HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2024
- In the first video of two on the new UniFi Cloud Key Gen 2 Plus we'll look at the hardware and upgrade it. Rocking 3GB of RAM and a 1TB spinning drive this is the best Cloud Key to date! Then we'll find out if it has a battery built into it like the other CK Gen 2. In the next video we'll migrate our site from a Gen 1 key to our Gen 2 key and they take an indepth look at UniFi Protect!

Again, Willie I’m glad you did this video. I been thinking about getting one since their only a few more dollars than the UniFi Cloud Key Gen 2 for a small home video surveillance network just didn’t know if I was going to like the new Protect software. I also forgot to thank you for a video a little while back when you told everyone that the Unifi G3- Flex ceiling mounts came out I immediately bought 30. After seeing yours and Chris’s (Crosstalk Solutions) videos on Ubiquiti products I’ve completely bought into the ecosystem and have been completely happy ever since. I rarely comment on videos, but I wanted to take the time and thank you.
I keep coming back because you keep saying you appreciate me. I appreciate the Ubiquit info. You and another ubiquiti knowledgelord keep me happy and learning a lot (from little) Thanks.
I have been looking everywhere for a specific how to for Gen 1 to cloud key gen 2. The sooner the better on that as one is currently not public. Thank you! GREAT VIDEO!
I'm glad you did this video.
Yesterday I got mine, one of the first in Belgium, i'ts a amazing little piece of hardware.
Facial hair looking great dude!!
I have the Gen 2 and Gen 2 plus I love it ....It kind on reminds me of nest interface the only thing i dont like is push doesnt work well only for emails right now but other than that its fast....
I’ve been hoping you would do a video on one of these for a while and it didn’t disappoint.
The first Unifi 16/150 was in the end, .. defective.. as soon as the temp hit 55 it restarted POE, the replacement does work fine now
You know you're an engineer when you use the nettool for measuring 😂
I purchased one the other week and it replaced the CK V1 and the NVR. The performance in comparison is like chalk and cheese. I am surprised the did not implement UNMS as well... One box to rule them all.
Yes !!! Seen what I asked, I want such a baby ;-) But looking forward to see part 2, Tnx Will. I wait to order till they have the 19 inch rachmount here. You have a Belgium fan.
Does this mean we will be able to install the video controller software on the Raspberry Pi that also has an ARM processor?
Cool video man. I’d say too much time on the actual size of the product. But thanks for showing it
Nice video Willie. In your next video can you also add an external drive and see what the experience is like for archiving videos and playing back archived videos. This world probably be the approach most consumers would take for adding storage.
@@WillieHowe Oh that would make testing that a challenge. Not even a USB-C to standard USB cable you could swap out and use with an older USB connected drive?
Hola una consulta el cable de red que va del switch al Cloud Key es cable Directo o cruzado?
You use 48v Poe ou Power 9V? My cloud key gen2 plus is 50 temperature.
Can you storge video fil on NAS ? If a get a Gen2 key and not one with the drive ?
Nice video! Can’t wait for part 2... since it’s the only way for an European to get see one...
Exploited89 same here in South Africa. Not here yet.
What kind of HDD does this have?
What would be the advantage of this over a virtual machine?
If you've got a 1 gig internet connection, are these still worth getting if you're not using protect? They're about the same price as the non plus version. Or just save more and get the UDM pro?
If these are still a good product, what router to pair it with?
The founder of Ubiquity used to work at Apple. Hence the Apple-esque look and feel.
Quite appropriate timing, my original cloud key just died over night!
FatChance147 the timing is insane. I was about to press buy on the cloud key gen2 plus.
@@AvocadoAtrocity I was able to get my original v1 one up and running, but went ahead and purchased the new one. I look at it as a sign. I mean come on, first mine breaks down, then Willie puts out a video minutes later.... I mean come on you would have to be blind not see what I am supposed to do.
I wanted to buy the NVR and the cloud key. Now I can buy 1 product.
Everywhere is sold out, but I just bought one and have it on order.
I have a client with 9 acres. Multiple generations of UBNT equipment. Point to multipoint transmitter and receivers, G-2 cameras and added in a new mesh pro AC AP. I choose this device because the hard drive failed on the original controller for the cameras. When I plugged in the new GEN 2+ it was constantly pulling the cameras so I was not able to login to the static IP‘s of the cameras (mismatched credentials). Due to the constant attempts to login to the cameras from Prptect, the cameras replied that I had to wait five minutes to try again because of too many failed attempts to log in. Trick: I shut down to protect function and was able to get to the APs of the cameras, reset them to factory default, then turn on protect again. Protect found all 10 cameras on the site and adopted them. Meanwhile, unify SDN adopted the AP AC mesh pro and all devices showed appeared in the UI; my point to point transmitter, all my receivers, all my camera Mac addresses, and all of the ethernet connected devices on the network. This device is a jewel!
Both the unify Protech in the unify SDN apps work wonderfully. The area that needs a little improvement is allowing anyone other than the super administrator to be able to view the live feed from the cameras. There is a process, however, it’s not totally straightforward and hopefully will be fixed in the next update .
