Re: [AFMUG] home security cams (Nest, Ring, etc.)

2019-08-20 Thread Ken Hohhof
The individual WiFi cameras streaming to the cloud just isn’t a scalable 
solution.  The cloud service charges per month per camera, and if you have a 
bunch of 4 MP cameras all streaming to the cloud, the upstream data rate is 
unreasonable for most people unless they have fiber or cable Internet, even so, 
they may not have enough upstream because of the asymmetrical bandwidth plans.  
Add the fact that all the outdoor cameras are probably at something like a -89 
WiFi signal and are impacting everything else on the WiFi.  Of course an NVR 
doesn’t fix the WiFi issue, and most people are not going to view running a 
bunch of Cat5 cables as a fun weekend project.  Although before everything went 
to cloud, app, and Internet based, I knew people who would run coax everywhere 
for analog cameras for the system they bought for $200 at Costco.

Problem with NVR's though is if it is a burglary... you can easily walk away 
with the evidence.  If the video is in the cloud... you have it up till they 
destroy the camera or internet connection.

One of my boyhood homes had a compartment in the wall between the 
kitchen and the front porch. Once or twice a week, milk, cream, butter, 
and other dairy products would show up, and we'd just take it out and 
stick it in the fridge. There was a clip on the door that held an 
ordering slip. We'd just check the items we wanted and viola! they were

Security cameras seem to be all the rage.  Many WiFi issues, but also I'm
tired of seeing them stream up to the cloud and then back down to the
customer's phone when he's sitting in his living room.  I understand when
they are away, they want to be alerted and shown a video of the UPS guy's
butt walking away from the house.  But it seems very wasteful of bandwidth
when the customer is at home, for the data to go
house-Internet-cloud-Internet-house.  Or might go over cellular to the
phone.

 

Aside from the wasted bandwidth, there is a lot more to go wrong than if
everything stayed on their LAN.  Less complaining about missed alerts,
delay, black screens, etc.

 

Does anybody know of a system sold in big box stores that can easily be set
up to keep the video local, but still go over the Internet when the customer
is away from home?  Or has everything become so cloud and Internet centric

[AFMUG] OT - for aficionados of old time audio gear

2019-08-20 Thread Ken Hohhof
This story about Jamaican dub music mentions equipment from the 60's like
the Fisher Spacexpander, Roland Space-Echo and Maestro Echoplex.  Also some
photos of gigantic speaker setups (bass is apparently an essential part of
dub music.)  I am not a musician, but some here are, as well as some who
just like old electronics stuff.  Closest thing I was aware of was recording
studios that used speakers and microphones in a basement or attic as an echo
chamber.

Whatever metric they use is not linear. I've watched it hang for a really

If you're seeing regular bursts of disk activity, let it run for 2-3 hours
before giving up.  I'm assuming it has already done the download and is
decompressing, checking, and installing the update(s).  All of which involve
lots of disk activity, probably interspersed with CPU and memory activity.
If it's just sitting there doing nothing, the update is probably stuck.

Yes. They are worried about losing revenue.

The first half of that does not make any sense to me because California now has 
a vested interest in these so called “drugs” from reaching the community via 
official channels.

The second half seems like it is more about the state losing the profit?

How is it worth the risk to import pot into a state that has recreational pot?  
Is there a market for black market pot?

Maybe watch it when it streams and there is nothing else on.  And when the kids

Re: [AFMUG] Cambium Medusa in 3.65

2019-08-20 Thread Steve Jones
We are at decision time on what to do with the 320/ubnt 3ghz, same boat on
decisions. LTE is a brand new horse to us, but the historic issues of
interference frighten my more than walking in on my wife with another man
when she should be doing laundry, I need clean work shirts. We had done
some base testing with baicells and we considering the trigger pull, but we
have the 450 out, and its performed as well or better than expected, this
is not i or m but it was considered, by us to be a drop in replacement for
the wimax, and ePMP to pick up the LOS UBNT junk.
Ive been trying to find out what SAS is actually doing real world, but I
dont know that the trial operators are allowed to speak of it without
ending up in a lake with concrete shoes. If SAS solves all the worlds woes
regarding interference, its a cost no brainer to deploy the crap out of
baicells, take the range hit, and fill the gaps with microcells where
required.
but, 450, being the horse it is, works, and works well, even in the
interference we have. Its drop in for us on the wimax because we were very
careful on EIRP to not push our luck. we may take a 1x hit here and there,
but offloading the LOS customers to EPMP will make up for that. May still
require the occasional non standard solution for the customers that just
dont work on anything other than the wimax, solely because it connected at
such a crummy level. We should have addressed them historically anyway
though.

[AFMUG] EPMP 3000 SFP Port

2019-08-20 Thread Nate Burke
Is anyone using the SFP Port on the EPMP 3000?  I have a site where I'm 
having lots of problems with the Copper Ethernet.  The Ethernet port 
never bounces and will instantly negotiate any and all 1G, 100mb and 
10mb data speeds, but I have a lot of packet loss getting to the AP.  
Ethernet traffic will just drop to 0 for a second or 2 at a time.  If I 
have to replace the Cat5, I'm going to pull a fiber up to it as well.


