Grab ‘em.

I'm looking for recommendations on a digital projector that could be mounted 9' above the floor and project a static image onto the floor. The resulting projection needs to be large - close to 20' in total length and projected at about a 45 degree angle. Room will be dimly lit. Assuming I can create a digital image and account for keystoning in the image, are there any projectors that will throw that size at that angle and height?

All of the following is to be considered under the self imposed desire to run a single switch, this is purely due to my preference, not for any technical reason:

I'm currently operating a Pro Max 16 PoE switch which has been brilliant. Finally got the OEM rack mount kit which finished it off nicely.

My dilemma is that I need more 2.5G PoE+ ports now and I need at least one more 10G port of some kind.

Upgrading to a Pro Max 24 PoE resolves my 2.5G port shortage, but not the 10G. The Pro HD 24 PoE has what I need, but $999 starts to get into the realm of crazy for home use, even by the standards of this sub ;-)

I'm wondering if I should hold on to see if any new 24 port options are forthcoming or just bite the bullet on the HD?

Since updating to Protect 7.1.xx I seem to have lost the ability to create and save presets on my G5 and G6 PTZ cameras. I'm running a UNVR on Protect 7.1.83, Unifi OS 5.1.19, and the cameras are on firmware 5.3.94.

I can create a preset and save it but when I move off that camera and come back, the presets are gone.

Anyone else seeing this?

Momma is still building the nest behind one of my G5 PTZs. Going to be fun to watch.

As noted in several other posts, Protect 7.1.69 broke smart alert tracking of people on the G5 PTZ cameras. Reverting to 7.1.60 seemed to fix it for one of my G5 PTZs, but not the other. Both have been reset and updated to firmware 5.3.90. One tracks, one does not.

I've decided to open an RMA on that camera, but I wonder if it's really the Protect update causing some hangover?

Update: UI accepted an RMA request for this camera, so I guess it was just a coincidence this function broke on this unit right now.

Run don't walk to your browser!

First a G4 Instant with a bad WiFi chip and now a G6 Turret that’s totally DOA. Sigh.

Come on UI, is there not even basic QA going on?

RMA process is tedious.

I'm working on a project for a group event that would like to project the image of a staircase on the ground from about 3.5 meters high. The image needs to be approximately 1 meter wide and 7 meters long. Is that possible with a gobo projector?
