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

    There is no reason to get the pro max, networking side is the same and it just adds a mirrored drive for nvr. better off getting an actual nvr unit.

    I had a possum out front a few days ago until a giant vulture was out there having its way with it.

    UDMs are do it all machines, they have specific devices if you need more power.

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

    You have to create a new onvif user or at least I did with a few of my amcrest cameras. The move is to get you into unifi but I think their main goal is to allow the enterprise to more easily move into unifi. I think they will be adding onvif alerting in future updates.

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

    Working fine for me, though with out Onvif alerting from my AI cameras, its rather worthless. I did replace my standalone amcrest nvr with it though. Smart alerting is still handled by Frigate.

    Two caps from last night

    Because we shut down the asylums and now use jails to handle the mentally ill and they are not equipped for that job and end up getting kicked back to the streets in worse shape than when they were picked up.

    3 Wheeled Vehicle

    Because it has 3 wheels so it doesn't have to do any crash testing. These are shitty loophole vehicles. They handle like crap, they aren't fast and if you crash, you will be injured.

    Catalytic Converter #5 today!

    They attempted to snag mine in my work parking lot. Got scared off 95% of the way through, lucky for me as it saved me a few dollars but at the same time, I am almost more pissed. They damaged my car, and my time and they didn't even get anything for it. The best part, the office building has no...

    LPR In The News

    Does your state not do this? Our police force has APLR on I would say 25% of their cars and they are constantly scanning and they get alerts on their laptops if a car is not registered. The DMV also checks yearly when you renew if you have insurance for the car and will deny tags if you are not...

    LPR Through Glass

    The issue is typically IR reflections when shooting through glass, if you turn that off it should be fine, I am considering the same since I didn't get enough zoom out of my turret to catch plates but I do not want a big ass bullet on the front of my house

    Frigate NVR anyone?

    yes, but you are still limited as they have to decode the video. It just process images way better with less processing then BI with Deep stack

    Review-Dahua/EmpireTech new doorbell cam Db6l 5mp

    I use it, I like it a lot. I do not use it as a 24/7 NVR, I leave that to my amcrest nvr. Not because it could not be used as such but harder with how I have it installed. I use it for smart detections inside home assistant. If you want one do-it all app you will not get that with Frigate at...

    Deep Stack Facial Recognition

    I really suggest you try a smart lock before thinking that. I have my doors and garage doors automated. It's upped my security. I never have to wonder if my doors are locked. They shut automatically if left open, they lock after 30 seconds of being closed. I have overrides if I am going in and...

    Deep Stack Facial Recognition

    It's a complete novelty but I have found it to be useful on occasion. I have it trained on family, neighbors, and delivery drivers, this allows me to feed this info into home assistant and have my google hubs announce different things depending on who it is. It's nice to get the announcement of...

    Reolink: Deconstruction of a dangerous misleading youtube review "Finding the BEST 4K Security Camera NVR Package (Reolink vs Amcrest vs Swann)"

    Reolink: Deconstruction of a dangerous misleading youtube review "Finding the BEST 4K Security Camera NVR Package (Reolink vs Amcrest vs Swann)"

    It's not so much about running the cable, that's easy. It's that I don't want multiple cameras stacked on top of each other, the same that I don't want a massive ptz on the eve. I like cameras but I also don't want 500 cameras dotted on my house. I do my best to hide them. That's what is nice...

    Reolink: Deconstruction of a dangerous misleading youtube review "Finding the BEST 4K Security Camera NVR Package (Reolink vs Amcrest vs Swann)"

    I have two 2.8mm cameras on either side of my garage doors. One looks left and the other looks right covering where USP drops stuff against my garage door. I haven't gotten the energy to get in my attic to install a camera up on the eve as an overview looking to the left and I want to do LPR so...

    The boobie camera is very tempting but I don't want domes, I am also debating a PTZ with auto-tracking but finding that is a small enough camera body is a challege.

    G4 Doorbell Pro. Anyone gonna test it?

    I went digging and the amcrest integration used in home assistant amcrest-python does have the ability to send audio files to the doorbell and other amcrest cameras but it hasn't been added into home assistant yet. not as good but something if someone smarter then me could figure that out.

    G4 Doorbell Pro. Anyone gonna test it?

    The home assistant integration is why I am considering one even at the crazy pricing. It exposes a media player that you can use home assistant to send any audio that you want to the device. I posted a video a while back of someone using the g4 doorbell to do this. He had facial rec running so...
