I don't know that one is better than the other, I really think it's a preference. I like it because I can immediately switch, using browser tabs, from local access to Nabu cloud. I find this confusing on the app. Plus, I am using an Android Tablet that has cell service.

Hey thanks for your comment and you're welcome, for the video. Yes the NVMe is generally for Caching but you can use them for storage if you wish and in a RAID1 if you want. Wow that's some storage you'll be having (16TB) but for Plex I guess you'll need it ;-) I do have mine in RAID 1 though (2 x 4TB spinning drives) which I use for the QNAP OS, Apps and my data, which I'm intending on probably running the OS & Apps from an NVMe (not RAID1) as it can easily be backed up or recovered from the factory default boot image which the QNAP has inside somewhere and which is what it boots from when first starting up, then it downloads the full O/S to run the NAS properly. Personally I've always used RAID for data, even though I do have cold backups like you suggest and which I take offline between backups, so it can't accidentally be accessed for none backup reasons. In fact I just use an external USB NVMe storage for example Kingston XS1000 which I just plug in to the USB 3.2 port on the front and it wizzes through backing up data in no time at all. In answer to your questions: It doesn't sound like a bad setup at all. But I would have RAID1 for data storage, even with cold/offline backups as you don't want to lose all that Plex data/files. From what I can tell the Apps & OS take up about 2GB and that's with basic apps, such as media server (QNAP one) and Hyper Backup and File Sharing, I tend to keep it clean as possible but that's just a personal chose I think you have to, as far as I can tell use the whole NVMe as Cache Storage, I don't think you can split it, Maybe have 2 NVMe's - 1 for Cache and 1 for the OS & Apps. I did in fact try a NVMe slot (1 of them) for Cache storage but to be honest it didn't seem to make much difference with speed of searching for data,/saving data, maybe a very small amount which I felt wasn't worth it. Streaming works well on them even though I'm using spinning drives and I can easily stream 4K content to my TV and I've not noticed it lag or picture breakup. In the end each person has their own thoughts on Cache storage vs NVMe vs spinning disks and what they should and shouldn't be used for. Ideally personall I would like to just have SSD drives instead of spinning disks, when the price comes down some more and then just run the O/S for the QNAP and it's apps from a NVMe, not in RAID for the NVMe but in RAID 1 for the SSD's with all the data on and then keep my external SSD/NVMe/portable drive for regular offline/cold backups of the data SSD's. Hope this helps! Ask away if you need any more advice/suggestions.

Yeah in fact I had to re-upload it as it was pointed out to me by a kind subscriber that the audio/video was out of sync in certain places, so this is the replacement episode 2 of 4. Happy New Year to you too!

@@MrTimTech2022 Audio is so important !

Oh yes, your right. It was too many fusion compositions in Davinci Resolve that was causing it to go out of sync.

I did wonder about that myself too, maybe they will release some more switches soon with multi-gigabit, watch this space I say 😁

I've just re-uploaded the Part 2 video for Alta Labs Full Network Setup series after I found out it was out of sync at 8:20 in the original until 11:00. So thanks so much for picking up on this and letting me know. I'm always open to constructive and informative comments. Thanks again 😀😉

You are right yes, there's no weather proof rubber seal, I guess time will tell, so far mine has survived storms with gales and very heavy rain and is still working. I wonder how other people here on the channel have any installations that are also still surviving with moisture/condensation etc ?

Sometimes the Virgin Media Hub can only be linked to your UDM SE via the VM Hub Port 1 or Port 4, normally only those 2 ports will work. Did you put your UDM SE in the correct WAN connection type ?, make sure you set the UDM SE WAN connection settings correctly to the correct WAN type Are you using the correct IP address on the UDM SE (192 168 0 1) ? I would suggest following my guide again from the very start and do things carefully and slowly and it should work.

@@MrTimTech2022 That was the mistake then as I connect it on port 9

@@arcatemfamilly No problem, although I mean port 1 or 4 of the VM Modem, not the UDM SE 👍

You're welcome. Yes I believe you would need a rule which would have to be above the RFC1918 blocking rules and it would be LAN IN rule to allow access to those subnet ranges. However I'm unable to test it as my Unifi network is not currently setup in my lab as I have other devices setup at the moment, give it ago or you could check with a post on the ubiquiti community forum to see if someone has the specific things to write. I currently have some other brand of products in my lab setup so unable to just switch between the two at the moment.

