    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.

    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.

    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.

    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...

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    I could have saved money by not buying the flakey Amcrest AD410. It kinda worked most of the time, when it would connect to the wi-fi, but was a pain to keep running consistently, especially with the Amcrest setup app and the monthly fees. Ended up shelving it for the G4.

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    You would need at least a cloud key plus with its built-in NVR ($199) at a minimum. I'm not really sure if that would be all that you would need apart from the Ubiquiti networking landscape. But at least there's no subscriptions needed. CloudKey+ - Ubiquiti Store United States There's a lot of...

    LPR Dashcam

    I'm not in the market for a dashcam, but I saw this video describing a dashcam which is good at capturing plates even at night. Haven't really delved into all the details of the video, though. I have the best dashcam in the world for reading car license plates. And I am the only one...

    Blue Iris App - doesnt work unless on home wifi

    When you are at home and when you are out and about, and when the wifi on your phone is turned off, there is a difference? And are the LAN and WAN addresses the same? This would require the use of a VPN client.

    Consider the ability of a PC to add HDDs for the surveil recordings, such as WD Purples. SSDs aren't up to the task.

    Poor IR contrast in new Tennessee license plates

    Only when a porch pirate hits a legislator's porch and no one could capture the image of the nice vanity plate will this trend change.

    Ubiquiti G4 Doorbell on UDM SE. IP info in BI changes when AP reboots

    Alas, no luck with streaming my new G4 Doorbell Pro to Blue Iris. The BI PC can ping the UDM Pro, but the camera never connects. tinker's two images look identical to me. I am on 5.7.9.12. Any suggestions appreciated.

    Aha. Found it where you pointed it out. So this P2P is the culprit. Thanks, Tony!

    Chatty Cameras

    Looking at the Z12, the Network/UPnP category has the 'enabled' checkbox unchecked, while the UDP listing below is checked. Should that option be unchecked, too? I am unsure where the P2P is located within the camera.

    Chatty Cameras

    I have 8 cameras in use, all contained within a surveil VLAN which has a rule blocking access to the internet. Taking a look at the 'prosumer' Ubiquiti managed network this morning, I see these 3 cameras are particularly chatty. The IP's they are trying to reach are all listed as belonging to...
