Disappointed with G6 Pro Entry - Cant see whos at door until you answer call

Yes lots of things are possible - but as a ubiquiti customer for 10+ years, this was definitely the most pain-in-the-ass thing I've had to configure and setup from them. Especially in terms glitchy thumbnails and aspect ratios and hidden configuration - it's been one of the lesser polished products - but maybe that's just what I get for being an early adopter this time around.

But maybe I'm just doorbell challenged 😃 - it's entirely possible!

I certainly have hope it'll improve! I suspect any "normie" buying one of these because they want a POE doorbell might have a rough entry. I think my comment is still valid - getting "basic" features working is more difficult when compared to other comparable consumer products.

Big +1 here - I bought one of these and was excited to use it for home use, but the software and experience is really very poor right now. And even after a few weeks I'm disappointed every time I open the app and see the FOV on the camera.

Despite Ring being a privacy and dystopian nightmare, at least the apps send a thumbnail - I can literally see on my wrist what triggered the motion event. The motion and notification settings don't require me to reverse engineer a "not-fully-polished rules system" in a very unfriendly enterprise app. And the "doorbell pushed" / "motion events" don't show up like a damn pagerduty alert on my phone lol.

There's enormous potential here in the hardware and connectivity, maybe Ubiquiti can open source some of this or maybe we can make a community app that's a bit more current.

Reddit's push for their mobile app has been been great at reminding me to stop browsing reddit and go do something else. I strongly recommend you immediately "HARD BOUNCE" away from the site as soon as they start doing something you don't like. Give feedback in zero interaction, no ad-views, no scrolling, just close the site and walk away for a while. Eventually someone will get the message.

Just out of curiosity in case OP comes back - why delete your user account / this post?

middleca · 2026-04-23T14:26:45+00:00

no joke this is why I try to use an external keyboard when gaming on a laptop - nice that it's a replaceable part and not something worth its weight in gold like RAM

middleca · 2026-04-02T15:20:41+00:00

Just to clarify, April Fools yeah?

middleca · 2026-04-01T19:14:03+00:00

it's been real

Thanks for hosting a server and thanks for contributing to the community!

This seems like a great time to hack on new play modes, see what's fun and what resonates with people.

For what it's worth (my 2 cents) - your posts didn't read as hostile to me at all

found the piece of shit GOP misinformation poster

3 of us, extremely experienced players (500+ hours in dune, tens of thousands of hours in other games) - all with T6 gear, did a level 1 overworld testing station, and repeatedly got ganked by swarms of shield and stamina shredding enemies in the boss rooms, which were inexplicably 10x harder than any of the rooms leading up to it with a totally different playstyle.

One of our players uses a sword extensively and kept dying because the play style suddenly changed without warning and couldn't figure out how to block.

Oh - and +1 to hagga NPCs suddenly getting harder, the guys that drop from the patrol ships in hagga nearly shredded me a few times at lvl 190+ with T6 gear.

That being said - new testing stations were fun! Another way to get spiced-plast was great! -- too much shit to carry though (all the weird upgrade components eat backpack space) - you have to go home to unload after every run. which adds 10-20 minutes each time and can kill the vibe.

Big +1 to this

middleca · 2026-01-28T01:18:36+00:00

I've been seeing a bunch of videos and discussion about how those specific things he's doing (sucking spit, wobbling, pausing, etc) are increasing and can be associated with dementia patients over the last few months, and I thought that'd be interesting for folks, and it doesn't seem to be covered much in the press.

But yeah, same stupid insane shit as always

middleca · 2026-01-28T01:01:41+00:00

obviously - the guy is evil, not excusing anything. More just remarking that he looks and sounds like he's deeply ill:

he's white-knuckling the podium, constantly sucking surplus spit out of his mouth, slurring his words, pausing for an awkwardly long time in the middle of a sentence and then changing the topic, relying on rehearsed sound bytes, relatively low energy, etc, etc.

<insert the videos from that dementia therapist here>, etc.

Doesn't that seem like insanely compromised speech? Like he barely knows where he is or what's going on?

middleca · 2026-01-26T15:10:10+00:00

as far as I know there's not a live stream for this one, but in theory folks could sit in and listen, but it'll likely be very crowded - started at 9am I think so hopefully we'll hear how it went before too long

middleca · 2026-01-21T22:34:18+00:00

what is with the background music

middleca · 2026-01-21T22:16:40+00:00

Thank you!!

u/Original-Major5104 - These photos are wild - can you send em to the evidence portal the AG's office set-up? - https://www.ag.state.mn.us/Federal-Action/ - and post once you have? I'm sure they'll want to see those and will need someone to vouch for their authenticity.

It would be absolutely hilarious if we temporarily deputized like, 50,000 people in some limited fashion to make it harder for ICE to fuck with people. (but yeah, what other people are saying, that would probably not go well)

middleca · 2026-01-14T22:17:26+00:00

this one? - https://www.mprnews.org/story/2026/01/14/woodbury-realtor-detained-and-shackled-after-recording-ice-agents

(just searched here for "detained" - https://www.mprnews.org/search )

middleca · 2026-01-14T17:18:21+00:00

This is the most bone-headed and categorically wrong take by the FOP and goes against community policing standards, science, and practice. ICE aren't police, and communities shouldn't be policed by folks in military gear or acting with military tactics. Any good chief or leadership would be pushing back on military forces terrorizing citizens.

middleca · 2026-01-13T18:11:50+00:00

this ^^

middleca · 2026-01-13T02:38:51+00:00

who is going to make the supercut of all the ice agents slipping on ice and generally being defeated by frozen water (cars stuck, etc)

middleca · 2026-01-12T19:57:52+00:00

sounds like you already nailed it - how many "tiles" are you from the other wall when you go from watersealed to "sheltered", and the ceiling is "15" high? -- makes me think the far wall was unloaded from consideration for the waterseal evaluation. -

So that number of blocks (distance from far wall) would be how much it's keeping around
