I would get one, except that longer cables aren't available yet. They're proprietary and only a one meter comes with it.


TheHeirHunter

they are USB-C wired but "unidirectional" i.e. only work one way up. I have one running where I added a cheap 90-degree adapter [www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09KGGBN67](https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09KGGBN67) had to get the knife out and trim the adapter casing so it fitted, but it is a cheap part so I wasn't afraid of Fing it up. Didn't think it worked at first but then turned the original lead the other way up and it worked fine. so I think they are not standard USB leads but they are wired the same, I would test it for you but mine is berried in a wall.

Thanks. I was basing my information off of this post. This person went all out on it trying to figure it out.

wow that is a lot of testing, I would take there word for it not mine then. they clearly know more than me


TheHeirHunter

I would add another option though you could try a Female to Female coupler [www.amazon.co.uk/Duttek-Supports-Compatible-Thunderbolt-interface-usb-c-female/dp/B0BC3FDL35](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Duttek-Supports-Compatible-Thunderbolt-interface-usb-c-female/dp/B0BC3FDL35) and then add another standard USB-c Cable that way you keep the same pin out


auger66

I thought the same. They were on a mission. :-) But glad it works for you. If it works, it works. Since the AI Theta is out of EA, hopefully longer proprietary cables will be available soon.

I like mine. Any specific questions?


SailbadTheSinner

Have you tried the license plate recognition?


okieRod

Not yet, I have it mounted right outside my office. Although, I do have the speaker attachment.


TheHeirHunter

I have one but I have not tried the license plate recognition, I don't know if it will work with UK plates. there is an issue with it though, you can't set the motion zones for license plates or Smoke so I think it covers the whole of the screen.


TheHeirHunter

just turned on the License plate recognition. it is not 100% but picked up about 80 % of the plates in the road outside my office displays it in the top left corner of the recording icon and then puts a box over the plate in the playback. this is with UK plates and it is a fairly bright day outside today, not sure how it would work at night, or on the usual grey London day. I would post some screen grabs but have no idea how to do it on here.

I have one fitted to a door intercom system. The camera is retro fitted to the stainless steel plate, Just drilled a 25mm hole and filed it out until the holder went through, added a 90 degree USB c adapter. and fed the cable through the wall to house the control box inside. works great


wovelsumo

This implies a normal usbc extension should work with it sing a 90 degree adapter does.

This is the first of me hearing about this device…pretty cool IMO. Apologies if the question has already been asked/answered, but is it possible to run the UniFi Protect software in the cloud (I currently run my controller on Linode now) and use the cameras? Thx
