    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...

    Long outdoors netwok cable run

    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.

    Long outdoors netwok cable run

    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...

    Long outdoors netwok cable run

    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.

    The Plenum cable above is holding up well for me. No signs of degradation. 10G backbone between switch and control has been consistently stable. I have a second FO run for my gate. That line was a buried rated FO line that was run while I was installing a water line onto my property. That...

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

    I think I found the Unify Protect limit for ONVIF streams. The documentation says 8 feeds max. I tried to feed in 7 4K ONVIF streams. One of the cameras was a 180 degree twin lens type stream. That was a bridge too far! The system was constantly needing to be refreshed per camera. I backed it...

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

    Thanks and yes on a phone. My BI also tended to spike. I ended up turning off all camera based alerts and I did enable sub streaming. H264 base encoding. Code project AI is running to capture motion and a LPR dedicated camera as well. Now spikes briefly but nothing like before. Idles at...

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

    Scalable is a good word for the day! I am using BI along with the Ubiquity Dream Machine Pro SE. it’s got 8TB of backup. I don’t recall seeing this mentioned in any of the specs. How many cameras can the Unify system handle if they are generic 2K-4K ONVIF streams? I have roughly 18 cameras in...

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

    I see. Not sure if Unify will do that considering they now sell a dedicated AI box per line. I’ll continue to use Protect as a backup system for now as it does have some nice live view features,

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

    Sorry for posting to an old thread but I recently enabled several ONVIF streams on my Ubiquity DreamMachine SE with a hard drive. The cameras are recording continuous and I can see the feeds no problem. I was trying to get the ONVIF cameras to set triggers. Looks like that is not possible. Has...

    IP4M-1098EW-AI PTZ shows Limited Resources - Failed to Play Video

    Resolved. I had local camera alerts writing to camera memory. Since I’m using Blue Iris and AI to now analyze the feed I turned off all the local writing to memory. I did a factory reset then turned off all the local writes. Seems to have fixed it as I can once again use the PTZ functions...

    IP4M-1098EW-AI PTZ shows Limited Resources - Failed to Play Video

    I installed this PTZ a month or so back and initially the PTZ function would work fine. I do not have it on a preset pattern or anything and manually move it with Blue Iris controls. Lately the video fee is fine in Blue Iris but if I attempt to control the camera with the PTZ function in Blue...

    Long outdoors netwok cable run

    Yes the gate hub goes out at the gate. If you have fiber with an Ethernet adapter your set out there. The hub buys you 3 spare POE ports. I already had an 8 port switch with SFP up at my gate already. The hub gives a few extra ports which isn’t a bad thing. Unify hub has an open/close input. See...

    Long outdoors netwok cable run

    Funny I had purchased the GBF gate controller as well. I tried enabling it in Blue Iris and found the default ONVIF password was not a field they allowed to be edited. Sorry but that was a dealbreaker for me. Having Chinese server support was very iffy as well. Combined I removed that device...

    Long outdoors netwok cable run

    Any update on this? I just enabled my gate controller this weekend and so glad that I have fiber up there. 1Gb connection to the gate is overkill but still nice as I have four cameras, WiFi hot spot and gate controller up there.

    Long outdoors netwok cable run

    I used a wire stripping tool I had already to score outer sheath and to dress each fiber down to the outer 125u sheath. It is for fine wires in electronics and it worked great. https://a.co/d/9A12ia9 I used the tools from my previous post to strip and clean the fibers then cleaved the bare...

    Half hitch works well for larger wires. I just doubled the pull string back and taped over it. I used about a 1/2 roll of 3M electrical tape to ensure it was well bonded to the pull string. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Long outdoors netwok cable run

    The boxes may need to be removed to facilitate pulling/pushing cable. I used a similar pull string and didn’t require a separate pull rope. A more sturdy pull material would help. I pulled about 40-50 lbs worth and at times I was worried it may fail. Believe the rating on the poly string is a...

    Long outdoors netwok cable run

    Yes I’m ok with that since I used a PVC conduit for the fiber to run inside. I would use direct bury if not using a conduit. Armored would provide more protection but does require careful consideration of the ground. I’ve actually used both ground rated as well as the riser rated. I liked...

    Long outdoors netwok cable run

    Single mode is great for long runs or if you can afford it. As others have offered it’s often the preferred mode since it can work in short or long runs. Less cable to stock. For this situation multi mode OM3 is plenty capable. I got 10G to my main controller using a couple SFP+ ports. My main...

    If your going to use a conduit then this works well. https://www.ebay.com/itm/134658102836?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=EFnLfJ_ZQyq&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=EToFtWz7R6C&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY I used a partial spool like this along with the LC type snap on connectors. Ran...

    IP4M-1098EW-AI Blue Iris Setup

    Doohhhh! I didn't see the configuration for the ONVIF user. I assumed it was the same user and login. Added an ONVIF user and now it's working. Thank you!

    I have the camera talking on a VLAN and can see and control it via the Web interface. However I have PTZ enabled in Blue Iris yet I can not control the camera. The configuration is enabled for ONVIF. While setting up the BI Camera I entered in the IP and let the tool attempt to configure the...
