Honestly, I love their gear. IMO, Ubiquiti makes the best P2P's, AP's, firewalls, switches, etc. Their cameras are decent enough, but are a bit too overpriced and underwhelming for me to consider on a professional level. As far as residential, there are def less expensive and "better" cameras...
I have one and tbh I thought it would suck, but it's amazing. It's ridiculously light, almost feels like it's not real. It's accurate and I have put some cheap ammo through it with 0 hiccups so far. I recommend it.
These cameras are awesome. You know you can get them / everything else cheaper from here - 4MP Extreme Low Light IP w/ LED | IP Cam Talk Store
Blue Iris crushes Synology. I have used Synology and it's okay, but not nearly as good as BI. What is wrong with your BI? Want me to remote into your...
I updated the first post a bit to reflect some newer hardware, etc. Right now I am recommending to everyone who wants to build a good system, to use this "Build a System" link. 4MP cameras (your choice of dome, turret or bullet), either an NVR or Blue Iris, wiring, etc.
I am using this solar trickle charger - https://amzn.to/3f3iN8Y

@cgrutt is one talented dude!! I've also never seen anyone work as clean, zero mess every day.
Also was nice to see @kev74 and @alistair, thanks to both of you for stopping by!
I would go with Hikvision's bell - Wi-Fi Video Doorbell Camera W/ 2 Way Audio, ONVIF Compliant, PIR Motion Sensor, Night Vision, 16GB SD Card Pre-Installed, Includes 3 Face Plates | IP Cam Talk
It also has an rtsp feed that you can record on Blue Iris.
Asketh and you shall receveith. Because of the generosity of many here on the forum with their donations, we can purchase add-ons that will improve the experience here on NYGF. I'm glad to do it, especially for something that should be built into the core!
There's now an "Attachments" link when...

I'm happy to announce that @cgrutt is an official NYGF Sponsor / Vendor! Chris is an extremely talented carpenter that can build just about anything, including my new shed that he is starting next week! Not only has he helped several members here, but he has also helped keep NYGF alive with...
No problem. It's a very fun little project for anyone who likes to tinker and likes tech / gaming.
I know there is a newer version of Raspberry PI out now, but this is everything I used that works great.
Raspberry Pi 3 B+ kit
Nintendo style box for RPI
64 GB MicroSD Card
2 X-Box style...
Thanks guys!
This is amazing. Can you share some technical info? What platform is that? I need to know details, lol.
I also built myself (and a few friends) identical systems, but on a much smaller scale. Everything fits into this box and can be hooked up to any TV via hdmi. If people are...
YouTube! That's how I learned when I built my first one. If you like to tinker then I recommend it, but if you will throw the box of parts after 5 minutes of dropping springs and stuff, then order one.
We (everyone here) bailed out the auto industry. Why shouldn't GM be retrofitted and start manufacturing ventilators right now? Why shouldn't we make them do this, or start making masks? Or do we want to continue to just bail out industries and have them do nothing in return except get richer on...
