    *** Official Ubiquiti Discussion Thread ***

    These are for new cameras. You are correct though, I can't be bothered to make my own patch leads. Ordering leads from Ubiquiti is expsive if you only need a few due to the delivery charge. Hence the ask.

    *** Official Ubiquiti Discussion Thread ***

    Can anybody point me in the direction of suitable patch leads for Unifi cams? They seem to prefer low profile connectors, without snag preventors etc.

    What do you guys recommend for an alarm/security system to integrate with Unifi Cams etc?

    Frankly obscene Ring 42.8% subscription increase

    Sadly not. You either have to pay the subsciption for their cloud storage service, or you use the Ring as a live-only doorbell. You won't be able to use your own storage.

    I'm thinking of getting the POE version.

    Frankly obscene Ring 42.8% subscription increase

    How quick is the G4 between the button being pressed and the notification coming up on your phone? It was much slower than Ring when it first came out, but I'm aware the software has evolved since then.

    Wireless VLANs for SSIDs on multiple Unifi Access Points

    Figured it out - you also have to tag the port that the firewall is connected to on the switch. Doh!

    Wireless VLANs for SSIDs on multiple Unifi Access Points

    I've already setup a VLAN network (DNS, DHCP, etc) on the firewall (subnet 192.168.33.1/24) with VLAN ID 33, so devices on the IoT SSID (VLAN ID 33) should be getting an IP from the DHCP on the firewall. I've just dug out a spare laptop and assigned static IP settings for the VLAN subnet and it...

    Wireless VLANs for SSIDs on multiple Unifi Access Points

    I'm trying to get an IoT wireless VLAN working on my (five) Unifi access points. I'm running the Unifi Controller on a Raspberry Pi, and have figured out adding a VLAN under the Network settings. I have a non-Unifi firewall router (Firewalla) and have added a VLAN (matching the ID on the Unifi...

    Spec me a CCTV System

    You need a LPR camera (HikVision call them ANPR cams). They're not cheap mind!

    Asus mesh solutions

    Out of interest, what cameras and software/NVR are you using? I installed Hikvision with PVR 8 years ago.

    Asus mesh solutions

    That was the start of my issue, I was running a 32-bit OS (as per the original recommended installation instructions). I've installed a 64-bit Bullseye OS, but have then found that Ubitique is insisting on running an old version of MongoDB, but there's no package for the ARM based Pi 3B. Having...

    Asus mesh solutions

    Well the new AC U7s aren't seen in the Unifi controller (running on a Raspberry Pi). Tried updating the Unfi Network Manager to latest version (it's stop advising of the latest updates) - doesn't work due to a package issue... "Skipping acquire of configured file...

    The fan only spins up as required - under heavy load, high temps etc. In normal use it's silent. I'm not going to be saturating it with 6 or 6E devices for quite a while yet.

    I'm thinking the U7 Pro is the way to go.

    Asus mesh solutions

    It's not as simple as just 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Different APs will have different different goals based on the design use case. As an example - single AP deployments and multi AP deployments have different design goals. A single consumer AP can go high power and high gain antennas because the...

    Asus mesh solutions

    From what I've been reading, it seems that Unifi APs are generally designed to work in more open areas (office spaces), where they handle lots of devices and handshakes between APs very well - and as enterprise devices, so they should. They are not so great in residential homes (but by no means...

    Asus mesh solutions

    I already have a very good router and am currently looking to either add more Unifi APs, or ditch Unifi and go for the latest consumer grade mesh solutions that have improved considerably since I first put in the AC Pro APs. I've been looking at the Asus Pro ET12 and XT8 products (mainly the XT8...

    What have I done?

    What's it say in the device manager? Is the network card working?
