Great series! I look forward to more videos from you. You have the best Unifi videos on the web, believe me I have been through many. Side note, you inspired me to completely overhaul my 10 year old house with all new CAT 6 cables several month ago. It is all done and I love the Unifi ecosystem.
Wow. I’m extremely humbled by your comment. I truly enjoy making these videos and am so glad you have found them helpful. I bet that home wiring project took some work, so congrats.
Great series. Learned a lot from this series. Do you get the same camera UI and ability to alter settings for third party cameras (eg Hikvision) or is this solely for unifi cameras? Looking at getting a UDM SE but possibly not unifi cameras
The new ONVIF technology is very new with Unifi and I honestly don't know the answer to your question. I just haven't played with it yet. I would hope that you can use the UI for some things, but those cameras don't get adopted into the system so I can't see how you would be able to use the UI to control them... I think they just show up somehow... I'm sorry I can't answer that.
@@ethernetblueprint possibly will be something to come down the line. Thanks for the reply though, I’ll probably go with the Unifi ecosystem to have that control. I feel the tech would be slightly wasted if I couldn’t have full access to settings. Loving the content too, it’s really helped me plan my future system and no doubt when I get it your videos will be invaluable
Hi and big thanks to this great searies of Unifi videos. I would like to ask you to add an other topic (to this series or as a separat video. Maybe you can show, how to send a wake on lan signal from a device in one VLAN to a device in an other vlan or in general how to use WOL over VLAN borders. That would be great - thanks
I just setup my cameras this past weekend, I need to figure out the feature that shows you placement of other cameras while your viewing 1 camera on the screen. I hope I explained myself correctly 😂.
You don't lose your recordings, but they don't have it where you can import the videos into the new system. It's still got some room to grow, but they're making really strong improvements with each release, so I'm optimistic that they'll get this ironed out in a future release.
Very insightful video. With protect can you search for motion events? On my Synology I can for example highlight an object and then it will search all the footage to see when that object got removed. Also, is there a Timelapse feature? Thanks!
I don't see a way to search... just filter and narrow down the results. No Timelapse natively, but I read that you can create them with exported footage.
Hi Tim thanks for the great series! I can't remember where you said this, but if I get a G4 instant camera I won't be able to connect it to my camera network (VLAN 3)? Is that right? It's only able to connect to the default network, or is there a way to get it on the camera network? Thank you
You can absolutely connect it to VLAN 3. But you have to be careful with your firewall rules so you don’t block the camera from talking to the NVR. Will the G4 is Wi-Fi so you’ll need a wifi network for the cameras on VLAN 3 too.
@@ethernetblueprint I have my firewall rules setup exactly as you go over in your unifi for newbies series. So all I need to do now is add a wifi network for the camera network?
Yes, if you want it on the camera network, you would need to add a wifi network for the camera to use and connect it to VLAN 3.... You will still be able to connect to the camera and see it....

Thanks so much. What are you trying to WOL? Like a server?
Yes, one thing to WOL is a Synology NAS
I will have to figure this out before doing a video on it... Good suggestion!
Fantastic video
I just setup my cameras this past weekend, I need to figure out the feature that shows you placement of other cameras while your viewing 1 camera on the screen. I hope I explained myself correctly 😂.
Yeah... That may require a little bit of back and forth or using a second device to view other cameras while you adjust the one your are installing...

Thats a good callout... and like you, I am also seeing improvements. Thanks for the comment.

@@ethernetblueprint how would i switch it to the camera network since it automatically gets a default network IP?
Yes, if you want it on the camera network, you would need to add a wifi network for the camera to use and connect it to VLAN 3.... You will still be able to connect to the camera and see it....
On VLAN 3, it would pull and IP from that network... not the default anymore.
Are you logged in with your unifi account for remote acces to receive push notifications?
Yes, the app is logged into the my Unifi Cloud account which allows for notifications....
Does your phone need to be on the same network as the nvr to view the videos through the app? Iow can I look at the cameras when I’m away from home?
No...It just needs to have internet access. So yes, you can look on your way home (just be careful while driving) ;)
Remote viewing works and it uses a reduced bitrate unless you switch it to HQ for the live view
