    Email Server Stopped Working

    I am unable to figure out why the email alerts stopped working recently. The web hosting service which I have always been using for SMTP claims there is nothing wrong on their end. Whenever the camera's alert gets triggered from HomeSeer, the log shows 'Error with connecting server . . .' just...

    Unifi AI Port- Works great!

    That was a surprise to me when I got the AI Port, that it need not even be connected to a camera, it just needed to be on the network. I have 4 ONVIF cameras as well as the G4 on the Protect. The use of plate collection, though, is weak even during the day. My Z12 is also on Blue Iris, and I...

    Unifi AI Port- Works great!

    I have this same albeit older camera (IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E) streamed to Blue Iris and now also to Protest, and the AI Port is using it to tag plates and people.

    Unifi AI Port- Works great!

    Thanks. I had to log in with the admin pass in order to enable that LPR option.

    Suggestions for indoor wifi cameras with Blue Iris for occasional use when traveling

    I also have this 2MP Amcrest IP2M-841B-V3 in the garage, and it is working very well. Mine is mounted high up, facing the large garage door. My only wish is that it had the ability to tilt lower. I guess I could re-mount it on an angle for fuller viewing at the floor, as the ceiling view isn't...

    Unifi AI Port- Works great!

    I acquired the AI Port today, and when I pair with the Z12, there is no LPR option in AI, just animal, person and vehicle. How do I get the LPR OCR to become an available option? The camera is acquired okay within Protect, and I get motion alerts and vehicle alerts, but no LPR option.

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    For rogue applications, I will usually create a folder on C: named '\files\"

    Unifi AI Port- Works great!

    Can the AI Port allow for the license plate and date/time data be exported somehow, as in an HTML listing or a download of some kind? Or do the plates only appear superimposed on the images?

    Unifi AI Port- Works great!

    I just adopted a Dahua camera in Protect, wondering if it will have the same AI features for LPR as UniFi AI Port. All I see from the G4 doorbell are the categories of person, package, ring, and animal. Guessing that these AI features for LPR are found only in the additional UniFi hardware.

    Onvif camera added to Unifi Protect

    Intrigued by the idea of adding my Dahua cameras to UniFi Protect. When I enabled the 'Discover Third-Party Cameras' setting, the Device Page shows none. I have VLANs and rules set up to block the cameras (on 192.168.50.x) from reaching 192.168.1.1, which is the UDM Pro gateway for the main LAN...

    Unifi Teleport

    Curious if you've tried the WireGuard VPN in UniFi? I only use that access path now rather than Teleport.

    Ir illuminator

    The Tendelux looks amazing. I had a similar unit, but did not feel good from irradiating the whole neighborhood to collect plates, and ended up using a narrow beam IR to focus on the small area of interest.

    Digital License Plates

    Maybe in the future, LPR cameras will be replaced with LPR radio receivers. ;-)

    OpenALPR Tool - Save and Query CSV Exports

    Yes, it looks like Rekor is no longer having downloads of CSV files. If you log into your dashboard, and click on the "View Details" link on the 'Plates this week' category, and at the bottom-left of the page there's a link for downloading CSV files. When you click on it, there's only JSON code...

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    You are undoubtedly correct. The UniFi cameras (certainly the early ones) are priced too high for the quality they offer, although the G4 Pro is very good for what it does and is trouble-free. The only drawback is that Ubiquiti cameras cannot connect to both the Protect NVR and the Blue Iris at...
