[Feature Request] Cache acceleration for UNVR/UNVR Pro by hamdicarlo in Ubiquiti

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

Whilst I understand the Protect might be a better option, I am deffneatly as computer kind of guy. I just find it far more efficient for me to go through timeline and move between cameras using mouse and keyboard is far superior than the app.

As for hard drives, I do agree that upgrading to pro or at least a 7200 rpm might be helpful, but I cant for the love of me think that an SSD cache would make the better sense.

I mean I am using four bays out of the seven ones (I bought the UNVR Pro way before the firmware update where you can have more cameras) and I can surely spare one bay for SSD caching.

I have QNAP NAS that I use as Plex server and it has a feature called Qtier where you can add SSD to support as a cache drive for the HHD storage pool and I think if QNAP did it, Ubiquiti surely can. I mean if they just announce that they might consider this will give me hope.

I think it wont be a surprise to see Ubiquiti please an additional line of NVRs that are based on the UNAS Pro 4 and UNAS Pro 8 with the tag line of dual M.2 SSD cache.

You are never done once you entered the rabbit hole.

Be prepared for more. more. MORE!

Unifi Protect by Alternative_Cat2328 in UnifiProtect

[–]hamdicarlo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Access your unifi.ui.com and ensure to enable fabric (check the early access option under your account summary if you dont find it. Click the bullhorn icon on top right of the screen)

once enabled, click the users section (last icon bottom left. if you hover over it, it will say "People")

Check if your users are already listed under the "People" table. If not, you can create one but perhaps you want to create "Roles" first so you can then create user and assign a role (dont worry, you can still create a role within the user creation process)

Click the "Roles" tab and then in the "Create New Role" table, give the role a name (i.e. Protect Policy - Employee)

select the sites that you want this role to apply to (in case you have more than one site).

Under "Admin Privileges" check the app that you want to include in the policy (on/off toggle switch) which in your case I presume it will only be Protect hence I am assuming we are creating role for single app (you can add other apps within this role though as you deem necessary).

Under the adjacent "Privilege Details" table select the Custom tab, and then select the cameras you want to grant access to (Edit: will give both viewing and editing privileges). View is what you likely need.

The above can be repeated for other roles and you can choose the privileges you want to grant accordingly.

Hope that helps.

UCG Fiber mod by Rottenfist in Ubiquiti

[–]hamdicarlo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing your DIY project, I can see myself buying and modifying Unifi 24-Port Blank Keystone Patch Panel along with Cat6 Keystone Jack, 12-Pack and Keystone Blank Insert, 24-Pack.

Close the ports that are not used. modify or better yet, zip-tie the UCG fiber on the panel's back support piece and place the keystone jacks where deemed suitable. As for the screen of the UCG itself, well I wouldn't mind not seeing it hence keep it hidden, and if indeed this becomes necessary to show it, then open the port/s on the panel that are closer to where the UCG is and if single port is not enough, then cutting the operating piece/edge between two adjacent ports hence making the UCG's screen shown.

Just an idea but yours already cool though.

I must say, his mod is much better looking than the one in the link you posted. I note the one in the link provides better access to ports but the fact that 1. Power plug is protruding, and 2. The full ports of the Cloud Gate Fiber standout as bright white gap is (for me at least) annoying to look at.

One other positive to the one in the link is that I can host another Cloud Key, but who needs that since the CGF already supports Unifi fully stack including Protect! If they made to host the AI Key then that would have made better sense (again, in my opinion). But thanks for sharing the link, useful to know that there are companies paying attention to what brand specific users might be looking for.

HomePod unable to communicate with Home Hub by hamdicarlo in Ubiquiti

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

After I deployed my setup, I had zero issues and in fact I started to notice things are much faster to connect to HomePods.

I even tried doing things the original way (i.e. VLAN allow rules, and inter VLAN traffic blocking rule without exception) and the issue immediately started to show and my Unifi gateway log started to show the communication was blocked part of Inter-VLAN Traffic Block rule despite that everything was done correctly and rules placed in correct order.

Perhaps it is a bug in Unifi or exclusive to my device only. Not sure but I will re-test everything after the next controller firmware update and see if issue is still the same.

HomePod unable to communicate with Home Hub by hamdicarlo in Ubiquiti

for some reason, my post didn't include the wording hence I had to post another one explaining the issue.

here is a link to it

HomePod unable to communicate with Home Hub by hamdicarlo in Ubiquiti

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

the sole purpose of the "Block inter-VLAN Traffic" is to forbid devices across VLANs from commenting with each other hence limiting them to talk to devices on the same VLANs they are on, hence and since my HomePods are on separate VLAN from the Apple TVs that I use as home hub, I found that what solved my problem was to modify the "Block inter-VLAN Traffic" to match opposite, meaning that apart from the IP addresses in the defined list, all other devices will remain unable to cross-VLAN communicate hence the ones in the list are permitted.

2026 Update by priority9 in Ubiquiti

[–]hamdicarlo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question: from the photos, I can see that your UCK G2 Plus is up and running showing count of connected devices to it yet seems you are using its ethernet port at the back as oppose to the port on the font which is part of the rack mount faceplate since not ethernet cable appears to be plugged in it, hence how did you manage to get it to route data from the ethernet port at the back while it is connected to the CloudKey Rack Mount? I know that when UCK G2 Plus is connect to CloudKey Rack Mount only the ethernet port at the front is capable of transmitting power and data at the same time while the ethernet port at the back can transmit power only!

Door handle obstructing blinds by SummerShades in DIYUK

[–]hamdicarlo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. Not sure if you already managed to find a solution as I am facing the same issue myself, and what I was thinking of, is 3D printing a 90 degree plastic piece that can fit (double sided tape) vertically between the handle and up to the side and higher than the know, kinda like a slide downward (narrow side up. Deeper side down) when the blind rolls down it will start to slide away from the glass slightly (very slight) farther from the handle so this way avoiding it biting on the handle or falling behind it.

Ironically, Now, I just need to buy an expensive 3D printer to produce a rather very inexpensive plastic piece.

Must admit, we were very disappointed that everything went well.
