*** Official Ubiquiti Discussion Thread ***

Just have different accounts in Plex and lock yours down. You can easily choose what media is available to each account.
I have one, my wife has one and the kids have one.
Hmm, Sounds so simple.... Been messing with the network all week and seems I've overlooked the simple option as everything has been a learning curve.....Thank you

It's best all having different accounts anyway so your watched and currently watching are all your own. I'm waiting for the 8 bay NAS and transfer everything from my 4 bay Asustor.
Got myself an MSI Cubi NUC 1M Intel Core 5 120U for server duties, seperate off stage and server tasks seems the best way to go going forward.

Man.... I thought I was done with the UI Store for now :cry: :o
They best not bring a new turret out with the larger sensor, I just know I'll NEED one.
I have to save up for the NAS then I want a PC and will be getting a mobo with 10Gbe, so then I'll need a little 10Gb switch as well.

Speaking of Turrets, I am still waiting on the G6 turret in black :(
 
I've been testing the Backblaze B2 on the UNAS-Pro, and the backup process is fairly seamless. I have had no issues maxing out a 2.5Gb connection for uploads, and the pricing is fairly competitive ($6 per 1TB), which is cheaper than the Synology C2 service, as I paid EUR 167.98 for 2TB with that.

Restores are not quite as seamless as you need to use your desktop / host to restore data, using CyberDuck or via CLI but with my testing, that's also fairly straightforward. It's not as nice as an all-in-one integrated solution, but maybe one day.

Overall, pretty happy about having online backups again.
 
Wow, they finally released a 1/1.2" sensor 4k camera. Had my Hikvision versions of these for about 3 years now.

I'd be curious to see the price, I imagine they'll still be at least 3x the cost though.
You are a bit out of date, Hikvision briefly used 1/1.2" sensors for their ColorVu 2 range , but seem to then go back to the 1/1.8" with ColorVu 3.. E.g. When the DS-2CD2387G3 replaced the DS-2CD2387G2, it went from a 1/1.2" to a 1/1.8" and none of the 'G3' ColorVu3 cameras had the larger sensor that I could find, and the pricing was also quite high, the DS-2CD2387G3 is around the price of the G6 Turret with very similar specs..
 
So, I've fallen down the rabbit hole of setting my network up. Found a youtube video where the guy "Kills" the default Network range 192.168.1.xx as thats the one most use as default so most often checked for hackers.
He then starts his home network to 192.168.2.xx Is this good practice. Mine auto set up 192.168.0.xx, Any harm in leaving it at that?

If I do change it will I have to manually reconnect all my devices currently on the default range

In the process of moving from the typical default subnet ranges and using VLANs with dedicated subnets for the same reason and just for learning/curiosity. Although I think threats are over-stated. Anyone here actually had their home network hacked?

It’s going OK so far, much easier to do this with UniFi kit than MikroTik RouterOS where it will happily let noobs like me do stupid things :-)

I use 10.10.1.0 for my secure/default, 10.10.2.0 for IOT.
You can use any of these,
10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255

Utter nonsense. If someone is "on" your network then the IP range itself is irrelevant.

It's as good a range as any to use. I use 192.168.8.0/24 for my main LAN and 192.168.80.0/24 for my IoT VLAN.

There's edge cases where avoiding certain ranges may be beneficial. Some years ago we acquired a company that was using 192.168.1.0/24 internally so when we added them into our WAN and VPN setup we started having problems reported where people working from home using VPN that also used 192.168.1.0/24 at home would find they couldn't print to their IP printer because the traffic was going down the VPN tunnel.
 
Can’t say I’ve ever heard it at all, but it sits in a cupboard I rarely go into.
I'd forgotten it even has a fan - don't think I've ever heard it.

Edit - I've got a UXG-Fiber rather than UCG Fiber so don't know if that makes much of a difference.
Thank you. This would be in a cupboard as well. Out of curiosity, I tried the fan script on the current UCG Max and the fan makes a bit of noise. Uninstalled it and then back to being seemingly permanently off. I keep eyeing up the UCG Fiber even though I have no need to “upgrade” to it. But man maths means that if I sold the Max, the Fiber wouldn’t be much of an outlay. Might even be able to get rid of the current switch, with the POE port on the Fiber.
