Network Rack For Structured Media Panels
Many homes built in the last ten years feature a structured media panel that acts as a termination point for the various communication cables that run throughout the house. Coaxial cables, ethernet, phone lines, etc. all route to this box. This means it's a logical location to place networking equipment like modems and switches. The problem is these panels are too narrow to fit standard 19 inch rack mount equipment. Enter the Tripp Lite Vertical SmartRack enclosure.

Unifi G4 Doorbell Stargazing
Переглядів 6644 роки тому
While scrubbing through the footage from my G4 Doorbell camera I noticed several objects moving through the sky. It turns out that it captured several stars and planets, which is impressive considering it's recording at 30fps so the shutter speed is quite short. Video is unmodified from the camera other than being played back at 40000x speed.

Make Your Own Lag Screw Tent Stakes

Building A Simple Desk In 2 Minutes
Переглядів 1,1 тис.4 роки тому
After several months of working off of a wobbly folding table it's time to build a new desk. I created a design that utilized the left-over lumber and finish I had from a previous project, so my final build cost was $0! The top is 3/4" plywood with solid edging strips, and the legs and crossmembers are all 1x3" pine lumber. A 1/8" roundover bit was used on all edges for comfort. The finish was ...
Unifi Augmented Reality
Переглядів 59 тис.4 роки тому
A quick demo of the Augmented Reality feature in the Unifi app. Available on Ubiquiti Gen2 switches.
exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for making this video, bummer you dont have more videos.
This is exactly the DIY solution I was looking for. Thanks! I'm thinking a link or two of chain at just the right diameter would be a useful variation on this idea (instead of the S-hook). Buy a length of it, and cut it into 2-link sections. Could then use carabiners on the guy lines for quick attach.
1st of all, great work & video! :) And now.......! they support it! It took a while, but hey, it's here! :)
Do they? Where? I can change the sound of a connected chime in the UI, but not the sound of the outdoor doorbell. At least I don't see where?
Great idea! Thought the heat shrink as a stop was genius!
Is this type of enclosure wifi friendly? The material being metal? I have similar problem. My media panel is not enough but i also have limited space. What did you leave in your media panel? Just patch panels?
So how do you like your amplifier im looking to get a pair or 2 of these for a separate section of my backyard & garage but im looking for an amplifier to power this section. I currently have 2 pairs of the sonos architecture by sonance speakers with a sonos amp for the main area in the backyard and they sound pretty good. Im just not trying to spend alot on another sonos amplifier or sonos speakers
For many types of tent loops just a large fender washer on the lag bolt would work, just put the bolt through the loop of the tent. A neoprene washer of similar OD can be used to keep the metal washer in place and as a cushion between the bolt and the ring.
Great video, super technical. But do you know if it is possible to disable the white light(for G4 pro), the one pointing to the ground, via ssh? Thanks.
This is genius!!! Thank you for this video
I honestly didn't think this would work,but you proved me wrong so good job.
coach screw $1.25 each in a pack of 25, purpose made screw in tent pegs $1.13 in a pack of 15. Think I'll just buy the screw in tent pegs!
3 years later and this video is still helpful. I have the same situation where my leviton media cabinet doesnt meet my need anymore and I looked into the same tripe lite rack. Is it possible to flush mount this vertical rack?
Do you mean install it in the wall? No. First of all it mounts to the wall on the back. Second it's wider than 16" so it would not fit between the studs. 3rd it's over 6 inches deep. Most US walls are only 3.5-4" deep so it would still stick out. This is meant to be mounted to 16" on center stud walls with or without a Leviton-type structured media enclosure behind it.
@employee3dotcom thanks. Yes i mean to install it in the wall. I did some follow up research on this cabinet and also determined that flush mount in the wall will be challenging without modifying the studs, etc
Anyone able to enable ssh? (v3.1.16 unvr) (v2.10.10 OS) I cant seem to enable it. Help would be appreciated :)
What’s the max length of the wav?
Thank you very much! Was able to use this successfully on Protect 2.8.35.
Para interiores no los recomiendas ? En qué precio te salieron suenan bastante bien qué tal el bajo ?
