    This is becoming a J0KE

    Needs a roof for weather or the daily use aspect goes out the window!

    Three cameras offline after storm

    BTW - I wanted to follow up on this. The camera's were all OK and not damaged except for one where water ingress into the ethernet connector had corroded the pins. I used a punch down wiring tool and an interface adapter for that camera. Seems like most of the issues were related to movement...

    Three cameras offline after storm

    I have a group of three cameras all hooked to a Unifi Switch via POE. I also have a WiFi AP and several other cameras hooked to the same switch and they are still working fine. I checked the connections and according to my Unifi app the cameras are present but they refuse to respond. Any...

    Ubiquiti's New UNVR-Instant-Kit (Comes with UniFi Protect, ViewPoint, 1TB HDD, and 4x G5 Turret Cameras)

    Anyone have any experience if the Instant will support the PTZ from Unifi? I think the only question would be power since its listed as POE+.

    Ubiquiti's New UNVR-Instant-Kit (Comes with UniFi Protect, ViewPoint, 1TB HDD, and 4x G5 Turret Cameras)

    Anyone have any experience with the Instant and the G6 Bullet cameras? I am suggesting this to a friend and needed some real world feedback. The kits cameras are not all that impressive and was thinking of suggesting the G6 Bullets and a PTZ. The PTZ likely will need a power injector to support...

    Natural Gas Generators

    I have an older Cummins 4BT diesel powered 50KW generator on a trailer that can run my entire ranch. Got it from a utility in Ohio and upgraded the entire control system to a modern setup. I was thinking of permanently installing it in a shed and hard wiring it into my rack but I have not done...

    The Typical picture of a Perp on Nextdoor-type Apps with Consumer Grade Cameras like Ring, Nest, Arlo, Canary, Wyze, etc.

    I think they go by Din, Du and Nuffin.

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

    That does look a bit odd but yes it's likely for weather protection. I just keep my spares open in the box and really have not had any issues. If the connectors are good gold plated contacts it should easily handle normal outdoor humidity and temps. I like the rubber plugs but in high humidity I...

    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...
