Replacing Araknis hardware with Ubiquiti
Control4Savant replied to pinkoos's topic in General Control4 Discussion
Most POE switches are OVRC compatible. Thats not the same as control4 given technical support to 3rd party advanced configs they would never be able to keep up with. They dont want to walk you through Cisco configs either. Paid Unifi technical support is a result of their growth, profits and heavy site implementation. -
Yes

Thats exactly how it works. There are literally settings on camera UIs not included in the more general NVR config options. It’s also specifically talked about in many brands knowledge base. Otherwise you risk mismatched settings.
-
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.
-
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take an heavily active community like Unifi or Home assistant for my technical support over paid staffer reading from outdated workflows who half of the time have no idea what im talking about.
-
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.
-
Being opinion doesnt make it untrue. Most NVR software is absolutely trash, completely lack of features or intuitive UI included in consumer crap like Alarm.com DigitalWatchdog is finally an option from Snap thats worth while. Unifis camera app is easily the best, but I need to use too diverse of a camera type to really use them in most jobs.

I installed 87 Clare cams last year. Mostly because of the doorbell option and “waterfall” Ring type live camera layout. My major complaint of the turret is theres only one single mm set screw that attaches the camera sphere and shell to the mounted base. Just one.

No. We can stop there… -
You can consider them whatever you want but they are definitely touch screens. Maybe just for fun answer the question asked which was how they compare?
-
If that were true, you wouldnt be on a end user forum being overwhelmed by some pretty standard industry information. Please dont take it personally.

This post is 4 years old.

If your dad has composer pro and doesnt know about drivers or making them, not only does he not know everything about C4, he probably knows very little. This isnt a project for you. Sorry.

100%… I use Noon Lighting OLED keypads for elevated control in my Savant systems. Especially since clients can add or remove their own touch buttons and system scenes. They are VERY cool and a HUGE PITA to use all at the same time. Tactile controls make a huge difference in our primitive daily routine.

Definitely making assumptions… that doesnt negate the obvious when it comes to big business’s marketing these types of moves. Profits and sales are the goal here, not product. Id love to know what liquidly of $800m after closing will bring…

Resideo Technologies Acquires Snap One
Control4Savant replied to Rob21's topic in General Control4 Discussion
This is technically the double… -
No no. All signs point to larger (but IMO quality diluted) access and integrations. Savant is trying to become more exclusive, higher end. It’s amazing how different their paths have been in the last 5 years and how poor each brand has been at it.
-
My comment has nothing to do with C4. A lot of us integrators dont use ADI for reasons. However, if you think things were slowly evolving for Control4 now.. just wait.

As a dealer I dont suggest proprietary panels. I am an iPad + iPort guy for all touch screen situations. WallSmart is also a great place to look.

You can take the “dead’ balun and swap it with a working one in a different zone to verify it’s not a dead HDBT port. If the problem follows the balun it needs replaced otherwise it’s a bad matrix zone. HDBT is an industry standard
-
Ha..ooof… no sorry not from a feature standpoint that I am aware of. I did forget that. I am always thinking about solutions that can be interchanged between control systems. I have used a few Mood players as static sources as well.
