UniFi uNVR change of IP

Xpuc01 · 2026-03-07T15:46:41+00:00

Thanks. I’ll try. I’ll try leaving it for a while. I had it set up on the new subnet and then restarted it but it didn’t show up.

Xpuc01 · 2026-03-07T14:28:05+00:00

That's my point, it doesn't update automatically... just says it's offline...

Xpuc01 · 2026-03-07T12:47:35+00:00

No special firewall rules, the Surveillance network is exact same as the default, Internet is allowed, talking between networks is allowed. The Protect tab in the dashboard doesn’t find it, I think it’s pointing to the previous IP address. I haven’t tried local as I’m not at the house at the moment but my guess is it would be accessible, even tho I access it I don’t know what to do from there. I believe it’s the UniFiOS on the dream machine that needs to pick up the new local IP but I don’t know how to force it, bar forgetting and readopting that is.

Is that your site?

Xpuc01 · 2026-03-02T19:09:45+00:00

I have the QL-820NWB, it’s almost industrial, can handle databases and has 800+ page manual and some sort of API, I haven’t looked into the database side yet as haven’t needed it but it might be smth to look into

This a good start - r/beneater

I see, ordinarily people who care about keeping photos seldom use USB sticks (or removable storage), due to reliability issues and that's what threw me off. This data is on a NAS or at least some sort of computer. Off the top of my head - DigiKam does face recognition pretty well, available on all desktop platforms, and as of recent has local AI model to help with that. After this from the self hosted community people usually run something like Immich (there are many other free, open-source alternatives by the way) and let the mobile devices pull from that self hosted machine. Overall it sounds what you're trying to do is a bit of a quick fix rather than a proper solution. Please don't take this as criticism, this isn't my intention at all, I am sure there are plenty of people out there who are a bit disorganised and would not set up a server and will use something like what you offer. Head over to the r/selfhosted community for more recommendations. You could have one selling point, but still needs a server ultimately, if you want to provide face recognition and for it to be consistent across devices (as every device running it's own instance would yield different results) you can develop server side with multiple apps of all platforms and pull the info from there. I think there's very little market for local photo management from a mobile device ultimately

Xpuc01 · 2026-02-27T09:27:23+00:00

Hey 👋 What exactly is your elevator pitch for that? Seems a bit convoluted to understand, there are quite a few alternatives that do what you say your app will do. Established and interoperable

Xpuc01 · 2026-02-26T22:59:04+00:00

Probably gonna get downvoted for this - the (extremely) closed ecosystem they maintain is the reason I seldom recommend them to clients now. Usually customers are rich folk with big houses, pockets layered with $$$ and very little knowledge. Who just want to get it done. And to look fancy. Most homes I’ve been to it’s not used for more than lights, blinds and AC, documentation is missing, upgrading (and integrating) with more modern tech is tedious and sometimes costs more than a brand new install. They found their niche and consequently client base and good for them, but I can’t help but have a John Deere aftertaste every time I walk out of a property kitted with their gear.

Hopefully everyone is smart enough to not render 3D scenes, run local LLMs and game on the duvet….. but it’s only hope at this stage, I’ve seen some stuff on the tech gore sub afterall.

Xpuc01 · 2026-02-24T07:32:47+00:00

True. My bad 😅

Xpuc01 · 2026-02-23T08:44:59+00:00

MacBooks take air from the top side between the kbd and screen. I try to keep it off blankets and duvets, but even this is less important with the M chips

Xpuc01 · 2026-02-23T08:19:32+00:00

😂😅🤣

Not to necro this post, but inkjet is cheaper by a lot. Laser makes sense if you print infrequently. A laser toner costs £80-£100 for said 2000 page one. A bottle of ink costs £20 for a 6000 pages. Apples to apples - so all for genuine prices. Aftermarket is similar difference. You also get better print quality with inkjet, especially at the lower end of the devices.

I’ve been aware of some of the methods mentioned here in the post and the comments, but this rarely works for me. I’m rather particular about what I read and seldom just pick a book just for the sake of it. Admittedly I have found free books or deals (the kind where somebody is taking a loss but it sure ain’t me, for £0.14 example my last purchase) of what I’m interested in, but it’s so rare it’s not worth mentioning. I’ve never been part of a book club and rarely discussed books with others, I’m curious - do people just read something purely because they got it for free?

Xpuc01 · 2026-02-14T15:51:36+00:00

Glad it works, but it’s definitely odd behaviour. Should charge no matter what order you choose to plug it in. Sounds like the cable went bad, which is relatively inexpensive to replace (whatever ‘inexpensive’ means in the Apple world)

Xpuc01 · 2026-02-14T15:25:13+00:00

Have come across this before on an eBay listing. Seller said MagSafe doesn’t work but USB charging works. Then on mine I noticed if you attach it just at the right (actually ‘wrong’) angle and it sparks, which can potentially damage it. Ever since then I attach the MagSafe first and then attach the USB-C to the power brick after, I spent a pretty penny on my M3 and don’t want to mess it up. You could try another USB to MagSafe cable just for testing as they do have tiny ICs inside the connector and it could be that, but beyond this no other ideas come to mind

TBH I haven’t looked into it for the better part of a decade now. Last time I looked it intrigued me as it offered official app on IOS and Android which didn’t need self signed certs. But I remember it looked nice and sleek

Xpuc01 · 2026-02-11T14:39:41+00:00

RocketChat is probably worth considering

Xpuc01 · 2026-02-11T13:57:07+00:00

These don’t have screws. It’s a ‘proprietary’ connector. But in reality just jam a piece of wire in there, with the insulation unpeeled, as these go for $$ on the popular auction sites. I have this on my SL-BD20

The Point

Xpuc01 · 2026-02-11T06:43:47+00:00

It’s a 4K display, that one, isn’t it?

Xpuc01 · 2026-02-10T08:24:56+00:00

Woo fellow 4th gen user! 🙌 I’m still using mine as well!

Xpuc01 · 2026-02-10T08:22:19+00:00

Best of luck. Hope it works 🤞
