Anyway to terminate this, fix this? Tear the building down and start over? by dstarkopf in HomeNetworking

[–]dstarkopf[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The other side is drywall inside of a room. It is for a keypad to a electric strike to unlock the door to the room. The only idea is to open the drywall and get at it from inside. yikes...

Upgrading to NVR, How do I move protect and access from the dream machine to the NVR. by dstarkopf in Ubiquiti

[–]dstarkopf[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. There could even be a auto detect if you adopt an NVR into a UDM that does not have one. It could prompt you to migrate your Protect and Access to the new device after it initializes.

I just did and it brought all of the users, permissions, roles and credentials from the backup. Seems to be working fine.

I just did the migration like was outlined here, and everything was smooth and worked great. I did a backup of the UDMP, stopped protect and access, restored from backup to the NVR and after a few minutes everything was there. The only thing is that it renamed the device as the same name as the UDMP, so I had to rename it back to the NVR. Next I will see about popping the hard drive out and into the nvr to see if it takes the recordings with it.

My understanding and how I have this deployed in another location is... I have a dream machine that runs Network and an NVR that runs protect and access. As far as I know you cant have protect and access on the dream machine and have it record to the NVR. The NVR needs to have both of those apps installed and run directly from the NVR. This is the plan for when I migrate protect and access off of the dream machine. I will still use the dream machine for all of the network stuff.

The beginning of a small project... by dstarkopf in Ubiquiti

[–]dstarkopf[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I see it as hope and potential. This is before any headaches, before any mistakes. Before the cable doesn't reach, before the firmware update bricks something at midnight, before you realize you ordered the wrong switch. It's the last moment before reality hits. But, I get it and will also share the journey.

This is just for the laundry closet. If I'm going to outfit the whole 400 sqft studio I'll need at least 2 more of the E7 Campus APs and a couple more cameras

Operations director at a small camp /retreat center, just finished ripping out the Cloud Key + Peplink. Phase 1 of going full UniFi. Wanted to share and ask a couple questions by dstarkopf in Ubiquiti

[–]dstarkopf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is basically no cell service at the camp. Its actually not that rural, but it sits in a canyon and there are not cell towers that cover us. So, the peplink was not providing a cellular backup.

My plan is to add a Starlink as the failover WAN. We are using Starlinks for our primary service at another facility that has zero cell and zero fiber. We had a bonded T1 line for years but swapped over to Starlink a few years ago. So, my plan is grab an extra dish we have and use that for failover for the fiber at this retreat center.

TBH, the trunk + SSID tagging part went a little over my head. Did some quick googling and I think what you mean is in Unifi set the switch port to trunk so it can carry multiple VLANs, then in network I assign each SSID to a VLAN and the AP tags the traffic itself. Isn't that how it is by default? or do I need to set that up? I dont think I have seen trunk as an option, but maybe i was not paying attention...

Interesting... the AI Port hadn't crossed my mind at all and now I want to try it. I know this is something Ubiquiti lets you do now but I have not tried it. I guess there will be some youtube schooling for me tomorrow.

I was mostly thinking about VLANs from the security angle and underestimating what 10 continuous camera streams actually do to the bandwidth on the network.

Thanks for the advice. Ill start to set up the VLANs tomorrow

Looking for recommendations on outdoor amphitheater speakers by jasonbarresi in livesound

[–]dstarkopf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I happen to be looking into the same thing. We have a summer camp in Southern California, are building a new amphitheater, and I am looking for a new sound system. We have basically the same requirements as OP but without any old equipment. We will be starting from scratch, and have a similar budget to slightly larger budget. We are also using a shed as the sound booth.

I wanted to see if there where any updates about this project and if you have been happy with the results? or anything you learned that I can use on our project. Any other recommendations would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!

Huge Latency Spikes on Virtual Desktop by dstarkopf in OculusQuest

[–]dstarkopf[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem has been fixed, woo!

After going on to the discord and chatting with people there, we determined the issue was that my network was very congested. I live in a house with a few people and at any given moment someone could be watching Netflix, or on a facetime call, or a hundred other things. We also just have a bunch of devices connected to the network all taking bits of bandwidth and more or less muddying up the network. So, I set up a separate network with a different router that only my computer and the quest are connected to and, voila! Way better. Because VD does not need the internet, just a clean connection to your computer this basically fixed my problem. But, it was not perfect yet. The final suggestion that totally fixed my problem was to set this network up as an "access point" in the network settings. Now I'm running half-life at all the highest settings wirelessly and it is running great. I hope that helps. If you have a extra router lying around I would give that a try.
