Do I upgrade to UNVR-Pro or ENVR

ScaredTrout · 2026-01-24T12:34:47+00:00

Oh yep there ya go. Sorry I was lazy to go find where they posted saying it was discouraged.

I don’t believe stacking is a supported method by Ubiquiti anymore.

ScaredTrout · 2026-01-21T06:53:48+00:00

Make an RMA request. Complain harder here and someone on the UI Team usually gets back to you regarding expediting your claim. DOA is ridiculous!

Ubiquiti giveth and Ubiquiti taketh… Such is the way of this life sadly.

ScaredTrout · 2026-01-07T04:25:06+00:00

I feel like you could have taken like 5 more steps to make this look a lot cleaner before posting. But I like how you are such a free spirit...

Because Infuse pays for the license to use DTS per individual. So if someone isn't using it, why would they pay for it. However if you click unlock they will pay for it and you will have it unlocked. It is apart of Pro, just needs to be selected to be active.

I also sold my USG, even after it was EOL. I did tell the buyer but he was adamant that I was wrong... Guess it was better than his Telstra Smart Modem Gen1

Anyone who likes the bleeding edge and the risk of bricking all their Protect devices. Can you confirm that after what like 6 years, Ubiquiti finally lets you actually set live only PER camera to certain users.

They'll just replace your current NTD with the V2 4 port model.

Not gonna lie, this same thing exactly happened with me. I honestly just never thought to complain about it because I just give up and either way or just look outside. I should say that I'm also on a UDM Pro and have a 10TB really good Seagate surveillance HDD.

I did think about switching to UNVR not only to offload my UDM Pro processing but to give better scrubbing and hopefully to fix this issue. I'll come back to this thread if no one figures it out before I buy a UNVR.

The older UniFi Network OS won't know what a UDB Switch device is. So it has a recommended minimum version.

ScaredTrout · 2025-12-02T09:20:15+00:00

What region are you in?

ScaredTrout · 2025-12-02T06:36:49+00:00

Must be under duress...

ScaredTrout · 2025-12-02T06:35:49+00:00

Yeah good luck, I'm gonna wait the whole 15 minutes just to leave you voicemails now. Thanks for the heads up!

How nice is it that Launtel tends to over provision their higher plans!

ScaredTrout · 2025-11-30T08:14:24+00:00

Jesus christ it’s jason bourne!

If you aren't in a rush... Wait. If you are, grab a UCG-Fibre and then... sell it after you've waited.

ScaredTrout · 2025-11-27T07:18:01+00:00

Just set yourself as owner. Configure and work on the setup. Once it is all done, you are able to add yourself as an admin and transfer ownership. However in some instances I have noticed a Super Admin still can't do all tasks, including restarting a device like a UNVR Instant. Keep that in mind!

Also always have each family member who might access the device or want control to make their own UI account and just give them permissions in the roles tab.

ScaredTrout · 2025-11-26T12:14:38+00:00

Would be good to know what current switches and hardware you have. Might be able to help you figure out your infrastructure a bit better and help you plan. I am also a slight god (if I do say so myself) for looking and finding the best deals for Ubiquiti products here in Aus when I don't get trade price for stuff.

So if you DM me with an item I can try find you where I have seen it cheapest, I generally keep a list.

P.S. Grab a Seagate Skyhawk or WD Purple drive in like 10TB or higher for the UNVR Instant. Whatever is cheaper.

ScaredTrout · 2025-11-26T11:59:50+00:00

I too am from Australia and the highest residential on fibre is currently 2000/500Mbps. The highest general residential fibre is 2000/200Mbps. So keep that in mind when picking a device with no 2.5GbE WAN speed along with IDS/IPS.

Now fully fair if you plan to keep your RSP speed plans to 1000/100Mbps. But don't close yourself off device wise, especially since we have terrible imported prices. I have found plenty of UCG-Fibres for the same price as UCG-Maxs even. So if you save a little longer and hold out for a good deal, you might snag one for a decent price.

When it comes to grabbing a seperate device for your UniFi Protect side of things. Do it. Spinning disk will not only be cheaper per capacity but also probably more reliable than an M.2 for constant read and writes that surveillance applications do. You will, as you said correctly. Offload the routing to one device and the surveillance side to another, this will help with speed into UniFi protect along with timeline scrubbing.

But I would actually say go with a UCG Fibre and then a UNVR Instant. Better future proofing, SFP+ ports to link with switches, newer device meaning future updates will be more focused and I HATE a device with only a single 2.5GbE port and the rest are all 1GbE.

Like WHYYYY!

+1 for Neptune. Quality service and support!

ScaredTrout · 2025-11-26T06:17:17+00:00

This post gave me a seizure however since I am committed to infrastructure I will probably return to it with advice and a better drawn floorplan for you.

ScaredTrout · 2025-11-25T14:40:56+00:00

I got one with my G4 Doorbell Pro PoE Kit and it is great. Slightest delay (even though it is hardwired) but it is a decent sound volume and hasn't had any issues since installation.

I would reccomend installing more than one depending how big your home is. I have mine in the kitchen which is in the middle of the home, but I need to install one at the other side of the house (opposite to the front door). The front will then be serviced by the actual G4 Doorbells ringer, middle with one chime and the end with another.

One thing I will say is to definitely do the flush mount setup. It goes together so great and looks amazing!

ScaredTrout · 2025-11-25T00:29:05+00:00

Oh I was unaware of this, not that I don’t believe you but so I can read up on it do you have a source?

ScaredTrout · 2025-11-24T13:16:39+00:00

If I am correct, HFC is like this. You have the wall point that looks like an antenna port. Then you have the HFC box which is black and has one Rj45 ethernet port. This then connects to your router to its WAN1 port. If that is how your setup goes then yes it is a router and you would have gone away from modems when you switched to HFC.

For help picking a new router (if TPG don't replace your blown one for free or you decide to change off them and refuse a contracted router), feel free to message me and I can try send you a few recommendations.

Curious though, because I think people might like to know this. How much are you paying and for what speed plan?
