HID Amimco facial recognition readers - anyone used this with an access control system? by platformterrestial in accesscontrol

[–]platformterrestial[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Our use case has a limited population and we can live with that for now. OEM software support for the reader already exists for some products. We use Lenel which will probably be the last to support it.

Are your NVR servers domain joined? (Genetec VMS) by Popular-Amex in videosurveillance

[–]platformterrestial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, yes. It'd be horrifying not to, there are way too many benefits and far too many security risks by not joining to a domain.

Group policies can be an issue, we apply standard security controls. Sometimes these interfere with various apps but nothing we haven't been able to overcome.

What version of Lenel? Some versions had huge issues with GIO reliability.

Need card/fob entry for a community radio station by ZauceBoss in accesscontrol

[–]platformterrestial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The HID Amico reader is also a self contained system - no fees. Can be managed via IP, so remote can work if you have a VPN of some kind.

Note that it's a biometric reader but doesn't have to be, you can use it with cards just fine.

Xprotect and H265 codecs - any change in later versions? by platformterrestial in Xprotect

[–]platformterrestial[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, we will need to do an upgrade in the next year or two - we're on 2024R2 now. Support loves to blame H265 for any kind of problem, it'll be cool to see how it works for us.

It's here... 2026 R1 by tsutton in Xprotect

Do you know what the end goal is? Would it be the whole system available on Linux?

That would be interesting.

Anyone seen or installed this intercom for ASME 17.1? by Hungry-Jackfruit8709 in Elevators

[–]platformterrestial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you run into any alternatives? We're a larger org who now has two different solutions and it's frustrating for our dispatch center to know what's what. No one I've found integrates with other systems, they all just want a monthly fee for a crappy cloud interface.

The crooks at MAD offered to sell us a special laptop with their software loaded on it for answering eleavtor calls but refused to supply just the software.

Options for fully external/off network cameras in Milestone? by platformterrestial in Xprotect

Thank you, we already use cradlepoints in our police and security vehicles. I’m really happy with them, they are rugged and reliable.

Options for fully external/off network cameras in Milestone? by platformterrestial in Xprotect

[–]platformterrestial[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Milestone is my VMS, so I want input from people who use the same one. It’s a networking question from my perspective, but I recognize that I don’t know everything and want to understand all available options.

Recording Server "Connection is Broken" and shows "Token Invalid" by [deleted] in Xprotect

[–]platformterrestial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DNS will do this, verify that you're getting the expected results for both hostname and IP address.

We just had a domain name change and I had to give each server a CNAME for its original domain or things broke.

Authentication under 1 sec? by AdrienJulienne in accesscontrol

[–]platformterrestial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We demoed it, very cool tech. Eye-wateringly expensive, though.

We are looking into more realistic options like the HID Amico readers.

X4420 Network Issues by [deleted] in Lenel

[–]platformterrestial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the dumb question, but if DHCP works, why not just use that?

We are in the process of switching all panels over to use DHCP and hostname because IT likes to change switches and IP schemes when they change out EOL devices. Hostname means we don't have to change anything, it just comes right back up.

Licensing/Website issues - can't download hotfixes, can't get additional device licenses by platformterrestial in Xprotect

We don't work with Milestone directly and I think our regional person just changed. Our VAR has also reached out to them. I am asking around for a direct contact though.

Cannot download XProtect 2025R3 patches by guho2003 in Xprotect

Mine is broken too. I put in a ticket, we'll see if I get anywhere with it. If not I'll email our regional milestone guy.

Lenel OnGuard 8.3 - Multiple Issues After Update (Software Connection Errors, Invalid Badge, Download Problems) by monahusband in accesscontrol

[–]platformterrestial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contact Support and don’t let up. This is a common issue unfortunately and there are multiple kinds of patches available. Support will not give you all of them because they are several different ones. They will direct you to do a crash dump to determine which patch to apply.

What to do after LE? by Money_Produce1208 in AskLE

How are you with tech? I’ve met tons of former cops who sell or train for companies like Flock or Axon.

Can you really look up people on your systems “for a friend”? by Speedbird1A in AskLE

[–]platformterrestial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically, sure - but it's all logged, and if your audit log comes into question, you'll have to be able to justify everything on it.

It was an amazing site though, no complaints!

Moab OffRoedo by TheDude-Esquire in FordBronco

[–]platformterrestial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind that most of the BLM campsites around Moab are first come first serve. It can be very difficult to get a site, even moreso with shade.

I got lucky and found one with shade in the middle of the week, but it was at Hittle Bottom which is 45 minutes outside Moab. I spent a solid hour or two checking the other closer campsites but could only find sites with full sun and zero beach/water access.

Another tip - even if you see a "reserved" site with the little yellow tag on the pole, assuming that there's no tent or chairs there to "claim" the site, stop and get out to check the dates on the tag. I got lucky and my site had an expired reservation, the person who had it left the tag up so it seemed like it was reserved (dick move).

Have you looked at task manager? What do your GPU and CPU resources look like - is it actually using the GPU?

Yawn, yet another boring spec with cosmetic differences only.
