*** Official Ubiquiti Discussion Thread ***

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.
I think the Fibre is a lot cooler running device.
 
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.
I went 10.10.#.# purely because it's easier to remember and faster to type.
 
The only good reason to get off 192.168.x.x is because if you ever need to VPN to someone else's network else you can pretty much guarantee that they'll be using 192.168.0.x or 192.168.1.x, and it's just easier to not have to work around that. I pick 10.something because the chances of clashing with another LAN subnet when you're on e.g. 10.6.100.132 are slim.

Companies should not be using 192 address space for precisely this reason.
 
It does but is also want the package cam so I may need to go for an expensive one :p

The battery in my original G4 has degraded so in winter, it can’t power the door bell and mechanical chime at the same time so it reboots whenever someone hits the button. At least the mechanical chime still goes off.
 
Why does a door intercom with NFC and a touchscreen have a package camera, who is dropping a parcel outside a corporate office.

If its smaller than there current models I'm definitely in. They were always too big for mounting on the door frame in the corner next to the brickwork.
I did measure the G4 doorbell and like you say, it wouldn't have fit in the corner next to the frame and brickwork either. Hopefully these are slimmer.

Edit for store page. 40mm wide for the lite.

Looks perfect then fair bit smaller. My plan is to run the cat5e between the frame and brickwork so no drilling only some new silicone on the trim.

I would have no way to run PoE without absolutely ruining the door frame so not for me unfortunately. Sitting flat, it would still have a 5mm overhang or so too. With the wedge it would likely be fine. Let's see if a WiFi version appears soon.