This is meant as an easy guide for complete new users, so it was easy and the most general way to use it and I will be doing other guides/use cases in future too.

Thanks. Well if you check out this video and it will explain about the Weather Card for you 😀 ua-cam.com/video/wBMnvMYgack/v-deo.html

@ thank you brother!

@@KCapitalT You're welcome

@Chytin - Thanks for your comment and your support with my videos. Glad you found it helpful. What made you change from Synology to QNAP then ?

@@MrTimTech2022 I bought the TS-464-8G. QNAP offers so much more in the same price range as the DS423+ and DS923+. It ticked all the boxes on hardware level, more RAM, 2x 2.5 Gbe ports, capable CPU with built in GPU. I liked the GUI of DSM a little more than QTS, but it serves it purpose for all my needs, such as back up for my photos and videos and Plex streaming. My previous DS411-II was not able to keep up and the TS-464 seems like overkill, for now. The extra headroom is there whenever I need it. It is up and running and I couldn't be happier. You really helped me out with your calm way of explaining. Thanks, much appreciated.

Ahh that's very kind of you, thank you so much. Glad you liked the video and found it helpful.

Thanks very much, glad you were able to follow it ok, hopefully 'fingers crossed' you did get the permissions ok, I know what you mean as it took me a while to keep going through them all. Basically you just accept them all, go back one step with the 'arrow button' and then keep accepting, going back, accepting and so on. If you've missed them you can always go in to 'Settings' and then 'App Permissions' for Kiosk App and then just accept them in their, for those that you might have missed. I'm doing a video next on how to automatically charge up the tablet using a smart plug, so you may want to keep a look out for that video too! 🙂

You're welcome!

I contacted Grandstream direct about this and they asked me to contact the UK distributor which I did and unfortunately I'm still awaiting a response, thanks for reminding me, will chase! If you're in the UK ? then try contacting BNS Distribution that sells Grandstream products in the UK as their UK distributor.

Thanks very much. The best option would be to register the 2nd Yubikey for your phone and have the Yubikey app on the phone too, at least then if your laptop and main Yubikey ever fail you have a complete separate backup with the 2nd Yubikey and your phone. You should be able to add 2 security keys with most online services if they are good! Just have a look at each website help to see if you can register 2 security keys. Hope this helps 🙂

Yes I would suggest doing that 😉

Good suggestion, just wanted to keep it simple and short as possible for new users, there is another video on my channel which from memory I show that.

Thanks very much 🙂Ahh I think you mean the automatic charging up of the tablet yes ? If so they in fact there's a video coming soon showing you how to automatically charge up the tablet when battery drops, using a smart plug of course, so get your smart plug's ready!

Hi, thanks for your comment. I haven't actually tried this or if it can be done, I don't think it can as far as I know but you might like to try searching on the Ubiquiti forum/community to see if there's anything on their about it.

Well yes that's correct I guess, it's just the way I explained it, that the password would be per user instead of device. So yes the passwords do of course tie you up to the relevant VLAN, so yes you actually create a password for each VLAN. Hope that makes sense for you now.

@@MrTimTech2022 I'm trying to find a solution exactly like the PPSK Aerohive/Extreme network has. Basically, each user has a private key. I'm almost certain Unifi doesn't provide this.

@@dtcoleman05 Understood, yes that's right as far as I'm aware Unifi don't have PPSK's per individual user.

Hi Stefan, thanks for your comment. This video the comment is on explains how to integrate it in to the Home Assistant Dashboard, did you watch it all ? There's also another video which I have done which makes a pop up window appear on Home Assistant Dashboard when someone rings the doorbell, the video is called 'Home Assistant Reolink Video Doorbell Pop Up' Hope this helps.

Dallan ?

