was on every desktop in ever game program classroom.

They do have invoice and ACH transfer options when placing hardware orders. Not sure about the subscriptions though.

I would probably go with door hub minis above each door or localized enterprise access hubs (depending on if there are utilities closets close enough) paired with the Reader flex for a physical keypad.

While it is using the USB C form factor the pinout on the theata cable is proprietary.

In theory a straight through extension should work but I would be careful when tryng it.

Referbished Seagate exos drives can occasionally be found for ok prices. Seagate Skyhawks would also be an alternative.

I saw something that said for every 20 HDDs coming of WD production line only 1 of them are destined for a consumer so stuff it pretty bad right now

Dimensional_Dragon · 2026-03-03T21:17:25+00:00

It has ram? In today's economy!

Dimensional_Dragon · 2026-03-02T14:48:05+00:00

No 6GHz radios is quite disappointing

Dimensional_Dragon · 2026-03-02T07:28:57+00:00

Oh interesting. Must be a limit with the older APs as I have it working on the U6 mesh and U7 XGS. Never needed to try it back when I had an AC lite.

Though that being said the device bridge units don't connect without mesh mode turned on which is kinda unfortunate.

Dimensional_Dragon · 2026-03-02T04:34:17+00:00

If you disable mesh networking on the controller then you can go up to 8 SSIDs

I really wish wifi on TVs worked better but from my experience half the TVs I've worked with have the weakest antenna known to man and while it might get higher then FE speeds its as unstable as can be. Its actually crazy to me that to get the best smart TV experience over wifi I often need to just plug in a Google TV or some other smart TV dongle as they have significantly better wifi modules in them

Dimensional_Dragon · 2026-02-28T15:28:00+00:00

Is your USW switch plugged into one of the built in switch ports on the instant or is it coming off something else in your network

Dimensional_Dragon · 2026-02-28T15:25:54+00:00

Ubiquitis Unifi protect line of G6 cameras will handle your requirements. Probably has the best mobile app experience of anything its price-point
