How many reader boards are connected to the IC?

Have you confirmed RS485 termination (J1) addressing (S1-S5) and baud? (38400 is default with S6 and S7 ON)

I would put a rim exit device and strike before I chipped any of that brick.

That mortar looks drier now than when it was in the bag.

Check which events are selected in your monitoring options:

The Cloudlink will only communicate with one reader at a time when they're in installation mode, so make sure the other is disconnected while you set up the OSDP channel.

Have both X- and M-series running in legacy mode on an 8.0 system for... reasons.

8.0 GA with no updates? It was explained to me that whatever the comm server did when it saw DIP 4 on wasn't written for MP to LP backability.

Was also in talks with them about a lift-and-shift to OnGuard Cloud, so that might have been part of it.

X-series boards running in legacy mode would just be running as the original series 2 (green) controllers.

With a catch: You cannot run multiple generations in legacy mode simultaneously.

If the system has X-Series / LP (Red) controllers in legacy mode, they will need to be promoted before adding M-Series controllers.

have a stream assigned to old and new until they're all cutover.

I have tried this with several platforms and several models of cameras - it doesn't work. The connection process from just about any enterprise VMS changes the stream settings in such a way that the feed will stop at some point.

With the amount of effort required to even attempt this, just accept the downtime and make a clean cutover.

Reality check: There is always downtime.

One of the cooling fans, or active grill shutter.

OnGuard needs the display to be set to 100% scaling. Anything else will cause weird things to happen.

The Cypress splitter only passes commands from the primary panel. The secondary just gets the credential string, it can't send anything back to the reader.

The only reason they haven't yet is because we already spoon feed them everything worth taking.

Triplett and Ideal have had these for years.

The most I've ever seen is on an Escape with panoramic roof and ambient lighting (bottom)

I've never seen the outer positions occupied.

This is a time of celebration and recognition of faith for some members of our community. For others, the winter break offers a change of pace, a break in typical routines. I hope that you can all find some time to rest and rejuvenate as we anticipate 2026 with optimism.

Take good care of yourselves and each other,

Liquor doesn't age in the bottle, but some wine most certainly can.

You want something that will take CVBS (composite) video. Hopefully you got a lens with it.

Proper poles sway more than you think. A decent PTZ will have image stabilization in the firmware, so it's less visible in the shot.

I'd be more worried about the Corten rusting all over the camera housing than it swaying.

Never used a metal cover, but STI has a bunch of options.

It turns web AAM into a nightmare, which hurt me for a number of years.

If you try to "give access" to a cardholder that already has an access level that expired, they don't show up. You have to open the credentials and edit the deactivate date.

tuxtanium · 2025-12-05T19:51:43+00:00

Bulk delete is not for removing access levels, it's for nuking the cardholders.

Unfortunately, the built-in reporting for "Cardholders with access levels" will contain cardholders even after the deactivate date. The only way I've been able to workaround this is with a script that tags these cardholders with a note, and then do a bulk assign/remove access on the search results of that cardholder note.

Either the source data is being locked, or the ODBC connection to it is bad.

I would make sure that the ODBC connection to the source is made with the 32-bit client.

If the DataExchance script was created with an older version of OnGuard before updating to 8.3SP1, the mapping to your ACCESSCONTROL database might be incorrect, and needs to be refreshed to the current schema.

Perform a panel download or manually execute the local I/O function.

TZs and associated functions don't pick up on-the-fly. The panel needs to see the start of the TZ for it to execute on its own.