I am unable to copy my wave file to the doorbell. I am getting this -> sh: /usr/libexec/sftp-server: not found. Please help.
@christiansakanai9812, I am going to use customize sounds for major holidays and want to revert back to the original sound on the doorbell. What is the easiest way to do this? Should I reboot or factory restore?
Do I need the amp?
If you're using tent stakes properly, the force to pull it straight out of the ground doesn't matter. You want to angle stakes so that they're in the ground at a right angle to the direction of force. That said, robust screws can be easier to get into and out of the ground, especially if you have an impact drill-driver. Nice DIY hook idea!
Agreed, I was looking at them in terms of them being easier to get into the ground with an impact gun, than a hammer in peg. But how they do when you hit the inevitable stone I always find with a tent peg, is the big question.
Great video. Thank you. What part of So Cal are you in?
Do you think that it was enough or you thought that was better buy Atrium 5? I am in doubt if I put atrium 4 + subwoofer or only atrium 4 but your test sound very very great
What a great video!!! Awesome and easy concept. I no longer have a vice, but think I can borrow one. very nice. Thank you! Subbed.
My Family's biggest complaint was everything going off when we lost power. I installed an Altronix AL1012ULACM 12vdc 10 amp power supply. This gave me 6-10 12v supplies that would last between 2hrs to 48hrs depending on the load. I ran the antenna amp, still do. A Leviton router and WIFI router and a rf modulator for putting the HDMI camera out of the DVR onto the antenna amp. Now I have a 24port Cisco Switch so I installed a Leviton 42 inch expansion ring to accommodate everything.
poor neighbours ...
I shit myself when when I saw the price !!
can you do the same with the smart chime ?
Excellent. Been looking to do this for a while. Thanks for the how-to!
how about the bass
A short piece of chain on the lag screw works good
Really smart idea
Protect v2.0 appears to have broken this :-(
I can’t wait to get these hahahaha
No one’s going camping with a drill
I do
Maybe if you camp in a trailer that's essentially a house. Overlanders take power tools with them all the time.
He's not using a drill.
I do, and a blower that reverses as a vacuum to clean out the tent at the end of the camp
Appreciate you.
Great idea with the lag bolts. Large diameter fender washers are an easy alternative to the S hook.
Very nice video and that works perfect for your application.
Hello! I am from mexico! Excuse me, i want to buy two outdoor speakers, the sonos sound Greate but is a lot money for me… can you tell me please , what do you prefer.. a bose or a polk outdoor speakers??? From this two, can you tell what prefer? Thanks? Excuse my bad english….
Cuál compraste siempre?
Wow I was not aware they sold this type of rack, definetely works better to stick them on those home closets, nicely done.
Is this waterproof?
Yes! Mine have held up fine with direct exposure to the elements for the past 18 months. No issues from rain, and no signs of fading/cracking from UV.
why not just write a batch file so we can download and run by changing IP via powershell? great video!!! Very informative... I'll defiantly be doing this for Christmas. :)
Can you pass off your christmas wav file. It was awesome :). thanks again for this hack.
This was super helpful for this year's Halloween escapades. Thanks!!
For the past year+ is was just able to SSH into the doorbell, rename "/sounds/chime.wav" to "chime.wav.old", upload my custom sound with the name "chime.wav", and restart the sounds and leds process. And it worked great. But recently that process wasn't working, I am guessing due to an update. When I did these steps today the custom sound would play briefly and then the doorbell would reboot, which sucks because I wanted to have a special Halloween doorbell. After playing around with it, I notice that they now have a "sounds_ring_button" folder in the "sounds" directory that contains "Chime.wav" (big C). Sadly this folder is read only so the same rename trick isn't possible. But I did get it to work. Like in the video I altered the sounds and leds config file, but I pointed it to a wav file that doesn't exist (i.e. ""sounds_ring_button": "../../../../../var/etc/sounds/HauntedMansionDoorbell.wav") AND then I did the usual rename "/sounds/chime.wav" and restart sounds and leds process. AND ITS WORKING! My guess is that the doorbell is pointing to the new "sounds_ring_button" folder, for the config but has a fall back to the original "sounds/chime.wav" if the file is not found. Ubiquiti if you are reading this PLEASE just make this an official process thru Unifi Protect
It looks like this has been patched bij UBNT. Whatever I did it never uses de custom.wav. nevertheless I used your video to get access to the camera's with SSH. a comment below stated that you can just rename te file with the mv (move) command and upload a new chime.wav, this also worked for me.
i just followed the video and all does work fine for me. and i did this just days ago.
