I had that problem with 1803. I was able to get the upgrade to finally work after I uninstalled the DisplayLink driver and a Splashtop app (for using an Android device as an additional monitor) and then it finally worked. I don't know

For the G3/AFs, you feed the wire into the mount, which is tight especially if you're not aiming straight ahead (which I assume few people are doing). The Flex gives you more leeway, but because the cameras are inexpensive, the

It might be worth mentioning that CCA (copper clad aluminum) cable which is sometimes sold with misleading descriptions in places like eBay and Amazon, is not the same as solid copper and should be avoided for power over ethernet applicatio

I just finished installing the G3AFs (outside) and G3 Flexes (inside) at my house, and I crimped the outside ends. For my outdoor cameras, I used outdoor rated cat6 solid. It's a little harder to work with, and I had to buy a spool of

I think this depends on which crimper you use. I used a cheapo crimper from China I bought off Amazon (I wasn't doing enough terminations to justify Platinum Tools' top of the line crimper which cost more than 2x what I paid) and

IIRC, depending on your use case, you don't need the controller running 24-7. Before I got deeper in the Unifi ecosystem, I just ran the controller on Windows when I needed to (when I only ran 2 APs -- in that case, you only needed an

That's not happening any time soon. The gen2 cloud keys don't do that, although the gen2 plus model merges the cloud key and NVR appliance into one device.

The new (but not widely available) Cloud Key Gen 2+ model is much more stable. It also has a battery so it can gracefully shut down mongodb after 10 seconds of no power. The + model replaces the cloud key and nvr. There is a non-plus model

From what I understand, some features on the USG aren't available unless you manipulate some JSON files, whereas they're exposed in the UI in the Edge Routers.

While it doesn't really matter whether you use EIA-586-B or EIA-586-A so long as you're consistent, I've been told that EIA-586-A is the standard in Canada. addendum: Re crimping RJ45 - the better way to do terminations is to

I think it depends on the use case. I set up extra SSIDs for specific bands on my Unifi equipment to force some wifi gear (IP cams that have since been retired) to always connect to the closest AP.

uMatrix, while having a bit of a dense UI, is what I prefer as well. I installed a pi-hole in my home network about a week ago, and it survived less than a week. My wife likes using sites like eBates when she shops online, and it redirects

I have Alexa commands that will light up the group of lights I need to get from my front door to the kitchen. Also, I have dogs that would probably find a way to turn the lights on when I don't want them to.

Right now, we have partially addressed this with security cameras that can see the stove and some locks.

We do the checklist thing, and I find it helps to say stuff out loud while you're going through it. Fortunately, our range is a "dual fuel" stove, which means the oven is electric but the stove burners are gas. Having said th

Can't it be done with something like Z-wave with a hub that isn't exposed to the Internet? You could use a VPN to connect to the home network to control devices when you have to.

The % is probably similar for Canada too. I don't know anyone who doesn't have one.

I'm with you on that, but what I would want is the ability to know is the status of my oven. My wife and I are always (excessively) concerned with whether we left our gas stove on/off, the doors are locked and that the garage do

There's always Z-wave, which is way more modern than X10. I started with Wemo because I thought I didn't want to deal with a hub, and in retrospect, that was a mistake. Z-wave is faster and easier to set up and maintain than wifi&

Just as bad - the ones that enforce an uppercase, lowercase, number and special character. Except that they don't tell you that when they mean "special character", they don't mean all of them, and don't tell you whi

I think there are two ways of looking at this. From the top down (strategic), and from the bottom up (tactical). Depending on your perspective, you will likely fixate on different things. If you're starting from the bottom, you'll

At some point, didn't IBM move Domino to a DB2 back end? I would think moving data off of an RDBMS like DB2 would be easier than the legacy Domino engine. I remember there being an Notes-ODBC driver, but I don't remember if it was
