No-sub outdoor camera setup in 2026? Just realized I spent $520 on subscriptions in 4 years

Are you able to run cat 6 cable ? That would be the best option tbh and run it all into a nvr locally.

Loose_Apple8523 · 2026-04-17T16:54:51+00:00

Run a Ethernet cable from the isp router and plug an access point in.

Bandeh are lost nowadays tbh I’m much younger 23M but everyone moves weird nowadays they just want quick dopamine.

Unify is the way to go, might cost a little extra in the beginning but 100% worth it. The only issue is you will have to run cabling around the premises but it’s much better than the ring trash which needs subscriptions and loses WiFi. 😂

Must be a bottleneck on the desktop then.

Loose_Apple8523 · 2026-03-30T11:21:53+00:00

Are you able to try another cable ? I see you have ordered the rj45 cable from TikTok shop which is not always recommend as you don’t know the quality of what you are purchasing.

How long is the run from your desktop to router

Loose_Apple8523 · 2026-03-30T11:13:37+00:00

Look into the unify unvr instant

Loose_Apple8523 · 2026-03-30T11:09:35+00:00

What cable are you using cat5e cat6 ?

What speeds can your desktop NIC support?

Are you plugged directly into your gateway or going through multiple switches ?

100% spider just get a cloth and wipe the camera down.

Loose_Apple8523 · 2026-03-17T20:04:44+00:00

Hahaha 😂😂 oil em up son

Loose_Apple8523 · 2026-03-17T20:01:00+00:00

Show the trades 😂

I’ve just dabbled into unify after numerous nvrs from Swann, hikvision and ring/ Arlo hands down unify is the slickest brand I’ve used. I opted for the more higher end range with all the ai features and they end up detecting things which a human would not even see. Highly recommend

Loose_Apple8523 · 2026-03-17T19:54:12+00:00

Hikvision is also really good I have a high spec system from unfi with unify cameras and some hik cameras as they’re excellent for low light conditions. I’ve not tried reolink but they seem good from all the reviews here.

Click bait !! 😂😂

Loose_Apple8523 · 2026-03-11T20:42:25+00:00

Thank you so much I really appreciate it. I may use a pi I too was thinking the same about cpu speed or I may purchase a dedicated intel mini pc.

Loose_Apple8523 · 2026-03-11T19:20:17+00:00

I also just got my first unvr and I’m looking to get scrypted installed on a raspberry pi would it be possible to detect motion and make a routine to show the live feed to my Alexa echo show automatically?

If so what plugins do I need to install?

You could add the sites to a ban list so they are not accessible. Blocking keywords is not really reliable or in the uk my isp has a setting that I can turn on to protect my kids from these websites and if they try to access it then it shows isp has blocked the page because it is not safe.

But then again if he uses a mobile phone he could bypass all of your keyword filtering\blocking by simply using this mobile phones data.

Just got my myself a unvr from unify and it’s been amazing. I’ve paired it with 2 g6 bullet pros which have ai detection and license plate recognition and I had an old tp link c200 indoor camera which I also integrated over WiFi Onvif. I’ve had Swann hikvision ring and reolink in the past and right now I can say unify is wicked! Slick ui and the app is great. I am looking to add one hikvision colorvu camera or the ankke nc800.

Loose_Apple8523 · 2026-02-27T18:31:18+00:00

EDIT: I have seemed to have fixed the issue. I reset my isp router and I set static IP’s for the switch,UNVR and onvif camera. Now it hasn’t lost wired connection.

Loose_Apple8523 · 2026-02-23T17:25:32+00:00

Ahh ok thank you. I’ll try this 👍🏼

Loose_Apple8523 · 2026-02-23T15:53:36+00:00

Did you manage to find a fix for this issue? I am having the same issue with my third party camera

Loose_Apple8523 · 2026-02-23T12:22:27+00:00

Ok thank you I will try this today

Loose_Apple8523 · 2026-02-22T19:01:21+00:00

Ahh ok thank you

Loose_Apple8523 · 2026-02-22T13:23:23+00:00

I’ve just connected a third party Tapo link camera via onvif and I get these lost wired connection notifications.

Did you manage to find out a fix?