Yes you can install it on the left or right side, it's inter-changeable

You're welcome, glad you found my video and it was helpful for you.😉👍

You need to make sure that your switch has access to both VLAN ID's as it needs to always be able to access the management VLAN ID, you're switch must have a trunk port for it or you can just restrict it to VLANS 1 and say 46. It would really be best if someone could actually get in to the system to check it to make sure the switch has access to VLAN 1 and say 46 which you suggest. From what I understand in your comment if I am reading it right then yes your switch would need access to both VLAN ID's as it must have access to the management VLAN to be able to talk to the controller all the time, so tag it with VLANS 1 and 46. Hope that helps, albeit a little.

i didnt understand how vlan id receiving ip address from DHCP. it is also showing third party gateway.

@@axxoaxx288 Sorry I don't think I can help further as I would really need to see the setup in person to see what's going on. Maybe suggest you get a local IT expert in that's had experience with Fortigate and Unifi of course. I don't have experience with Fortigate yet. Sorry

@@MrTimTech2022 what i want to know while creating vlan under network if we select third party router as router then i cannot see option to provide ip address for that vlan as we do when we select unifi gateway or switch. why there is no option to provide interface vlan without enabling routing?

You can connect it via ethernet instead of wifi as it has an RJ45 port. For power you need to make sure that your existing power source meets the power requirements for the Reolink doorbell which you can find in the specs in depth on the Reolink website. Hope that helps.

Thanks. You're welcome, glad it worked for you too, nice little tip, saves you keep getting distracted and looking at the video feed all the time doesn't it 😀

Well I've just played it back and I can hear myself and understand what's being said, yes not perfect audio I know but certainly doesn't sound like morse code, must be your equipment you're using to watch with.

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks very much, makes me feel very appreciated when I keep getting comments like yours. Great stuff, I've found Reolink very good. You should find some links in my videos which might get you some discount on future orders and a little bit of commission for me (and I mean a little bit 😏. Hope you get on well with the Doorbell, sure you will, it's never gone offline yet in fact none of my camera's have either. Looking forward to doing some more Reolink videos when I get some more products.

Umm very odd, to be honest I've not had any issues with the coordinator linking to Home Assistant and my smart bulbs (zigbee ones) are working ok with their timers, but I've just literally checked the web interface and it takes ages to load and when it does (partly!) it just puts random text up on the screen after about 5 minutes, so no the web interface does not load properly, very odd! More investigation needed I think and more research! Keep us all updated if you find out anything yourself, would be great thanks 😕👍

Also do you retain the microphone function with Home Assistant?

@@BUDM4N789 Good question, that I have yet to try as I haven't used the Microphone function yet but it's something I will be trying out!

@@MrTimTech2022Any update?

You're welcome, well yes a good suggestion in theory as they never access the internet, I end accessing websites for them, so yes good suggestion in most cases but as I'm the only person that accesses their websites it's not really required in my specific circumstances. But like I say thanks for the feedback and certainly the best thing to do if they were also accessing websites.

Hey Tommy, Thanks very much, you're very welcome too

Hey, That's really odd I certainly haven't encountered that issue myself but thinking about what it could be... Have you tried accessing the SLZB web interface page and setting the IP address to static ? Just set it's IP address to what it currently is at the time you're accessing the webpage for it. It might also be something to do with the PoE power it's pulling, make sure your PoE switch has enough power left to power it, check the PoE limit and how much your other devices are using ? Let me know how you get on

@MrTimTech2022 @MrTimTech2022 Hi, thanks for the response and the advice I will look into it, but I prefer to connect zigbee coordinator to raspberr or another host, same way as ZHA, I think is more stable than connecting to POE, but I'm not sure it's possible, have you try that way?

@@tomaszmiekina801 Thanks for the update, understood, I'm not really a fan of Raspberry Pi's to be honest but each to their own and they are good pieces of kit, just a personal choice with me. Maybe try PoE and see how you get on, mine is pretty stable when PoE connected. I wonder if USB power is dropping or going in to power saving mode at some point. Hope you get it resolved, keep us updated if you would 👍

@Karel, Hey thanks for the feedback and question, yes if you use either the local GWN Manager controller on a local VM/PC or even use GDMS.Cloud (cloud based controller) then you can setup VLANS all in one place, from memory! I should be doing a VLANS setup video in the next few weeks, if you want to wait until I've done that video!
