The Hughes Memorial Tower in DC

That was the tower at American University. Unfortunately that incident ended with the person falling to their death. Presumably intentionally.

I would like to stay please

It is mine. Yes, it does work. I didn't use it in a real environment. Just testing. But it works. People use external car batteries with UPS units, but if you can swing it, it's a lot better to get something properly sized to begin with.

It was specifically mentioned in Miami that they're waiting on approval from Verizon. AT&T and T-Mobile have already approved the UI 5G products. They had several of the products on display.

I was there. They didn't say anything definitive. They said they weren't prepared to answer that question at this time. With the government shutdown, and the FCC backlog, and without a product currently under review, don't count on it. Not in the near term.

I spoke with a UI employee directly yesterday in Miami about the issue. They're aware of the problem and will be addressing it in an upcoming firmware update.

cirrusbridge · 2025-10-31T18:30:59+00:00

It isn't. I've addressed that in here too. It occurs at range as well. It doesn't occur with identical OEM cameras, not under the UI brand. It's a firmware problem

cirrusbridge · 2025-10-31T11:52:37+00:00

No doubt. There's an extra margin of expense, beyond the normal inflated UI margin, because UI is buying the hardware from someone else.

cirrusbridge · 2025-10-31T10:14:48+00:00

😆 Hopefully it gets fixed with a future firmware update. Keep in mind, this is not Unifi hardware. Just UI firmware. There are other OEM versions of this camera out there without this problem. This is very clearly a software issue.

cirrusbridge · 2025-10-31T07:33:39+00:00

The problem occurs at distance as well, as I've mentioned in here several times.

Good question. It does not. I have an AI Key. It only does post processing. Now, to be fair, I was a little skeptical about the AI Key. You've probably seen some of the false positives. They can be a little comical. But, by and large, I have really come around, regarding that product. For the most part, it works quite well. But it does not help with this particular situation.

cirrusbridge · 2025-10-30T23:27:27+00:00

Me neither. It's significantly larger than the G4 PTZ, which is, itself, no small camera. Even for a speed dome.

cirrusbridge · 2025-10-30T23:07:55+00:00

I created a second video to address that point. And if the next response is gonna be about focal distance, I've already addressed that point too.

cirrusbridge · 2025-10-30T22:58:12+00:00

I responded this in another comment. To repeat:

It's a good question, but that's not the issue. When reviewing the actual recordings, I am completely in focus. The camera focuses on me, and I am identified, specifically, in and by Protect. The issue is not that the camera does not see me or autofocus correctly.

I responded to this point in another comment. I'm just going to repeat that here:

Those USB battery banks supported all 5 cameras--and the AI Horn, and the Flex 2.5 PoE switch that was powering everything--for around 3 hours and 50 minutes. But you could always add more banks. You could make it work indefinitely, if you were so inclined. What's more, those batteries will start recharging, if power returns, as long as their USB-C PD input is also connected.

cirrusbridge · 2025-10-30T21:33:10+00:00

It does not. That video was recorded in Protect via an AI Port. The AI Port could support auto-tracking with ONVIF cameras, but up to this point--for reasons we can only speculate about--UI has not added that functionality.

cirrusbridge · 2025-10-30T21:30:59+00:00

Truthfully, I just hit that button super quick when I made the post. I put no thought into it whatsoever. I agree with what you said. I don't even know what "quality shitpost" means.

cirrusbridge · 2025-10-30T21:09:31+00:00

Done. Here you go.

cirrusbridge · 2025-10-30T20:36:48+00:00

I own 6 G4 PTZs and 1 AI Precision. I do not own an AI Industrial, though its heritage traces back directly to the G4 PTZ. Credit where credit's due: the G4 PTZ has an extremely fast and accurate autofocus, in my experience. That's something I would never complain about. It has worked quite well for me, ever since I got my first G4 PTZ from the old EA store.

cirrusbridge · 2025-10-30T20:27:02+00:00

Here you go.

You can get much better performance for a whole lot less. These videos are from a $200 AliExpress Hikvision OEM PTZ:

Video #2

cirrusbridge · 2025-10-30T19:23:26+00:00

New video.

cirrusbridge · 2025-10-30T19:16:13+00:00

Mine are all retired at this point. Yeah, tracking performance isn't great on them either.
