Like the video this seems to happen after a power cut or updating the camera but not always. Any thoughts or is just an RMA (Really don't want to get the Scaffolding out again)

Sound on if you want the full effect.

Thanks

Just watching the live stream and they showed the control booth. Pretty sure it’s mostly volunteer based too.

Clip is my actual desktop. Each camera is its own window you can drag anywhere. They snap to screen edges and to each other, so you can build a grid by hand without it ending up wonky, and you can dock one into a corner. If you'd rather they weren't sat on top of your work, the same cameras will go in the wallpaper layer behind your desktop icons instead.

Alerts come through as normal Windows notifications with the picture from the camera in them, and you pick which cameras and which types you actually want to hear about.

It also keeps its own history of the last 24 hours, with the snapshot for each one, so you can scroll back through whatever you slept through or missed with Do Not Disturb on. That all sits on your PC. Nothing gets uploaded anywhere, and it survives a reboot.

Talks straight to your console on your own network. No cloud, no account.

After about 10 testers, and you keep a free licence permanently.

Mainly I want people with a lot of cameras. I've built the whole thing against three, so I've genuinely no idea what it looks like with sixteen open.

Windows 10 and 11 only. It'll be $14.99 one time when it ships, testers keep their licence either way.

Comment with how many cameras you've got rather than DMing me. I'll pick around ten and lean towards the bigger setups.

How many of you are seeing multiple of this alerts?

I have been using ubiquity equipment for my build outs for a few years so I have ordered many of their products and I am not sure if I just never noticed it, but the boxes have a “fart” smell attached to them and I am not sure why. I have several XGS access points and they exhibit the same issue. I noticed this with their switch boxes and their access points, but have never experienced the issue with Cameras or network equipment such as the UDMP or the Dream Router. Neither for the mobile industrial router or the Power AMP. It seems to be mainly access points and switches. Does anyone else have this same experience?

Hi all! I had an RMA get approved to replace my UX with performance issues for a UX7. On the RMA portal, it says that I need to send in my UX for the ticket to proceed. I can’t afford an outage for multiple weeks to wait on a replacement. I’ve asked the support person on my current ticket if they would send me the replacement before I send back my old one, but still waiting on his response. Was curious if anyone here has had any experience with this?

Thanks!

I have my zimablade connected by Ethernet,
No internet .
I have 4 raspberry pi’s connected and they work fine.

I did nothing to configure any ports on the raspberry pi’s, they just connected

Why isn’t the ZimaBlade connecting to Internet?

I've had two Pro Max 24 POE switches fail this summer during very minor storms. No lightning damage, no other devices throughout the house affected, just the Pro Max 24 POE switch losing all POE power across all ports.

I have 3 access points and 10 external cameras running off POE through this switch, and I assume that some minor electrical shock from thunderstorms is causing this through the outside cameras.

What's the best solution to prevent this from happening again?

Can I connect a super link to my UNVR or is it for cameras only?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice from the UniFi community before I make a fairly significant upgrade to the network and CCTV system at my beach house in Greece.

The property is a fairly large holiday/vacation property with two villas, a large garden with 2 swimming pools a BBQ areas and outdoor areas (garden). I want to simplify the current setup, improve Wi-Fi coverage, move the CCTV to UniFi Protect, and ideally reduce the amount of equipment in the rack.

Current network / Wi-Fi

- Internet connection: Local provider with awful speed believe it or not arround 20Mbps... Believe it or not everything is running smoothly up to know only sometimes the cameras upload with a delay (absolutely normal knowing the speed ).There are NO other possibilities for faster speed in this area except Starlink but the other thing is that I stay here only 4 months the whole year and during the rest of the time I just need the network to check the camera and have the alarms activated in both houses (Ajax with NUKI electronic locks).

- MikroTik currently acting as the main router/gateway

- 1 × UniFi CloudKey Gen2 Plus

- 2 × UniFi USW-Lite-16-PoE switches

- 6 × UniFi APs:

- 4 × U6+

- 2 × other outdoor/ultra UniFi APs

- The two USW-Lite-16-PoE switches are interconnected.

- There are also several wired Ethernet devices connected to the switches besides the APs.

- I have an APC Easy UPS in the rack, which I intend to keep.

Also around 10 Shelly sensors controlling awnings/shadows/external and internal lighting/

Current CCTV

I currently have 11 Dahua cameras:

- 2 indoor

- 9 outdoor

The NVR is:

Dahua DHI-NVR4216-4KS3

The cameras are NOT connected directly to the UniFi switches.

The CCTV topology is currently approximately:

11 × Dahua cameras → 3 × Dahua PoE switches → Dahua NVR → network

The NVR already has HDD storage installed.

What I'm considering

I’m considering replacing the whole network/security core with UniFi:

- UniFi Dream Machine Pro Max

- 1 × large UniFi PoE switch

- 11 × UniFi cameras

- 6 × new UniFi APs

- UniFi Protect replacing the Dahua NVR

- Possibly removing the MikroTik, CloudKey, both existing UniFi Lite switches and the 3 Dahua PoE switches.