I usually use FS.com 10G SFP Modules in all my UBNT Edgepoint 
deployments, and haven't had any issues with those.  Wold the best 1G 
SFP for the 3000 be the SFP Offered for the 820.  N82L059A? I'm 
guessing that it should have the fewest compatibility problems.


There doesn't seem to be much control in the EPMP3000 for traffic flow 
between the interfaces, so I'm guessing that the Ethernet and SFP are 
just bridged together, and any Loop prevention would have to be on the 
other end of the cables?

2019-08-20 Thread Ken Hohhof
Probably not applicable to PMP320, but with the Purewave basestations, I’m 
convinced many operators were setting them to max xmt power ignoring FCC limits 
on EIRP.  That of course didn’t help upstream, and the CPE was fairly anemic.  
But downstream, I think that was part of the “magic”.

 

I think with CBRS there is the potential of increased EIRP over what we are 
allowed under Part 90.  Given the huge power consumption of the 3.6 GHz 
PMP450m, I have to suspect it has the power amps to take advantage of higher 
EIRP, not sure about the regular 450 AP.  If I remember correctly though, it 
doesn’t have as many antenna beams as the 5 GHz 450m.  And given the size, 
weight and power consumption, we have sites I doubt we could deploy 4 sectors.

Re: [AFMUG] Cambium Medusa in 3.65

2019-08-20 Thread Adam Moffett
Yeah I think there's truth to both statements.  You'll lose something 
like 15db per 100 meters of foliage you're passing through.  No 
technological miracle is going to make that attenuation go away.  The 
difference in my reckoning is that most products would deliver crappy 
service when there's crappy signal, whereas Wimax stepped that up to 
/mediocre/ service on a crappy signal.  LTE is another incremental 
improvement over that.


After several years of firmware upgrades our Telrad stuff is more or 
less working//ok, you just need to temper your expectations on 
capacityclaims of 200mbps with carrier aggregation and MU-MIMO have 
a lot of caveats.  Our problems with Telrad basically boil down to over 
complexity, stability, reliability, and our expectations being set too 
high by some overzealous marketing claims.  As far as NLOS, it does work 
better than most of the other options out there.it's basically a one 
trick pony in that regard.  It works nLOS, but you must carefully define 
"works".

Re: [AFMUG] Cambium Medusa in 3.65

2019-08-20 Thread Ken Hohhof
The other thing we found with the WiMax stuff (we had Purewave not 320), it was 
(in our experience) pretty much a best effort system.  We couldn’t guarantee 
speed or latency, and we had to tell people no gaming or VoIP and your video 
might buffer.  And it was very limited in how many subscribers we could put on 
it, given that everybody wants to stream Netflix in the evening, plus now 
everybody is installing security cameras that stream to the cloud.  Essentially 
it could keep a connection up, but it was useless for all the things people use 
the Internet for these days.  It was like selling someone a car but telling 
them they couldn’t drive in the rain, they couldn’t go over 25 mph, and they 
couldn’t put a bunch of kids or groceries in it.  Useless.  I have always 
suspected TVWS would have the same issues, for different reasons, it just 
doesn’t seem to have enough capacity for residential broadband, maybe OK for 
industrial machine-machine.

We were told recently by Cambium that their Medusa product in 3.65 competes
favorable with LTE competitors.  We ONLY need it for tree penetration
challenged customers.  

 

I have a healthy skepticism on 3.65 Medusa being able to magically work
better that standard 2.4 Ghz penetration, seeing the regular 450SM in 3.65
performed as expected compared to a 2.4 Ghz 450SM, meaning not as well.
Seeing that LTE or Wimax far exceeds normal 2.4 Ghz gear, expecting 3.65 in
450 series (even Medusa) is a strong leap of faith.

 

We are open minded but skeptical of these recent claims.  We are not happy
with the LTE options available ATM, having field tested Baicells and Bliniq
for a while now.

Re: [AFMUG] Cambium Medusa in 3.65

2019-08-20 Thread Mark Radabaugh
I think it’s mostly a matter of managing the expectations and what you want 
3.65 to do.Both platforms overall capacity are degraded by customers with 
poor signals.   LTE hangs on longer in low signal environments than 450. 
Cambium seems to do better in interference.   If you have a area with little 
noise (and not much potential for future noise) LTE might be better for you.  
Pay close attention to the modulation rates, signal level, and overall capacity 
of the AP.   Cambium is likely better in areas with more noise.

The only technical difference between the 450 and 450M in 3.65 that might help 
is mumimo in the uplink.  I don’t think it will be better than LTE though.

What you didn’t like about BlinQ?

[AFMUG] Cambium Medusa in 3.65

We were told recently by Cambium that their Medusa product in 3.65 competes 
favorable with LTE competitors.  We ONLY need it for tree penetration

I have a healthy skepticism on 3.65 Medusa being able to magically work better 
that standard 2.4 Ghz penetration, seeing the regular 450SM in 3.65 performed 
as expected compared to a 2.4 Ghz 450SM, meaning not as well.  Seeing that LTE

Medusa) is a strong leap of faith.