The super admin has to invite others to be able to view the cameras and have them show up in the unify protect app. However, as of this writing only admin rights are assigned. Unify needs to be able to add view only writes so that folks can view without being able to change any settings.
Overall, this devise exceeded my expectations! Especially, putting in a 5 TB hard drive was a simple as opening up the case taking out the old drive putting in the new 5 TB drive and it automatically format it and set it up to start recording; just fantastic.
One no power in this device. If you don’t have a POE switch the combination of USB power options is a hit or miss
Another cork that may be bothersome is that you cannot set a static IP for the cameras in this software version
Cool
I have a 10 camera system install coming up. I was planning on using the 2 TB NVR. You think this could be faster / better or NVR more powerful?
HisLoveArmy keep mind protect is still not as full featured as UV so I wouldn't say its a good idea for production just yet but it is looking promising
Could you please tell us something about the switch 16 150W overheating problem?, loosing POE every 5 minutes.
are you running a high cpu load? I haven't had any problems with mine (though i know it runs hot) its been in place for about 2 years now.
I'm seeing some conflicting info about drive size. Is it a standard 2.5 inch drive? Or must it be 7mm? I'm seeing people doing either, would like to hear from you!
It will take the larger height 2.5" drives, so you can easily expand up to at least 5Tb with currently available drives
I hope you or someone could assist. I am currently setup with a USG Pro 4, 24 port POE+ Switch, and 2 AP’s. I am currently on internal network 192.168.55.x, and would like to confidently and safely move everything including servers. My issue is statically set IPs on AP’s and HPE servers and such which can change to DHCP except for the Cloud Key.....
I would plug the main device in that has your active DHCP and DNS I am assuming its the USG Pro then configure the static IP's outside the pool range. Once everthing looks good and you double checked the settings. Go ahead and bring the other devices online and if all goes well then the devices and clients will pull from DHCP that are set too. You will need to update the servers with the new info and use the new cloud key to configure the AP's. Hope this helps. :)

Sir u 6 lr 10 pcs 1 controller install speed not up down stream 140 up streem 130
meanwhile, i am still here waiting for the "UniFi Small Business Setup Part 2" video :(
i have a question for anyone who might wanna share some advice.
i have two buildings which i want to connect using nanobeams 5AC gen2
i want to have one controller, two USG (one in each building because each building has it's own internet connection) and two unifi switches.
i want each usg to act as a dhcp for the building it is in and of course i need both buildings to share networks but on different vlans.
bonus question... is it possible for the two USGs to share their WANs so..... if internet goes down on building ONE, my devices will still be able to access the internet through WAN connection of building TWO as a failover? (through the nanobeams)
thank you
@@WillieHowe I would like to see a speed comparison. Especially for the provisioning, because this is the most annoying thing on the Gen 1 in my opinion. BTW Awesome Videos!!!
How did u get it for free? Or are you sponsored?
You had me wondering, you said 2TB at least twice
Is there any reason to buy the standard Gen 2 over the Gen 2+?
I'm not interested in UniFi Protect, but the Gen 2+ have 1GB more memory then the standard model.
Ronny Olsson I have the same question. I bought the gen2 not the plus but I’ve not opened it yet.
@@TheSwampDaddy There is almost no price difference, so I would be buying the Gen 2+ for every client. The new rack mount bracket is very good too. Looks totally professional and you don't have to worry about the Cloud Key not being stable or having to buy an extra shelf.
i will too....
but in germany is not to buy
It still cuts the poe power once a day
Can I replace this hard drive with SSD disk?
I could be wrong but I've heard you don't want an SSD for an NVR
@@DcRider05 On this device disk is only for NVR or could I use it for other stuff like simply server for backup copy?
@@Zabuzek NVR and system configuration files only.
@@taylorlightfoot ty :)
What is the 1TB storage for?
Why on earth a HD and not an SSD?????
I would assume for security videos?
Yes video surveillance. Unifi sdn is stored on 32GB of flash memory.
Its hard to find a good channel where the person is brief and gets to the point. Love the content, but please, get to the point and stop the chit-chat. thx
Why didn't they just use a SSD of some type instead of a spinny drive?
Cost. a 1TB SSD would make the price point for this device too high. If you want an SSD, buy the device and swap the drive out for a 2.5 form factor SSD.
@@taylorlightfootYou are already spending $300 for this. A 1TB SSD is $140-150.
cobra460 No. It costs 199$ USD. They would make no profit selling it at that price if it was SSD.
As a network nerd, please don't spend nearly five minutes on the boxing... features and comparison to the current unifi video system should be the primary focus..
🤢😭
I like your videos but you just spent nearly 8 minutes unboxing and comparing the look/size. Get to the good stuff faster 👍🏼
Before you do A video on something , you should really do research on the specs .. you have said A few things wrong many times. its A 8core and 1tb HDD. Sorry but whats the point of the video if you are going to get the specs wrong from the start.