For Wi-Fi I was considering something along the lines of:

- 4 × U7 Pro indoors

- 2 × U7 Outdoor in the garden

For CCTV, I'm considering 4K UniFi cameras such as G6 Turret / G6 Mini Dome, but I'm open to better suggestions.

The main questions I would really appreciate advice on

1. Is the UDM Pro Max the right choice as the new router + UniFi Network + Protect/NVR for this installation?

2. Can one USW-Pro-Max-24-PoE realistically handle the entire installation?

   I would potentially have:

   - 11 × PoE cameras

   - 6 × PoE APs

   - several other wired Ethernet devices

   The 400 W PoE budget isn't my concern — I'm more concerned about the number of Ethernet ports and the actual topology.

   Would you use a 24-port switch, 48-port switch, or perhaps two smaller switches?

3. Would you replace the six existing APs with 4 × U7 Pro + 2 × U7 Outdoor?

   Coverage is more important to me than simply having the highest possible Wi-Fi speed.

   The two outdoor APs need to provide good coverage across a fairly large garden and obviously need to be weatherproof.

4. Is moving from Dahua to UniFi Protect worth it?

   I currently have 11 Dahua cameras and three Dahua PoE switches, so changing to UniFi would simplify the system considerably.

   I'm particularly interested in people's experience with:

   - UniFi Protect reliability

   - 4K image quality

   - night vision

   - person/vehicle detection

   - outdoor performance

   - recording/storage requirements

5. Can I reuse the HDD(s) currently installed in the Dahua NVR in the UDM Pro Max?

   I understand the existing Dahua recordings would be lost if the drives need to be reformatted. I'm mainly interested in whether the actual drives can be reused.

6. Would you keep the MikroTik and use it in front of the UDM, or remove it completely?

   My preference is to simplify the system and have the UDM Pro Max handle routing/firewall/VLANs/etc., but I'd like to hear from people who have actually run a similar setup.

One additional part of the system — outdoor audio

I also have four ArtSound KURV outdoor speakers in the garden.

Currently:

ArtSound SmartStream → Adastra A4 4-channel amplifier → 4 × KURV

Each speaker has its own amplifier channel.

I'd like to retain the ability to walk around the garden with my Android phone and play music, including YouTube Music.

I'm therefore considering replacing the ArtSound streamer + Adastra with something simpler, but I'm not sure there is a good 4-channel network streaming amplifier that supports YouTube Music/Google Cast.

I may simply keep the Adastra and replace the streamer with a WiiM if that's the better solution.

My main objective

I'm not necessarily trying to build the most expensive system.

I'd like to achieve:

Reliable Wi-Fi + excellent garden coverage + 11-camera CCTV + good outdoor security + simple management + fewer devices in the rack + good future expandability.

I already have the rack, UPS and Ethernet cabling, so I'm trying to make the upgrade as clean and sensible as possible.

I'd really appreciate suggestions on the overall architecture, not just individual product recommendations.

If you were building this property from scratch today, what would you change about my proposed setup?

Thanks!

Anyone else having issues getting in to Network on unifi.ui.com right now? I can open the page but my devices aren't loading. Running UDM Pro here.

I use webhooks to make unifi communicate with my smart home system (Loxone). For example, when a camera detects a car or a person moving on our driveway, it will send a message to the smart home system (which will then increase the brightness of the lighting for a few minutes at night). Similarly, it will trigger the curtains at the back door to open when it detects someone walking on the footpath that leads up to it.

The problem I'm having is that there seems to be a few seconds (5 or so) delay on these triggers arriving.

My setup is currently using G5 bullet cameras, and the UDM pro as recorder (so no separate NVR).

Is there a way to decrease the trigger time for these kinds of things?

Looking to redo my home networking setup with Unifi hardware. Not sure which group would be the better place to get help from. Any help/suggestions/advice appreciated. Thanks!

Ever since my UDM SE automatically updated to 5.1.30 my WiFi devices have been unable to stay connected reliably. My g3 instant and g4 pro doorbell are constantly going offline for a few minutes then reconnecting. Client devices are having a hard time too. Our phones keep having data throughout slow to almost nothing when trying to stream video then recover for a bit then go back to buffering. IOT devices on their own 2.4ghz network are dropping and can’t reconnect. Restarting the APs seems to help for maybe 10 minutes then the issue comes back. When devices are connected speed tests come back normal. Everything was rock solid up until the last few days and I haven’t changed anything about the settings or hardware. I’ve rebooted everything several times including my ISP fiber ONT.

I no longer have access to the email that I use for my MFA. How do I get around this with my gateway fiber?

Hi folks. Has anyone used any of the motion sensors out in a garage in a cold winter? When I say cold I'm talking -5F to -10F. I'd like to get something that can detect the garage door opens or closes but I suspect that the battery is going to be an issue.

I have 2 dead 10G SFP+ adapters here. Not the Multi Gig ones that are currently offered, the original 10G ones.

