Having error messages that match the language is actually helpful. A reference and a pointer aren’t exactly the same.
Like if Rust output “invalid word size” on a type mismatch.
2·2 days agoYes vlan is best.
As I already said I have a lot of ubiquity hardware. I have a router, switch, and several wifi APs. I really want to go all Ubiquity for the convenience but their cameras are just bad at the same price as other products.
I’ve actually bought and compared them. I’ve had ip cameras in my home for almost 10 years now. I’ve tried many cameras over the years.
It’s not just my opinion, every review rates Ubiquity’s cameras low. You are paying for convenience of integration if you already have Ubiquity’s products.
Hikvision has a $34 4 mp turret camera that outperforms the $130 2 MP Ubiquity in both dark and brightly lit environments. You can get them with color night vision or IR. Feature wise you can use them stand alone: you connect and control them with a web browser. You don’t need to buy anything else. They have built in motion detection and will save to a microsd card. I use an NVR, but it’s nice to have that feature if you are just getting started.
Same with Dahau. I like Hikvision for its web UI. But as I’ve already said, I don’t trust them and block their Mac/IP at the router. Ideally you want them on their own vlan.
nullpointerexception is more likely the developper’s fault
Of course it was the developer’s fault. But it’s absurd a language without pointers throws an error about pointers.
That’s why I said don’t trust it and block them at your router.
As long as you block them at your router Hikvision and Dahau are much better than the other brands at the same price. I’ve tried 6 different brands. I’ve been slowly moving them to all Hikvision.
Regular IP cameras don’t require a sub and let you store everything locally (even to the point of a micro SD in the camera for backup).
Ubiquity cameras are ridiculously over priced for their quality. They charge $140 for a worse camera (image quality/ features) than a $40 ip camera that supports ONVIF so works with open source Linux NVR software.
Regular IP cameras support ONVIF so they can work with any software.
I have Unifi router, switch and wifi APs.
Anything that supports ONVIF. I like Hikvision for their quality, price, and web interface for setup. But don’t trust any IP camera. Make sure the Mac and or IP address is blocked at your router.
There are different night visions to pick from. There’s ir night vision and white led lit night vision. I prefer ir night vision because I don’t want visible led lights on all night. You get a better picture at night although its black and white.
However many color night vision cameras do really well without any light source at all. I tried both and it’s more of a preference so I can’t say which one will work for you.
Ubiquity is the definition of vendor lock in.

Tell me it was Ari Gold!
1·3 days agoI’ve done it a few times. It’s not the best but vr would be far worse.
Do you think “how do I turn video back on?” would be easier in VR? You have obviously never used VR.
There’s nothing VR would give you that streaming video like FaceTime gives you. A smartphone is better because they can point it at things they couldn’t reach if they had a headset on.
Just video call and have them point with one hand while holding their phone with the other.
I wouldn’t recommend it either but your VR info is out of date. Quest3 can live stream and does inside out tracking so it never “loses” tracking. It can stream a live color view. Even my Quest 2 lets me walk all over the house but only with a grainy black and white feed.

Germany banning Nazi speech after WW2 legitimatized Nazis and gave them a boost in the 1950’s?
Ugh! Now I have the desire to play Super Star Trek. Because the cool kids in the computer club (they had very limited space in the computer room and I didn’t get in) got to play it on the mainframe teletype.
