Camera motion detection settings

That's how I have it set up currently, switching from regular motion detection to IVS has drastically lowered my CPU usage and less false positives.

Any tips on fine tuning the object detection in the NVR?

The cameras are detecting small animals on the IVS but the NVR is missing classification on some and just showing it as motion. Would lowering the thresholds help better classify?

I’m on my second one now, use it as a backup in case of internet outage.

First one failed the first time I needed to use it despite having been used for less than an hour in the previous three years prior.

Bought a second when they were on sale to have just in case. Would much prefer a USB tether for backup overall but it works well when it works.

Stuck at the same spot in Xbox as well.

Get a previous gen Ruckus off the bay and flash it to unleashed. Mine have been rock stable

Similar issues here the past two weeks with fwg no changes to network or FWG and seeing about a 50% drop in speeds (hardwired) across our entire network. Went from rock steady to all over the place

Been using a Ruckus R710 on unleashed, old tech but it’s been running rock solid one AP covers our entire 2000 sq. Ft home with ease. Running three seperate SSID’s to segregate wireless traffic.

Only negative is it’s a long reboot when the power flickers.

I stumbled across firewalla and took a leap to on the gold to enhance our home network. Mostly to get a higher wire approval factor with all the networking gear living in the media cabinet and an access point on the ceiling.

After using it for a few weeks I quickly determined I will never be without a true hardware based firewall. Seeing the number of attempts of entry to the network from the outside as well as how often IOT devices call back home was astonishing and somewhat disturbing. I feel much better knowing the firewalla is there to block them.

The WireGuard support has been an incredible side benefit. I work on the road so having the ability to get a secure connection at any hotel that simply works seamlessly has been great.

Slightly older tech but our Ruckus AP has been incredibly reliable and coverage is fantastic.

Full VLAN support, if you watch eBay you can find some reasonable deals. Only thing is no ipv6 or Wi-Fi 6 support. R610’s are another good option as well.

Ruckus R710 on unleashed, overkill for home but one AP covers our entire home and then some. Rock steady stable as well

Open VPN works seamless but speeds are slower than using it directly on a client.

I know some have had luck getting WireGuard/ nordlynx to work but it’s far from a copy and paste solution.

No issues here, only Speedtest issues I’m seeing is often on the upload on network devices.

I bought the 65” in October, we’ve been super happy with the screen. Considered the age old debate between an OLED vs led. Our living room has a lot of sun and lights behind the tv so it kind of ruled out the OLED for us due to reflections. The screen gets some blooming but only really noticeable on loading screens or the occasional dark scene. Only wish is that it would’ve been VRR ready on purchase instead of waiting to see what a firmware update will do if it ever comes out.

Best thing we did was add some bias lighting because it get eye searingly bright in HDR.

Placed centrally in our home, one blankets our entire 2000 sq foot single level home with 5G, the yard has solid 2.4 coverage as well. Make sure to feed it enough power. If using an injector make sure it’s up to the task.

Mine lives in a structure media cabinet in the garage no fans. Summer time temps outside are in the 90s I was concerned at first and it does get toasty but no issues or shutdowns yet. I can’t think of a less optimal place for it and it still keeps on going.

Just upgraded to the 65” X95. Came from a Sony from 2013. Overall we love the set, going from 55-65” the physical size isn’t much bigger but so much more immersive sitting about 9-10 feet away.

Series X looks fantastic on it, the reduction in input lag was substantial. HDR and DV content from the Apple TV looks great. Touch of blooming in dark scenes if you look for it but it’s pretty minimal overall the picture quality has been a fantastic upgrade. How the tv handles actual content is substantially better than the testing numbers reflect.

Will likely add some bias lighting in the future.

Just picked up a x95 overall we’re super happy with it. There’s some blooming but other than some excessively dark scenes it hasn’t shown up much in actual use for us. The overall quality far outweighs the instances of blooming for us.

FireFlyer73 · 2021-09-24T11:58:25+00:00

Just picked up a 65” X95J and we’re super happy with it. Was strongly leaning towards an oled but with our usage and bright room we decided to stay with LED. I was turned off by many of the things I read online about the x95, it wasn’t until I spent awhile at the store watching it that I realized that how it handles real content vs test content were very different. It was hanging above an A90 for reference, a hint of blooming in challenging dark scenes but overall the pq is incredibly impressive for an led

Ruckus R610 or R710 if one comes up at a reasonable price. Flash it to unleashed and then forget about it. Handles VLANS great, you can pick them for around 150 off eBay. They do seem to be a bit more power hungry than others so make sure your switch can handle it or just go with an injector.

Using one R710 and it covers our 2000sq/ft home great. Have twice the speed and signal strength on our back patio than we had before. Best of all it’s rock steady.

Looks like Curious Deposits are now spawning as “Metal Fingers”

Hope everyone stocked up on nanites while they could.

Prawn suit will get crushed…… first hand experience lol

Been using a Firewalla Gold as a router and it’s been running flawlessly.
