Thats exactly how it works. There are literally settings on camera UIs not included in the more general NVR config options. I don’t care what you do or know. It’s also specially talked about in many brands knowledge base. Otherwise you risk mismatched settings.

Pretty sure DNS rebinding is a way for hackers to hack your PC. Why do you need this protection removed??

a KC works.

This is the current C4 fan switch in my master bedroom (AC fan) I didn't want to confuse the pictures, thus the 2nd follow-up post. You're saying I could reprogram this switch when I have the DC fan installed and add scene keys such as Music (on/off), TV (on/off). Just not the volume rockers, which I'm OK with as there is a touch panel nearby and remote.

Would a C4-KC120277 work? Sorry as I'm not an electrician by trade trying to understand KC, KD (which is a dimmable programable switch and not appropriate for a fan) and KA . Trying to understand the types of C4 light switches that were installed, as I update from AC to DC fans. Yes, I would like to change the layout of the programmable keys and why I don't want a 'dummy non-control 4 switch' Is the attached photo an example of a KC120277, as the top button controls two AC fans on my porch and the reminder keys are for scenes. I assume I can re-use this light switch (attached photo).

Like i said, that is not how it works. I've never come across anyone choosing to configure 50+ cameras individually on systems like these when they are purposely designed to be managed via the NVR.

I dont know what you are talking about. There is nothing special about HIK. You should set up IP cameras individually and check to make sure NVR settings match. Batch setting cameras via the NVR is the improper way to do it.

That's not how it works within Hikvision. The NVR must have access to the camera to manage them. Is there something precautionary in your mind?

"Mitch fixed it"? haha, well i didn't fix it, I just clicked upgrade! Happy to help anyone else upgrade to 3.4.2

@msgreenf fixed it for me with bindings - thank you! As an aside: I recently purchased Text Expander and I think I'm going to add the phrase "Mitch fixed it" to Text Expander given how often that happens

I was able to test 3.4.2's fix for remote connection of Composer HE to both properties with C4 and can confirm that it is working again which is a great fix! Note that you need to have separate licenses for HE for each property. Thanks to @msgreenf for upgrading me and helping me work through this over the last few weeks!

Hello, I am hoping someone can help. I am running an Araknis 220 router. Long story short, although it is way over my head, the working theory is that the router is blocking “DNS rebinding” and I need to setup an exception in the router. I cannot find anywhere to do it. Does anyone know if such an exception is possible with the router and if so, where do I do it? Thank you! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Who ever said programming was supposed to be fun? RyanE

They only way I known to use Aqara is to setup home assistant and connect to C4

You'd bypass it's control wire and do a passthrough power to the ceiling fan location, at which point you could still use the existing fan controller as a keypad (but you can't change the layout so you're stuck with that. Alternatively you'd put a wireless keypad in place so you can configure it to you heart's content)

For notification on not playback: that's just Idle. Idle is neither record nor play - so yes it would notify you if it stops recording if used barebones, but if that is an issue, you can just add an IF statement for IF it is recording - stop, then do the notification. As for your programming, why bother having the IF/Else statement to stop? If it's not playing, a stop command simply won't do anything to begin with: you're just over complicating things there. The not always disarming, and the programming not triggering when disarming from the panel are most likely not an issue with the mockupancy: it's likely an issue with the alarm panel or it's driver: networx however is so outdated at this point, that I doubt you'd be able to find much support except on here - provided someone here is familiar with the product. I fear your best answer will be getting a current alarm panel to replace the networkx. GE/interlogix has been gone for nearly 5 years, with end of support nearing 3 years....

I still use their products, yes, no recently but they make great products

Those companies have a history of going out of business or have shitty support. I'm a fan of paid support models. I hate lifetime passes as they always tend to go away. I'm a fan of 4sight to keep c4 in business.

Who can I ask about the intricacy of mockupancy if no answers in the forums? My installer doesn't know.

I would 100% take an heavily active community like Unifi or Home assistant for my technical support over paid staffer reading from outdated workflows who half of the time have no idea what im talking about.

Control 4 when hitting the volume +/- on the Ipad app and/or the remote is showing the volume in Absolute which doesn’t match the number on the Receiver that is using Relative. Can C4 be changed to display Relative volume? This is important because with this setup using a JVC Projector we are using Masking which cuts off the OSD at the bottom of the screen and being able to see the volume in the App or the Remote is what the client wants. Of course I can change the Sony to use Absolute but that isn't what the client wants and Relative is used for calibration as well. If anyone knows how to do this I would appreciate your help. Thanks

And most companies have that money, and thus support, built into the product. Dan you really need to relax a bit: non of this is intended to be all that serious.

Unifi does provide free and paid support options. https://ui.com/site-support. If you want real support it cost money. Not sure how my statement before should be considered a fact. Its obvious I was stating my opinion. If you would like to argue that opinion and provide a better one, go a head. Are you suggesting that from now on, on the forum, you must preface all statements with "I Believe" to make sure people don't get confused on a very subjective topic? If there is a better one out there, I honestly would like to know. If there isn't a better one out there, I think my subjective opinion is strong. I really like what I see coming out of Homekit/Apple with the support of Scrypted. Other contenders are the cloud base systems like Nest and Ring which offer a decent user experience.

I absolutely do not suggest this. Each camera should be set up individually. NVRs are designed to be reactive to a camera, not as the administrator.

I have been going the DIY route since my original install back in 2014/2015 which was new construction. Have been replacing products when they are outdated and adding Apple HomeKit products as my former C4 dealer was very slow to respond (took weeks to respond to a e-mail after multiple reminders), as in my market the dealers are chasing the new construction and over hundred thousand custom home movie theaters on Kiawah Island and Seabook Island, and very tough to schedule for equipment change out for an existing system. Mater of fact, I'm still on OS 2. Don't mind researching a product to make sure it is the correct match for my project, as when a piece of equipment fails the homeowner should have a basic under standing of how it works after a power cycle fails to fix. I'll pay a premium for a product that works, but as technology advances pricing should drop (except during the pandemic days). For example, a manufacturer that has been able to hold on prices while advancing technology is Apple. We're getting M silicon chips that cost less than the equivalent Intel chips, and a big productivity boost. Circling back that I contacted J Tech regarding the JTD-3081 as an audio extender and their support representative recommend SPDIF as I'm only extending sound to a 2.0 in ceiling speaker set up.
