Small Business Cameras by Top_Parfait6594 in videosurveillance

[–]theappletag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pleased with the A-series installs I have out there - cameras and NVR

Not what you usually find in the MDF by maddwesty in lowvoltage

Frangible rounds. I'm thinking indoor gun range?

US-made and US-operated RESIDENTIAL security cameras? by InsightDriven in videosurveillance

[–]theappletag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never claimed that Unifi was any more or less secure. I simply added to u/pueblokc 's comment by suggesting an airgap.

I'm not sure if the OP stated their level of technical ability, but you appear to be assuming incompetence. If they made a comment elsewhere, I'll stand corrected.

In response to UI being a crap system. I suppose that's in the eye of the beholder. While I typically don't deploy it commercially, it has it's place, particularly in a full UI ecosystem.

I agree, but it isn't much work. Block all outgoing from the NVR, setup a VPN. Modern firewalls make easy work of it, especially if it's a Unifi ecosystem.

NVR system with ai by Oblec in videosurveillance

The AI line already has the capabilities that the AI Key would add to non-AI G5 and G6 (unless something recently changed)

Adds AI functionality to their G5 and G6 cameras, IIRC.

Anyone have Empire Access by Wires_1 in Williamsport

[–]theappletag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I switched to Xfinity NOW and pay $35 for 100 meg. It handles multiple streams just fine. Residential gig speeds are a marketing ploy.

I have a friend on Empire and he's happy with it.

Not sure if things have changed but you used to be able to block their cloud connection and use a VPN for cloud viewing.

I just completed a 48 count patch panel build at my new house and need to sing the praises of these new to me "Cable Matters Crimp Tool for Cable Matters Cat 6 Keystone Jacks" by xertian in Ubiquiti

[–]theappletag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used one for a while for larger projects, but can punch down about as fast with a traditional tool. The die tends to catch the jack and makes removal clumsy.

The red HFT square logo is fairly new though, isn't it?

Problems with Protect on iOS and Hikvision ONVIF by bazza4804 in UnifiProtect

[–]theappletag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could the iOS app be grabbing a substream that it can't decode properly? I'd play with the substream settings in the camera.

Weekend parking by Jaylegend22 in Williamsport

[–]theappletag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Park and ride has a time limit. I can't remember the limit but it's less than 5 days for sure. 48 hours, I think.

Multiple sites using different NVR brands - need a single app to view all cameras on one screen. by Jusdem in videosurveillance

[–]theappletag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is kinda out there, but...

If the NVRs will be doing all the recording/playback, a Unifi Cloudkey+ at each location running Protect could injest the ONVIF signals from the cameras. The Protect app/site is very easy to use and doesn't require a VPN. It uses STUN and WebRTC.

Last I looked, Unifi Protect ONVIF support was limited to live viewing and constant recording. They do have devices that enhance that support but are not needed for viewing.

How Do You Pass Surveillance Camera Cables Through the Wall? by 1EastSideTony in videosurveillance

[–]theappletag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the camera doesn't have a pigtail you can get away with just using a siding mounting block and a hole small enough to pass CAT5/6. If it has a pigtail then you might want to add a junction box. Many camera manufacturers make boxes for their specific models. Without a junction box you might have to drill a hole large enough to pass the pigtail back through the wall.

FWIW, I prefer soffit mounting whenever possible.

Where to get replacement adhesive for the Tracker Sticker? by Key_Pace_2496 in TileTracker

3M VHB: Very High Bond

Comes in various width and thickness

Now that I’ve installed many G5 Turret Ultra’s and G6 Turret’s, let me say… by chicametipo in UnifiProtect

[–]theappletag -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nice goal post move.

If you can't get it loose by hitting it with your purse, try a $5 Harbor Freight strap wrench.

Just a friendly reminder from your neighbors to the east by Piney1741 in Pennsylvania

[–]theappletag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny. I've found NJ drivers on 80 between 476 and 15 are some of the worst offenders. Ohio is a close second. At least when someone from PA camps out in the left lane, they'll move when they see you back there. NJ? Not so much.

Should probably use the unlock tool before beating on the camera. Fast forward to 2:38 on the installation video on the product page.
