Cisco has 20k$ Gateways with Gigabit.

Many people do not use the built-in switch because it only has a gigabit link to the 10g ports I have only seen two set ups where they do use the built-in switch in reality. It is not used that much spending the money to put 2.5 and would only be worth it for the smallest market of the product

@@_jabe lmao

Companies who will use this already will have "dedicated" switches, honestly WAY overkill for a small business or home environment. Look at who your audience is for these devices and that should tell you the reason.

Ubiquiti is basically run by former Apple engineers, so ...

@@Felix-ve9hs Yeah I know but it's still funny how they are copying Apple in some ways.

The built-in NVR is good enough for many situations as a lot of places you would have a couple of cameras on the outside of the building

I don’t think it would make that much sense because how you would have to get a POE switch to run cameras and access points so this is clearly not an all in one device anymore

What is the point of 2.5, just consumer marketing.

@@user-nw8jd1xy9q especially in cases of future proofing, it’s needed but it’s good for the additional bandwidth if you’re transferring lots of files

why PoE on UDM ?? I don't understand.. you should connect PoE switch. does really router and firewall must to have PoE ?? please explain me my confusing...

Well, an enterprise situation you’re going to need a switch as well so why waste the money on adding it to this?

Don't get me wrong, a higher speed uplink from the internal switch or 2.5gbit LAN ports would be nice, but I imagine that this was all considered by Ubiquiti when designing the product but was deemed not to be worth the additional cost based on the target market. Realistically this device is aimed more towards large scale networks that are going to need significantly more than 8 ports. While 2.5gbit LAN ports would be nice for sure, I imagine the subset of customers who have multi-gig WAN connections but don't have a requirement for additional switches is somewhat small. Of course there's also the option of having the integrated gigabit switch uplinked to the CPU at a higher speed while maintaining the gigabit downstream ports, but then you're still only really targeting people who have a multi-gig connection and are happy with only being able to get a maximum of 1gbps on each individual device. Also, with the way that these are architected internally, you wouldn't really want to have a file server on one of the SFP+ ports and then your clients on the internal switch ports as all of that traffic then needs to be forwarded by the CPU which isn't ideal irrespective of the speed of the link between the switch chip and the CPU. Of course the CPU is no slouch but in that sort of setup you really should be using a dedicated switch so that all of the traffic is being handled by a switch ASIC. My comments around it being "absolutely fine" was more in reference to when the UDMs first came out and there was a complete mess of people misunderstanding the architecture and incorrectly referring to the integrated switch as having "1 gigabit of switching capacity" and then essentially saying that it should never be used. I was basically meaning that the integrated ports are "absolutely fine to use" as long as you're aware that it's uplinked to the CPU at gigabit.

These devices are not designed to operate just by themselves are meant to be part of a bigger ecosystem and the expensive price tag is because you’re going to be spending a lot anyway

I can buy these locking power cables anywhere I believe it’s just a different type

UniFi have a capacity calculator here: ui.com/cloud-gateways/resource-calculator. It only shows the regular UDM Pro/SE for now so the Pro Max would either be the same or slightly higher when it comes to camera capacity. In terms of storage, larger drives won't let you run more cameras - they'll just give you longer recording times. If you're needing serious camera capacity then you'd probably still need to go for a dedicated NVR, but a UDM should be more than enough for an average home/small business camera setup.

I'll probably end up hanging onto these for the foreseeable so that I can use them to test other UniFi features/products (I have a second for testing high availability, video coming soon.) However, on the install front, can't say too much right now since stuff is still very much up in the air but if all goes to plan there should be an absolute tonne of install content coming up over the summer!

What is this issue?

and the Unifi Dream Machine Studio

Have usage in smaller businesses where they want a couple of cameras routing and firewall and several network drops around the building because it’s very easy to set up so they don’t need to hire an expert

You need to buy it from a reseller that is in the UK otherwise they will ship it from Europe to a re-shipping warehouse

It doesn’t make sense to have Poe because if you want a higher reliability for security cameras, it would make sense to get a switch and have a spare one so it can be swapped out very quickly if there’s ever a fault

If anything it's a good sign where they'll continue to work with channels that don't exclusively fanboy over their gear. I still really like UniFi stuff and regularly recommend and install it, I just wanted to try something different for home to ensure I was being balanced and trying out other options on the market rather than focussing almost exclusively on UniFi like a lot of other channels do.

They reached out to KZfaq users to offer them to review, but associated a press embargo with them. Many tech KZfaqrs would then upload their videos as private videos and schedule them for the 'on embargo until…' date instead of applying a time offset.

Not sure what removing the HDD bays would do? They're required if you want to use it as an NVR with UniFi Protect.

@@camerongray1515 Removed the POE because it's professional grade hardware, where there will be dedicated POE switch. Well, in a professional environment, there will be a dedicated NVR anyway then. So why not offset the cost and upgrade the CPU. Overclocking a CPU doesn't really bring much to the table.

@@RexinOridle not always there are many situations where you would only have two or three cameras

I have another and will be releasing a dedicated video on Automatic Shadow Mode shortly 😉. I was just very tight for time over the weekend so had to keep this one short!

@@camerongray1515 cool!

Most of the things people want are not an out operated CPU

They have two main product lines there edge range is perfectly ok

You quite simply cannot buy the special ports in the configuration here

That’s completely pointless as the uplink from the switch is only gigabit and you would likely want to do some special high availability switching for a proper network which this couldn’t support so it doesn’t seem worth it to add it on

so fix the uplink also?

@@barhomt that’s likely going to result in a much higher cost as they will have to design their own chips which will cost them millions which will be passed onto the end user at more cost than using a separate switch as well

Deployments of any reasonable size will have dedicated switches which will also handle PoE whereas the dual drive bays would be useful for environments where they want to run Protect on the UDM but also want RAID. The PoE on the SE is great but only really a selling point for small environments where 8 PoE ports is enough, this is targeting much larger deployments.

Presuming using two for high availability you wouldn’t use the ports anyway

I meant the UDM SE, didn't realise it didn't have "Pro" in the name, hardly the mistake of the century!

@@camerongray1515 Yep, hardly the mistake of the century, but a mistake nonetheless. Thanks for clarifying.

Everybody makes mistakes...

@@camerongray1515 Yes you do, but you still get paid.

@@camerongray1515 Yes you do.

This issue is redundant since you can change the speed of video playback

I literally watch Cameron’s videos primarily for the speed he talks. I can’t stand KZfaqrs who drag out every sentence to make their videos longer. I usually end up watching those on 2x playback speed.

@@rickwookie Well ok, you do you. My simple problem is that the content is pretty great. I usually have no problem at all watching series or movies in English as a non-native, but these videos here give me a really hard time. And please don't tell me I do not have to watch them. For the content I want to watch them, but it is really exhausting, I have to backtrack multiple times in every video and re-listen.

@@erazorCTFChange the playback speed to slower? Use the subtitle feature? Both?

@@rickwookie I think that Cameroon should speak slower,

@@travisash8180 you can change KZfaq settings so no matter what video was playing the talking speed is automatically adjusted

The best way to do that it’s too get a router that has gpon for the fiber
