Yes, I agree a desktop app will be nice. On a side note, the safari plugin doesn't work on Mojave. It works on all previous versions of the macOS though.

No problem.

Not yet. My understanding is January 2019 and it will be a standalone desktop app Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lol, they weren’t the only ones who didn’t realize the plugins were being eliminated and they acknowledged the issue and are fixing it. Again, apple’s own tech support guys didn’t even know about the plugins being eliminated, so I think you’re being a little harsh in this situation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Luma cameras are rock solid. There has been a lot of advancements in the technology since your wire path system was installed. I can tell you from personal experience that Luma 700 bullets provide outstanding resolution. The 700s and the 500s are 4mp cameras. The 300 series is 2mp, so not quite as good, but not a huge difference, and the quality is still excellent. When you pair these cameras with the new NVR 510, which has a 4k hdmi output, you can run the cameras into a video matrix for 4k distribution of the cameras throughout a system. When you couple the quality of the cameras, with the motion/notification settings and other options on the Luma NVRs, I'm not sure you will find a more versatile and stable security system around. In my personal opinion, you can't go wrong with the Luma system. I have never had a camera go out since I installed them. Also, SnapAV sent out a notice very soon after my original post about the plugin issue saying that they were aware of it, and would have a fix out within the next couple weeks. I think a lot of companies were blind sided by Apple basically eliminating plugins....one of the apple tech support guys I spoke to about the issue didn't even know they had essentially discontinued them in Mojave. The camera system isn't affected at all by this issue anyway. It only matters if you are trying to tweak technical settings and motion alerts, and don't have access to internet explorer on a pc. If you have a mac, and run parallels on Mojave, you can still access the backend of the system without a problem. The Luma plugin still works on all prior Mac OS, since they all support plugins. Hope this helps answer your questions!

Nevermind! I solved the issue, although it still makes no sense to me. All good though now!

No matter what I try, I cannot seem to get the HC800 to not say "invalid ntp argument config (start|stop|restart|config_server|config_client)" under the Internet time settings in system manager. I have a couple hc250's that work perfectly fine, so I'm wondering if this HC800 just broke on me?

I'm having the hardest time connecting to Composer all of a sudden. i've literally tried everything I can think of, including a factory reset. Prior to the factory restore, I kept getting the could not connect to director at (my ip address). Now, following the factory restore to 2.5.3, although the HC800 controller shows up on my home network/composer, when I click on it to login, I keep getting this damn message "Could not authenticate the connection to director at my ip address.Common causes are incorrect time/date settings, on the controller or on the computer running Composer." The date and time are correct. I've used system manager to verify that it is correct. With that being said, every time, I select "Internet time server" as the manner I want the controller to keep time and hit "configure", but after I disconnect from the director and then reconnect, it shows the time is configured to gps/other local time server. Can someone please advise on what the heck I need to do to get this working again? So frustrating!

Quick PSA for those who have and/or are purchasing Luma cameras/NVRs. Absolutely great cameras/NVRs. however, as of this moment, you are not able to access the backend settings of the cameras/NVR through the web on a mac if you're running the latest operating system. In order to access through the web on a mac, there is a plugin you need to download for safari. Unfortunately, it appears the plugin has not been updated for Mojave, and thus is not registering properly. Hopefully it will be addressed soon. I am going to alert them to the issue today.

You think more likely than the matrix switch being the issue?

OK, that's what I'm thinking too. I'm still under warranty, so if it turns out to be bad, I should be good. I don't think it's the cat6 in the wall, only b/c I hadn't had any issues until just recently....seems like it would have been a problem previously, but maybe not. I just hope it's not the matrix switch itself. Still under warranty with that too, but much more of a headache to get swapped out. Thanks,

All, I noticed a couple weeks ago that one of the tvs hooked up to my Control4 Leaf 4k 6x6 matrix is at random times having issues. Intermittently/very randomly, the picture on the tv will go out for a split second, and then come back. It's extremely quick and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. Sometimes it happens more than others, The tv is hooked up to a leaf 4k balun. I've switched the hdmi cord from the balun to the tv and the cat6 cable from the wall jack to the balun, but it's still happening. The other four televisions hooked up to the matrix work completely fine/don't have this problem. I'm guessing my next step should be switching out the balun on the tv having the issue with one on a tv that is not having an issue. Maybe the balun is going bad? I'm 99% sure the cat6 cable from the matrix to the balun is good, and I have a "good" status connection in composer, so I'm really not sure what is happening. I have also tried recalibrating the matrix, but the same issue occurs. Anyone have this happen before, know how to fix it, or have any suggestions? Thanks in advance! Steven
