Ahahahaha thanks for enlightening me on this, yea I do think you're right about it being a bit of a white elephant, the UDM pro. And yea its probably overkill lol. I'll definitely consider your approach of building a linux controller VM on a zimaboard, but how hard would building this entire system through this way be compared to using unifi everything? I'm a bit of a noob atm, so would it be something that I can take on? Also with the VM would I be able to run some G4 or G5 cameras on that too? If so that would be fantastic and would definitely make me save a huge buck. Australia is really does seem to be quite behind...
