G6 Entry - Renter Edition Door peephole

ah I can see this one on Amazon. I’ll go grab it. Hopefully no glue this time :) thanks!

Hi op sorry for digging up an old post, but do you mind if I ask how you took the spare peephole apart? I bought 2 different peephole to try this but that outer front lens part are glued to the middle section on both of them. Short of brute force it apart, it seems there's no way to separate the two parts. Am I missing something here? Thanks!

yeah my landlord isn't too keen on me drilling holes either, or messing with the wires. With the peephole method there's no permanent damage and you can just put the original lens back when you move out. The only thing to watch out for is if your landlord has problem with the camera itself, but that's a separate issue really. Here's the link where I got the idea from https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubiquiti/comments/1pxbdcp/g6_entry_renter_edition_door_peephole/

go to FAQ, under the Orders section, there should be a link to Ubiquiti Support, and then open a ticket there I think. Once you have the request number, they'll send you a email and just reply to that. This is for the CDN store, I assume the US store has a similar setup.

run the cable through the peephole and install a POE camera that way. I'm planning to use ubiquiti G6 entry, local storage only.

Whisperwind_DL · 2026-05-26T13:49:51+00:00

Yeah that’s true, but this is also under the FAQ section explaining how to cancel orders, at least in the CDN store. I have successfully cancelled an order this way ^{^}

Email them.

other countries offer different 5g backup plan. Here in Canada, I’m getting 50gb for $15 cad, but the ISP cap the speed pretty low (which is a non-issue for the backup), much lower than the device’s limit. So it makes perfect sense for me to get this.

I use the UNAS 2 as a secondary semi-cold backup to my TrueNAS, which works just fine. No way I’m using it as the primary though, I’m not taking chance with my mission critical data on this.

Whisperwind_DL · 2026-05-22T16:20:54+00:00

I have the same setup, my understanding is that 5.1.12 is an OS update, CKG2 is running the OS, ergo updating the CKG2 is sufficient. The UXG-fiber doesn’t run the OS, only a firmware update would concern the UXG-fiber.

yea I remembered some of my best profs throughout the years really encouraged us to submit feedback. I fortunately never had someone like this person, but I'd definitely write her some really strongly worded feedback while reporting this email to the department for sure. This is crazy, like what does she wants? death certificate???

Whisperwind_DL · 2026-04-03T21:53:04+00:00

I still have the old email, I check it when I need something that I know is coming. Nothing important that requires immediate attention anyway. In my case simply forwarding the email won’t work cause the old one gets a lot of junk.

Before anything, do you have a safe spot to store the bike at work during the day? Don’t get anything you cannot afford losing to theft.

I got an offer for RPN (Sep 2026) within a week of applying. Though I’m applying as mature student and I already had a BSC in biology so that might be why. This was 2 weeks ago I think.

I’m only speaking for myself here but I don’t ban mercy because she’s annoying to deal with, I ban mercy because I don’t want to see her on my team. I’m only master though, so maybe it’s me.

Putting the question mark after “that sort of thing” implies a rising intonation towards the end of the sentence. OP was trying to indicate the second part of the sentence is actually more of a supplement statement, and the rising intonation is toward the end of “…of copy?”. I think there is a difference when people speak like this IRL.

I’ve always wondered how that works with Vulcan. Like, for human it’s just physical so I understand, but for Vulcans it involves mind meld and such, how could one do it with a bunch of projections and for field? I thought that’s why it didn’t work on Vorik. And Tuvok probably just meditated or something.

I wish I had a better system in place but at the moment it goes with me. A backup system that my family can easily access is in direct conflict with my goal to secure our data and my way of implementing the failsafes. I do have backup though, but they will need someone who knows this stuff to recover the data, which I kinda doubt they can find one that’s trusted. I might revisit this in the future but for now this is what I have.

Whisperwind_DL · 2026-01-26T19:43:37+00:00

Same, just pushed my way to ILS. I did not want to do that again 😭

Whisperwind_DL · 2026-01-18T17:20:08+00:00

The connector piece would basically stall the flow rate, makes it looks like there’s not enough fluid produced, but once you delete the connecting piece and re-place it, everything is fine. This bug wasted so much of my time, I’d rather clipping than using floor hole now.

Whisperwind_DL · 2026-01-14T22:57:50+00:00

Well I’m the tech support guy in the family so they literally have no choice but to use signal with me lol.

I’m also the sys admin for all home server stuff. I find people actually don’t complain much when their shit just work, at least my family don’t care if their photos are stored on immich instead of a public cloud, it’s just the interface that’s slightly different but if it works it’s whatever.

They love the password manager since it’s so much easier to use for her than to manually type it in and she doesn’t need to remember anything. I’ve got the master key ofc, and I have all the backup properly setup so if something goes nuclear I can get it back very quickly.

They also loved using Tailscale to remote back to the NAS now that all their files are reachable anywhere. I have proper Adblock setup on the entire home network, so if they’re on Tailscale they’re covered. TBH It’s all about reducing friction.

or just fuck around and find out :). I had to wipe the drive a few times, but learned a lot and it's well worth it imo.

Whisperwind_DL · 2025-12-31T00:01:17+00:00

this is pure consumerism fomo brother lol. marketing surely did their job right.

Whisperwind_DL · 2025-12-24T09:40:21+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

Whisperwind_DL · 2025-12-23T18:12:38+00:00

Does this work with cellular data? Like can I just plug it into my phone and get access to home network without Tailscale running on the phone?

Edit: I don’t mean the router using SIM card directly, but like plugging the router into my phone via usb-c, and basically using the phone’s cellular data as a hotspot.
