    Moving to a new PC , my need some help.

    SO you didn't go with the BeeLink Mini Me? Beelink | Beelink ME mini 6-slot Home Storage NAS Mini PC I am looking at the Mini Me as it's only $200 presently and can be outfitted with 24TB of storage. Only concern I have is if it has enough horsepower to handle 20 camera feeds with BI.

    What PTZ to buy for a 22 acre property?

    If you don't mind the price tag that looks like a great camera. As long as the tracking feature can be picked up on the 180 degree view and then transfer to the PTZ for zooming in and tracking automatically that would fit my requirements. I have a couple 180 degree cams on my ranch and they work...

    What PTZ to buy for a 22 acre property?

    For what it's worth I would get an IP4M-1083EW-AI-V2 32X Optical Zoom and will likely pick up about anything on your property if setup properly. I prefer to not have my PTZ's constantly scanning in favor of a few fixed cameras. I mainly use the PTZ to zoom in on a topic of interest when needed...

    Long outdoors netwok cable run

    They have new G6 camera's that were recently announced at less than $200. I may consider one for the LPR open feature but even at $200 that is an expensive toy. I have standard IP Cams looking in the same direction so ideally would like to see Unifi allow third party cams trigger motion events...

    Long outdoors network cable run – Part 2 ... Fiber Optic run working

    Terminating fiber is not all that difficult with the ends they have now. I had to purchase the fiber connectors and it came with a stripping and cleaving tool. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09CYQCGD9?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1 I purchased a fiber tester as well. This is...

    BTW UniFi offers a LPR camera option to allow the gate to open automatically. I thought about it but at $500+ I’m having a difficult time justifying the cool factor. Of course I don’t think they offer that in ONVIF cameras. AI detection is only available on the UniFi Cams.

    I rely upon the timer to close my gate. The lift master has a rotary knob inside to dial up delay. I’d suggest you change the delay back to something normal. If you need access to get the mail, take out trash, etc… I use my phone or a remote in the vehicle. BTW if I need to keep gate open I...

    Long outdoors network cable run – Part 2 ... Fiber Optic run working

    I just winged it with plenty of lube, a pusher and a puller. Wasn’t that bad. My fiber was the riser type so it had lots of rated pulling force. The only downside I had was the outer sheathing stretched yet the inner fibers did not. I just cut back several feet and all was good. That first light...

    Long outdoors netwok cable run

    Exactly. I thought I would have more folks hitting the button to bother me but honestly the only callers are folks I know are coming or the occasional Amazon delivery. I setup Amazon on their own ID so they don't drop packages at the gate. So far it has been great as they let themselves in and...

    Continuous Recording to One Drive or Split?

    Just upgraded an old drive I had been using for BI. The old drive was an antique 3TB unit from 2011! Just upgraded to a 18TB WD Purple drive. Copying the old files over now. Agree that any drive can fail. Just use one that is independent of your OS or the BI install drive. The new drive is...

    I see you have the fiber run completed. Congrats now. My Unifi Gate controller has been great. My gate is operating well off of it. The intercom on the other hand is presently down after a driver ran off the road and hit the mounting post as well as my fence. The intercom post was mounted 4.5'...

    Congrats on the completion of this. Your description is very good and hopefully will encourage a few others if they have to make a long run.