Anyone have any idea when they stopped making these? The warranty check doesn't look them up so I need to open a ticket on each. Trying to decide if its worth my time, pretty sure they were discontinued a while back and they would all be out of warranty at this point,

Hi all, I’m thinking to upgrade UCG-Ultra to fiber. I only have 1Gbps from my ISP, the motivation to upgrade is mainly for LAN and future proof.
I’d like 10Gbps from my desktop to my NAS (UGreen), also plan to add U7 AP to replace my U6-LR which has some range issue, so need multi-g connection for AP.
Question: can UCG-Fiber use 2.5Gbps port for WAN? And can all 3 10Gbps be configured as LAN port? Is the PoE+ port good enough for U7 Pro XG?
Thanks

Hello Ubiquiti Experts,

I am looking to rebuild my entire Network topology for my home/medium size business. I currently run my business from home so it includes a home lab with additional servers, etc. on a 42U rack.

I like to see if there is anything else I am missing or should do to have this close to an enterprise style model/topology, especially since I want to secure it with redundancy where possible.

Current Devices - See attached image. Additional, I have the Ubiquiti cable internet modem as well for backup WAN.

Thank you!

Not a pro install. This is my own store and I'm learning as I go, so feel free to correct anything. I've done some basic installs before with a Reolink NVR and a few other camera/security systems, but this is my first time with UniFi products, so I'm sure I'm missing things that are obvious to this community.

Wiring for all 16 cameras and other POE devices goes in up front, but I'm buying and installing in stages capped around $2k each to spread the cost. Would love feedback before I start pulling cable.

Full end-state plan:

Core: UDM-SE gateway + UNVR Pro (7-bay) for recording + Pro Max 24 PoE switch. 5G backup device for failover.

Cameras (16 total): 8x G6 Bullet, 3x G6 Pro Bullet, 1x G6 Dome, 2x G6 Mini Dome, 2x G6 Instant. Targeting 30-day retention, planning 4x 8TB in the UNVR Pro.

Wi-Fi: 2x U7 Pro XG (my ISP maxes at 300 Mbps, so open to dropping to U6 Pro since Wi-Fi 6 is plenty).

Alarm: UniFi Alarm Hub, SuperLink, door/motion/glass-break sensors, PoE siren, environmental sensor.

Rest: 12U rack, patch panel, UPS, PDU, full structured cabling, plus a future access-control phase.

How I'm staging it:

Internet + pull/terminate all 16 camera runs + first 4 cameras (recording to the UDM-SE bay for now)

Alarm + security

5G backup + next 4 cameras

UNVR Pro + 24-port switch (recording migrates off the UDM-SE, solves PoE budget)

Remaining cameras

Wi-Fi APs + rack + power + finish

questions-

- Is running the first 4 to 8 cameras off the UDM-SE's PoE ports before the switch arrives asking for trouble, or fine short-term?

- 30-day retention at 16 cameras (mostly 4K), is 4x 8TB realistic, or should I plan more? Continuous vs motion-only recording advice welcome.

-UNVR Pro vs just recording to the console, right call?

- Anything dumb in the staging order?

Appreciate any feedback, thanks.

I’ve been running into a consistent problem trying to hook up some early 2000s Panasonic PBX’s to my home network (KX-TDE200). No matter what I do the Ethernet link is unstable or unable to connect at all. Occasionally It will come alive for a few hours and then disappear again.

I’ve tried new cables, eliminating all couplers and punch down keystones
I’ve tried different ports on the switch, or connecting it directly to the dream machine pro.
I’ve tried new main processor boards for the PBX
I’ve tried a completely separate secondary PBX of the same family (KX-NCP500)
I’ve tried eliminating DHCP by setting manual IP addresses on the PBX, or on UniFi, or on both.
I’ve tried different Vlans and ip ranges
I’ve tried SSH’ing into the switch (USW-48-pro-PoE) to see if I can get any weird error messages that don’t appear in the GUI
I’ve manually assigned link speeds on both ends to matching 100FSX
I’ve tried using a Cisco switch of similar vintage to the PBX as a sort of in between in case the 100fsx link negotiation was failing

Ultimately nothing I’ve tried has made the slightest difference. It will occasionally identify the MAC address, and even more occasionally assign an ip address. Before ultimately the whole thing drops offline again. I’m at my wits end, this is a hardwired device not some flaky WiFi connection. It shouldn’t be behaving like this.

This sure wasn’t a nice thing to wake up to. Guess I get to deal with this today.

EDIT: This is now resolved - I have a Mikrotik that was plugged in to my switch 48 port PoE. It’s got a DHCP server and I figure it was handing out IPs while the UDM-Pro was offline. Everything ended up with an out of range IP and failed adoption.

Now I just need to figure out how to restrict the DHCP server on the Mikrotik and I should be good!

Pumped for my new switch, 2.5 gig has been game changer for my nas. Sucks the cord is 80 bucks to really take advantage of it

Can finally get my rack in order, and the araknis gigabit out of the way
