Has anyone braved the Early Access Protect ONVIF support roll out yet?

 

[ChrisD.]

Cheers. Not easy to adjust on the fly then.

Not sure what you expect to be honest, if you want to change the policy route just change it. Nothing will do it automatically for you.

I'm running 5.0.31, after they fixed the drama on 5.0.26 but I don't have an ONVIF cameras to test with

I have but my reolink Cameras will not show up. I think I will just replace them all with Unifi G5 Turret cameras

Yeah, i think i just needed it to be a little more accessible for non technical users to be able to switch the VPN location through Surfshark, but i get that use case isn't really the intended target.

Not yet, however i've got the UDM SE and also a Reolink NVR. If it works nicely then it'd be nice to get rid of the NVR

 

[Throrik]

Getting a couple of G5 Flexes I think, dangerous for my bank balance investing in all this stuff.

Presumably they don't support ONVIF users properly, or it's an issue with Protect, I suppose it's still very early days.

Technically, i'd have thought you should be able to use both, as the ONVIF user you set up should be able to co-exist with your NVR taking it's stream, after all, Protect is just taking events from the camera at this stage via ONVIF and not actually handling the processing for the stream as I understood it.

You need to add the ONVIF port (8000 IIRC). Added mine earlier.

LMK if you get stuck

Cheers, will see how i get on when it rolls into production

Seems like Ubiquiti listened and have brought out a cheap 2.5Gb switch.

Switch Flex Mini 2.5G - Ubiquiti Store

Compact, 5-port 2.5G switch that can be powered with PoE or a USB-C adapter.

store.ui.com

 

[Ev0]

Just had the email about that, will likely grab one to replace the mini I’ve currently got.

 

[Caged]

An 8-port PoE+ variant for under £200 would be nice, should be doable based on that.

 

[RSR]

Those new little Flex 2.5G switches look pretty handy, ill grab a few of those once they have stonk.

 

[b0rn2sk8]

It will sell out in minutes

Yeah they only lasted an hour or so on the U.S store and i see they are sold out on the EU now also.

Ok for anyone trying the UDM SE, whilst overall I'm impressed and happy to have moved to it (although I do miss my firewalla a bit), I put a hard drive in for Protect and it is noisy. I can certainly hear it.

Full disclosure its a fairly old hard drive I stuck in for now, but even so I'll be looking to move to an NVR that I can put in the garage/loft asap :joy:.

 

[Ev0]

Picked up a Flex Mini 2.5 from EU store just now

 

[RSR]

Protect 5.0.33 has been pushed to general release

Had my SE for a good while now and love it. HDD being noisy is hardly the fault of the Router. Mines an old WD Green drive. Im wondering if a 2TB SSD would work.
Mines under the stairs at the minute, my NAS is louder. Probably going to move it to the garage eventually.

What firewall stuff are you missing, it does everything I need.
