My company is looking at adding cameras above existing badge readers on exterior doors to be able to capture faces during badge events. A Google search session didn't really find much so I'm curious if anyone has installed something similar. Needs to be weatherproof, PoE, and a decent...

If you are having issues getting it to be straight with the angles on the siding, you may find you some hard foam and try to cut it to match the contours of the siding and place it between the mount and the siding. Just a thought.

This did the trick. It's working as expected now.

Not at all! Just providing some context as to my background so we can understand each other better. I love the Unifi products. Got most of them on eBay but they are pricier than your average consumer network gear. You were right to spell things out for those that may read this and not...

Yeah I'm saying VLAN which equals L3 subnet which is an isolated by firewall rules on my Unifi network. All my VLAN gateways sit on my Unifi USG which I can then control whether to isolate VLAN traffic from other VLANs or not. I should have been more specific and clear before. Not used to other...

Actually a thought just hit me. It has to be a flag or something on the stream itself. Because the camera is never configured to interact with the NAS/NVR. The camera is just there doing it's thing for any device that connects to it for a "pull" of data....

From a network directionality perspective, the NAS is actually making the connection to the camera for the stream not the other way around. This is why my streaming works even though my camera IP is blocked from talking to my NAS. My NAS can establish a connection to the camera all day in that...

Still having some issues with motion detection and alerting with SSS. It got me thinking. Does the camera initiate the conversation with SSS for a motion event? If so, that means I'll need to have a port open from my camera VLAN to my Synology IP. Anyone know what that is to save me from having...

So is the best way to configure "camera-based" motion detection with batch config? Only reason I ask is because I've tried to create a custom motion zone in batch config but when I click save it gets rid of what I created and boxes fill the full frame so I'm not sure it actually saves. Before...

I completely agree. I've never seen a thread this involved haha, but it's been extremely helpful!

Correct on the batch config video type. Glad this helps. I did notice later that the EZVIZ app that audio was turned off so I flipped it on. I'm wondering if that toggle in the EZVIZ app sets that video type attribute that I changed in Batch Config. I finally fixed my audio issue in the...

So it didn't work in Firefox so I started looking at the Batch Config image settings and realized that Video Type was set to Video only. I changed it to Video & Audio (since I want audio and no audio was appearing in the recorded clips which I missed last night) and now the live view is working...

I don’t have Firefox on my main computer but I can give it a go. I rarely use a browser so I’m not exactly concerned about the browser but it’s annoying that DS Cam on the iPhone does the same thing.

Ok so I followed the steps and had slightly different results. After I uploaded the new firmware and rebooted, it came back and reconnected to my original SSID. So I didn't have to connect to the cam's SSID initially to do the reset. I did choose the "part restore" but it blanked the network...

I don’t mind trying this. It will probably be sometime this weekend before I have time. Do you think this resets everything except network settings in general? So in theory this would eliminate the need for the manual SSID changes? Or would you still have to reset the SSID to the new firmware...
