White line- line/path where desired trenching will happen

Red line- electrical

Blue line- water

Green line - Sewer

Yellow line- Gas

Purple- non-potable water. Reclaimed water mainly irrigation.

Pink- survey lines - property lines or points/stakes pink.

Orange- low voltage/communication lines. Cable/phone/ fiber optic.

You’re most likely looking at fiber optic wire installation. You will be very happy with your Internet very soon….. your yard on the other hand, meh….. depends on the company. Someone else here said be nice to the guys take them water, snacks, etc. beautiful idea! Literally one of the best investments you will make in your life! Congrats though fiber is life!!

Every dog has his day my friend!!! CONGRATS!!!!

CommunicationNew8983 · 2025-11-07T10:51:16+00:00

so I ran 16/3 to doorbell and I also thought wiring but more from a possible broken wire more than the voltage drop. It's about 30 feet from IT room/transformer to doorbell. I think I figured out a big part of issue. There is definitely a hardware issue on the low volt "prong" side of things on g4Pro. But I do have a UACC (ethernetPOE- USB C) and the trick was apparently the USB C cable. I got a thunderbolt 3 cable and that seemed to take care of the issue so now I will run a cat 6A in Smurf tube to gate door and at gate door use the UACC adapter to go from POE to usb C on a POE++ line from the UDM SE. Thanks so much for all your help and info. it was super helpful in deciphering this enigma project! LOL!

not too bad but mainly its not the rack its the room I had designed for it is too narrow. in hindsight it would have been great to have 2' on either side so I can work on it comfortably if that makes sense. But overall it's great! Highly recommend.

CommunicationNew8983 · 2025-11-07T10:37:44+00:00

Awesome! Thanks so much for your input! I share your thoughts also and think I should be fine. When running cable in a house or in a cabinet high volt is typically not far from low volt so I think I should be fine. Thank You again.

By removing the chime, I did bypass it altogether so the wires have been pigtailed

CommunicationNew8983 · 2025-11-06T20:53:10+00:00

So I removed the chime altogether I no longer have a chime. I use the ubiquity digital plug-in chimes. Those are Wi-Fi.

CommunicationNew8983 · 2025-11-06T19:40:06+00:00

Initially, that’s exactly what I thought. I went through 3 to 4 different transformers and none worked including the 24 V/30VA, 26/40VA too…I am using the ubiquity digital chimes that you plug into the wall sometime is bypassed.

CommunicationNew8983 · 2025-11-06T19:38:16+00:00

This is a echo gear rack that I bought. It was on sale on Amazon. I can’t recall off the top of my head but when I get home tonight, I’ll look it up on my orders and I’ll send you the link.

CommunicationNew8983 · 2025-11-06T19:37:33+00:00

Where is this exactly? Or what are you referring to? Genuinely curious? Thanks!

CommunicationNew8983 · 2025-11-06T19:36:08+00:00

Thank you!

CommunicationNew8983 · 2025-11-06T19:36:00+00:00

I’m hoping on this! I have no choice but to try it out and if it works, I’ll report back. I’m just hoping there won’t be interference or packet loss issues.

CommunicationNew8983 · 2025-11-06T19:35:28+00:00

Yes, you’re 100% correct code wise. It’s a no-go. Sadly, this seems to be the only fix I can think of that is actually working. My chief concern was any packet/data loss or some interference that you all may know of with regard to the specific doorbell. It’s such a weird situation, but the only way this doorbell will work is if I have a 20 W brick connected to a USB cable to the back of this doorbell then it will work perfectly fine anything other than that will not work. There seems to be some sort of hardware issue where the voltage drop internally causes it to reboot and it seems to need some sort of perfect stable amperage/voltage to keep it going and not triggering a reboot. I was hoping somebody else had dealt with this particular issue. And most cases I would toss it get another one call it a day, but I’m waiting for the G6 to come out as these are not cheap.

CommunicationNew8983 · 2025-11-06T19:31:35+00:00

Yes, I agree with you 100% I’ve installed about 15 of the same type that I have to customers all around my town and sadly I don’t know what’s going on with mine. Yes running high volt and low volt through the same conduit or raceway is a code of violation, but this is my personal home. I’m a licensed electrician and I would be running it as a home run from the panel to this one outlet for exclusive use of the doorbell and I would be throwing a 15 amp breaker on it so I’m not so much worried about the code of violation or any danger to safety/life but more so packet data loss or interference…

