Finished installing a UNVR instant on the weekend.. the common issue of migration failing on some cameras and a physical access 'reset' required (PITA!) aside, the only reason for this is support have not helped over the last 2 months with a sudden base memory jump of 18% and a memory leak that meant every 2-3 days it would need my UCG-F rebooting!..
In one way, it's a shame as the UCG-F was performing flawlessly and perfect for a small 'Protect' setup.. but it is what it is.. We tried early access updates but nothing worked, including a full 'manual' restore of settings after a factory reset, so it was either stop using protect, or move to another appliance.
I essentially just put it exactly where my Hikvision NVR was, I have a small wall mounted monitor with HDMI cable still there (So the inbuilt viewport works well) and all my cameras/doorbell/chime cables already went to that same location, so installing was a breeze (well, aside from 2 cameras not adopting and needing a hard reset with physical access!)..
Performance is fine, it's around 50% memory, 30% CPU most of the time, and the WD Purple Pro HDD is fairly responsive and I've not noticed any real lag compared to the NVME in the UCG-F.
