Now that I think about it, it could easily do that via it’s external relay control.

Or at least a listing of an available recording was shown, along with a little thumbnail image long past the point where the actual recording on disk was gone. I never saw one go away without me deleting it. 3) No good way to skim or search lots of video. You had to click on each recording and watch it.....if someone told you that the event you're looking for was "sometime on tuesday" that meant a lot of tedium. 4) No bulk export: You could export individual recordings, but if you wanted "all the video from Tuesday afternoon" it was not happening without exporting individual clips over and over again. 5) No export to locally attached storage. Couldn't burn to DVD, couldn't copy to USB disk. 6) Oh yeah....no full quality uncompressed export. 7) Video not actually stored as video....stored as still images with a database that kept a record of which images belonged to what video. Which meant no (good) workaround to any of the export problems. The web interface was so amazing and beautiful that it distracted from the fact that some of the basic functions of a DVR were missing. Since it was free I might have used it for something less critical, like monitoring my own house, but it was not good for actual security. Glad to hear the new version is better, maybe someday I'll try it. Hard to believe that someone didn't like a Ubiquiti web system. That's what they do probably better than anyone else.... unless he meant the backend of AV1... which was terrible. Rewritten in AV2 and then rewritten again in AV3. Not really hearing any complaints about the new interface or new cameras. Well, nothing major. Losing RSTP? I couldn't care less. They actually added it back in, but it's sourced from the server vs. the camera. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ________________________________ From: "josh--- via Af" <af@afmug.com<mailto:af@afmug.com>> To: af@afmug.com<mailto:af@afmug.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 5, 2014 12:46:09 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] IP Camera Recommendations We're on "av3", aka unifi-video now On November 5, 2014 9:38:16 AM AKST, Adam Moffett via Af <af@afmug.com<mailto:af@afmug.com>> wrote: UBNT took away RTSP in recent firmware....so I'm not sure if you can actually use them with anything other than Air Vision anymore. I haven't tried AirVision2. I also was not fond of AirVision, it sucked. I know this has been hashed and re-hashed, but I'm wondering what others are having luck with as far as IP cameras go. I'm needing something with night vision and decent resolution, under $200. Are the new Ubiquiti cameras worth looking at? I wasn't terribly fond of AirVision last time I used it, is BlueIris any better for use with these? Other recommendations? Thanks. -Jason -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