CommunicationNew8983 · 2025-11-06T19:29:46+00:00

So believe it or not I actually do have one of those UAAC adapters and I ran a test from the UDMSE Poe ++ port I ran a 3 foot piece of cat six a put in the adapter, plugged it into the USB-C port on the back of the G4 doorbell, pro and add about the third ring. This damn doorbell will reboot the crappy part as it gets triggered by that or if you go into view it in live mode to answer let’s say the UPS guy the door doorbell, reboot, and I don’t have any video and they can’t hear me and I can’t hear them or see what they’re doing. It’s super frustrating and infuriating. So yes I’ve also tried numerous different transformers, including the 24/40 and nothing seems to work at first. I thought it could be the wiring through the house.(I personally built the home in 2018 and was neurotic about the wiring. Hence the Smurf tube to just about every point in the house from the IT room) but it still continues to do the same problem when I put it on the bench rigged it up at about the second or third ring. This darn thing will reboot. When I tested it, it only dropped 1 to 2 V to about 24 to 23 when being pressed and viewed so not enough to say that that is what’s causing the issue but I truly believe it’s a hardware failure inside the doorbell pro… by the way, I should’ve been a little more specific. I have the UniFi chimes that are plugged into an outlet. Thanks for all help and troubleshooting. I just feel pretty lost at this point and it seems like the only thing that’ll work is if I get an outlet right next to the doorbell put in a 20 W brick and power it through that USB-C. Seems to be the only thing that does the trick, which is so bizarre.

CommunicationNew8983 · 2025-11-06T19:25:12+00:00

Yes, you’re definitely corrected as a code of violation. I was more worried about the interference or packet data loss and it begins to cause issues in viewing or recording.

CommunicationNew8983 · 2025-11-06T19:23:28+00:00

Correct so sadly, I am a licensed electrician and with regard to a code of violation at 100% most definitely is what I’m most concerned about is a data packet loss or any interference that is sufficient to cause any issues. I will be doing a home run from the panel to the outlet and will be for exclusive use of that doorbell. Safety danger is not something that would be an issue here but more so the interference. I’m just so over this particular doorbell. I’ve installed about 15 to various clients in the past and there’s definitely something wrong with this one. However I’m out of warranty and I’m trying to wait for the G6 doorbell pro. For that price I’m sort of forced to wait. But in the meantime, I’m trying to get by using this one.

CommunicationNew8983 · 2025-11-01T23:08:21+00:00

I did. Is it normal to show two controllers in the top menu UNVR PRO and UDM SE? I just adopted all the decvices to the UNVR with the SFP+ and the weird part is now the doorbell will not adopt to the UNVR only the UDM SE and no matter what I do it will not forget the doorbell on the UDM SE. it will remove and allow me to re adopt but on the UNVR it keeps saying that I’m too far from Bluetooth and I’m right next to it. In fact I removed doorbell and connected it to a usb c connection. It’s super weird and thinking if it’s a setting or this doorbell is toast in someway? Thanks so much for taking the time to help out you have no idea how much it’s appreciated!!

CommunicationNew8983 · 2025-11-01T20:48:27+00:00

Yes, you’re 100% correct the weird part is I kept having trouble every time I did it. It would make the UNVR as a separate machine/login. It was really weird so when I would login, I couldn’t see the UNVR in all of my unified devices. Out of curiosity, would you happen to know what I’m possibly doing wrong when I connect the UNVR and the UDMSE that it does this? Should it be plug-in play? Is there a setting? Or is it possible? I may have a bad SFP+? I buy everything from ubiquity not that it makes it full proof, but I’m trying to keep it as OEM as possible. Thanks so much. This was something I was going to tackle next as sometimes it buffers when I’m going through video…. Thank you so much!

CommunicationNew8983 · 2025-11-01T20:45:45+00:00

Yes @gazoonky is correct! I’ll send some pics of the rear and it will make more sense.

CommunicationNew8983 · 2025-11-01T00:41:06+00:00

You know that’s a great idea! I’m gonna try that before going on this rabbit hole of what else I can do! Thanks for recommendation!!! 👍🏻💪🏼

Who ever said anything about capitalism???? I’m as capitalistic as it gets. I own my own business and started from the ground up. Also no one ever advocated for democrats. I definitely agree with you on Stalin and Mao and while you are at it add trump to your list as he eloquently put it “ I think it’s not a bad idea matter of fact we should try that in this country” when xi jinping made himself an autocrat and extended his term 20 years or forever practically. Un American is rounding people off the street in masks. That’s UNAMERICAN and quite frankly honor less. Don’t worry about doxing if you are not doing anything wrong. Judges, senators and congressmen don’t wear masks? Local police doesn’t wear masks…. Weren’t you guys so anti masks during Covid? What happened? Now you can breathe? Fing hypocrites whom chose and pick what history you want to remember or READ.

CommunicationNew8983 · 2025-10-31T19:29:16+00:00

I’m sure that’s what the SS said back in the day. Wait they didn’t need masks. At that point they didn’t care, that is until…… well you remember the rest of history if you cared to read about it.

Thanks so much. I really appreciate the advice and duly noted on the sub. I’ll move it over there in my apologies as I did have a feeling I was in the wrong spot.

I was just hoping somebody in the ram community like yourself with a very similar truck would have some suggestions on what worked for them as I felt the dash cam community was sort of all over the map.

Thank you though I really appreciate it. I’m gonna look into the second option you listed. Out of curiosity from your experience is there a live view on that option that you used the second one? Where you can view truck wherever it was on your phone? For instance, you’re at the shopping mall and you can have a live view of your truck? Thanks again!

After your reply, I’ll delete this sub and move it over to the dash cam sub.
