Yes vlan is best.

As I already said I have a lot of ubiquity hardware. I have a router, switch, and several wifi APs. I really want to go all Ubiquity for the convenience but their cameras are just bad at the same price as other products.

I’ve actually bought and compared them. I’ve had ip cameras in my home for almost 10 years now. I’ve tried many cameras over the years.

It’s not just my opinion, every review rates Ubiquity’s cameras low. You are paying for convenience of integration if you already have Ubiquity’s products.

Hikvision has a $34 4 mp turret camera that outperforms the $130 2 MP Ubiquity in both dark and brightly lit environments. You can get them with color night vision or IR. Feature wise you can use them stand alone: you connect and control them with a web browser. You don’t need to buy anything else. They have built in motion detection and will save to a microsd card. I use an NVR, but it’s nice to have that feature if you are just getting started.

Same with Dahau. I like Hikvision for its web UI. But as I’ve already said, I don’t trust them and block their Mac/IP at the router. Ideally you want them on their own vlan.

That’s why I said don’t trust it and block them at your router.

As long as you block them at your router Hikvision and Dahau are much better than the other brands at the same price. I’ve tried 6 different brands. I’ve been slowly moving them to all Hikvision.

Regular IP cameras don’t require a sub and let you store everything locally (even to the point of a micro SD in the camera for backup).

Ubiquity cameras are ridiculously over priced for their quality. They charge $140 for a worse camera (image quality/ features) than a $40 ip camera that supports ONVIF so works with open source Linux NVR software.

Regular IP cameras support ONVIF so they can work with any software.

I have Unifi router, switch and wifi APs.

Anything that supports ONVIF. I like Hikvision for their quality, price, and web interface for setup. But don’t trust any IP camera. Make sure the Mac and or IP address is blocked at your router.

There are different night visions to pick from. There’s ir night vision and white led lit night vision. I prefer ir night vision because I don’t want visible led lights on all night. You get a better picture at night although its black and white.

However many color night vision cameras do really well without any light source at all. I tried both and it’s more of a preference so I can’t say which one will work for you.

Ubiquity is the definition of vendor lock in.

Nobody warned me that 2018 was the best time to see Saturn!

6 years before the rings are aligned at a good angle to earth again?

As others gave said, the solution is a VM but once setup correctly, you won’t notice.

If Windows is your primary computer, install HyperV, the built in VM manager for Windows. Then create a Linux VM for your NAS.

Once setup, you won’t even notice. HyperV auto saves and reloads the VM whenever you reboot. You don’t even need a window open for the VM, it runs in the background until you run the manager to connect to the VM and see it in a window.

If Linux is your primary OS, do the reverse and put Windows in a Linux VM.

Don’t hassle with Proxmox, etc. That’s for running lots of VM’s and toggling between them.

Does it matter on an iPhone? Unless something changed, Apple only allows reskins of Safari.

There are eink phones.

You might want to consider that backups only protect very old data from ransomware.

Ransomware works by getting on a machine and sitting for several months before activating. During that time, your data is encrypted but you don’t know because when you open a file, your computer decrypts it and shows you what you expect to see. So your backups are working but are saving files that will be lost once the ransom ware activates.

The only solution is to frequently manually verify the backup from a known safe computer. Years ago I looked for something to automate this but didn’t find it. (Something like a raspberry pi with no Internet that can only see the PC it’s testing, compares a known file, then touches the file so it gets backed up again.)

TOP SPEED.

It says it cannot fill it at top speed. Top speed means how fast it charges, not maximum capacity.

The summary is wrong. The article says 3rd party chargers can’t charge the Pixel as fast as Google’s proprietary charger. (45 Watts for Google vs 37 Watts for everyone else.)

Any charger will charge it to maximum capacity.

Yes the split personality was fine. It was the last season where there’s child Elliot split personality and, mom split personality. And no, they weren’t in Season 1.

Esmail went down the Ronald Moore path where he had an idea but lied to the audience that he had a plan. Again first season was perfect but I don’t think Esmail expected it to be such a success and quickly had to fill in extra seasons with mystery boxes.

I disagree. First season was perfect. But then it went downhill into unresolved Lost mystery boxes. The last episode of the last season itself was great but Esmail had no idea how to fill out the episodes of the last season to get there.

He was throwing around split personalities like Ronald Moore threw around Cylons. The time machine story went nowhere despite a multi season build up.

Yes and no. Networks had ads but cable began inserting their own ads in addition to the network ads. When I ran a company I did large media buys with cable companies. I would buy ads from the regional cable company which would air in between the national ads of Comedy Central, Discovery, etc.