@@skynett81 Good to hear! We have had a few updates since oktober so maybe they changed it back
Very nice job. I think I would have used a black fan to obscure it a bit. I have a structured panel and this is exactly why I am not buying a Dream Machine Pro. Ubiquiti should rethink the coffee can DM and offer us something that is port dense and fits structured boxes.
I followed your great instructions. Learned a lot. But could not get it to use custom.wav. I tried different file paths. I tried changing permissions to match the others in folder. I killed processes and even rebooted doorbell. In the end I used WINSCP to rename chime.wav to chimeold.wav and then uploaded my new file as chime.wav. Works great. I now have a great Halloween sounding ring tone using a snippet of Ghost busters theme song.
I ran into the same issue.
Well it's been a year and now I have this product. Surprised they haven't made it official to compete with Nest's holiday chimes that you have no control over when they appear and disappear. I will be doing this but my doorbell is powered by a GFCI that trips when my holiday lights get too wet... So I can see myself having to do this a couple times throughout the holidays ahead. Thanks for the video!
Just remind me to pack my drill and 18v battery pack.
You'd be better packing your impact driver like shown in this video. Drill isn't going to cut it.
Awesome ty
Unfortunately, it seems like this has been patched out... Messing with this config file doesn't change the sound my doorbell makes and there are references to the various wav files within /bin/ubnt_sounds_leds binary now. I don't know whether these were always there or not... Maybe you could patch the binary, and maybe you'll get lucky and you can fit a longer name in there, but if my understanding of the problem I'm running into is correct, that just sent the difficulty of this fun little tweak through the roof.
Indeed, this is disappointing. The 'Chime.wav' is the only sound mine will play. It cannot play custom WAV sounds or even the alternate default loaded into the config file 'Ding-dong.wav'. This would have been a fun halloween project.
@@erikzweigle I just did this today. I followed the instructions in the video like what was in the video which didn't work. So what I did instead is I just replaced "chime.wav" with my audio file with the same name. This removes the need to do any editing of files or pointing to a new file. Note the "chime.wav" is case sensitive. I replaced the one in the file /var/etc/sounds/
@@2zum I'm glad you got it working on your end. Unfortunately, my var/etc/sounds/chime.wav is read-only and scp will not overwrite it. I need to modify the ubnt_sounds_leds.conf file to back out of the usr/etc/sounds/sounds_ring_buttons directory because my Chime.wav is playing from that location and it is a read-only file as well. I tried your suggestion again in the var/etc/sounds/sounds_ring_button directory but run into the same read-only problem. I can only save to the var/etc/sounds/ directory using a unique name. I've tried elevating permissions with sudo to overwrite but have not had much luck. Any suggestions are welcome.
@@erikzweigle Thats interesting. I know the Chime.wav in /sounds_ring_buttons was read only as well but not in the other folder. I used WinSCP instead of native SCP from say a mac so I wonder if its any different? I copied the chime.wav and Chime.wav from both locations deleted the chime.wav from var/etc/sounds/chime.wav then uploaded my chime.wav. Sounds like I just got lucky some how.
@@2zum Thanks for the additional hints. I was finally able to get it working with your latest suggestion. Since 'scp' could not overwrite the existing read-only file I tried 'rm' removing the original chime.wav first and then placing my new chime.wav that contained the audio file I wanted to play into var/etc/sounds and that was successful. I also went back to the ubnt_sounds_leds.conf file and replaced the "../../../../var/etc/sounds" with just "chime.wave". Just mentioning that again so that anyone else who follows this thread remembers to do it.
