    Looking for which cameras to pair with my Unifi home system. Go Unifi or 3rd Party + BI?

    I would suggest buying a cheap unifi cloud gateway Max then testing it with a single unifi camera to see if it has the features you need.... There are many things you can do with Blue Iris that you cannot do with protect on the other hand if you're not using any of those features in Blue Iris...

    Is this okay for Blue Iris.

    An I-5 8500 will be more than sufficient... But if you have the extra money look at something even newer because you're going to put time and effort into setting the system up and you don't want to be starting with a eight or even 7-year-old system today...

    Who cares what they say. There is no other way they are doing it. You are getting scammed.

    The system does not meet Microsoft requirements for w11. You can do a simply google search and see that. For intel processors it MUST be 8th gen or above. There are workaround that the seller might by using but MS could plug those holes and you will be screwed when you need to reinstall. You...

    This will not run w11...-you need 8th gen ..8th gen is also much more powerful than 7th.

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    I was able to easily add my gateway to early access.

    Looks like 5.0 is in "Early access" and not yet available for regular folks to download.

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    Just got my cloud gateway max today....I understand onvif is not fully baked and there are issues with triggers on motion etc so its a bit early on that end but im curious to see the other features and functions of protect. I dont think they could pull onvif support after advertising this way....

    WD Purple as Windows system drive?

    Your experience without an ssd will be bad. You want a pc that allows at least one ssd and one hdd. The ssd is particularly important for the database file.

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    He is likely referring to this. Ubiquiti Kills Any Hope Of Open Platform Video - IPVM Discussions Which is actually worse because they sold the cameras with rtsp support and just removed it. They can easily do it here as it is beta. They make a good product that is not obscenely overpriced so...
