Tip - Put your CCTV on a separate VLAN, with the camera ports presenting the VLAN as untagged, so it is separate from your main LAN, to prevent someone taking a camera off the wall and accessing your main network..
If indoor dome cameras can go outside, could I also set my PC rig outside and run a cable inside so the case gets more Airflow ?? I think this could help the equipment by having the pc in the garden with better airfllow. Thanks for the solid info here.
Tom Peters LOL
His confidence talking while being on a ladder .... quality. Wish this guy a lot of success.
Imagine living next door to him my house would be up for sale ASAP
Your dome may not last long there. It needs to be very close up under an overhang if it's going to be outdoors.
No it doesn't, domes can be fitted any where you like. If you fit a dome under the soffit all you end up with is a really crappy view of heads and full of spiders
matthew mcmullan Of course, you can put anything anywhere you'd like. But, the actual product manual from Ubiquiti says to put it up under the eave or a protection of some sort. Being 10 feet under the eave does not meet that requirement. Hence, my comment.
The dome camera isn't fully weatherproof, and is only recommended to be installed outdoors below an overhang, not in the middle of a wall as you've installed it.
JS2Tango exactly what I was thinking
is recording the street (so not your own property) legal in the UK? just making sure you won't get in any legal trouble
It is 100% legal to film a public street from a public place or from fully owned land. No one has a right to privacy in public.
It could be legal. But recording the garden of you're nabors. Isn't . Like he does on 7.14
theshooter2013 Not necessarily, domestic CCTV systems are not covered by the Data Protection Act. If a complaint is made, the police can ask if the camera could be moved. But no law is being broken if its for Domestic and personal security use.
If someone rips one of your cameras off the wall and plugs in a laptop, they have instant access to your whole network because you didnt subnet the IP cameras. Please research your equipment before trying to tell others about it.
This dude is totally clueless when it comes to networking and security!
@@TheRobbSki its hilarious watching these from a network/cctv background. stupid to make instructional videos of "amazing setups" when they are pretty shocking tbh.
@@tobyshorland7036 not only that.. but i wonder if he is actually breakin local law.. i have been working with security systems for 10years.. where i am living his setup would be illegal because he is recording nabors property , public property and nothing of his single home from the at least 2 of the cameras. Beside that its a bad setup.. horrible recorder and everything is basically wrong with it.. almost.. though cameras have a good image quality.. but thats it.
Vlan ?
Someone's gonna bring a ladder, climb up, disconnect camera and connect a laptop just to get on his network? lol get real. Nobody's going to do that.
It might be a good idea to isolate all the security cameras on their own VLAN with no internet access. That way if someone somehow manages to take a camera off your exterior wall and plugs a laptop in, they won't have access to your entire network and such.
Not "might be a good idea", it IS what you do (not even "should"), or you're just asking for trouble!
Sadly, it's something a lot of people forget about with good custom setups because most out-of-the-box solutions like Hikvision already prevent network bridging at the NVR.
Well shit. My router does not support vlan. What can i do ?
bring back the daily vlogs i miss them
TechFlow is killing the game!! haha keep up the great work Alex and Jed!
You need to position them to be able to get a view of someone's face and number plate
The G3 Dome isn't rated for outdoor use. You'll likely have issues with condensation in the casing. They're only really for indoor or outdoor in a sheltered location, under canopy etc..
Couple known issues here.
- Cameras are way too high. You're going to get the top view of vehicles, people, etc.
- You pronounce ethernet wrong. It doesn't matter where you live. You're pronouncing it wrong.
- Network Cabinet is in the wrong location. Bring it downstairs to your house's ambient temperatures. Your attic space is too hot to house your equipment up there. The life of your equipment is cut in half when it's experiencing hot conditions.
Buzz off, Murican!
Well said!
- Good point
- And other people spell colour as "colour".
- He spoke about his network cabinet location in one of his vlogs. He said that was the only place he could physically place his network cabinet and he is also aware about the heat. Idk if he'll resolve the heating problem, but at least he is aware that it's wrong.
SCWfan06 just common sense. That’s all.
dondonini I live in an apartment and still have space for a cabinet. It’s bullshit. He had the same shit in his old house.
That’s not CCTV (Closed Circuit TV) CCTV is closed circuit doesn’t connect to the internet or a network its disconnected from everything else when are you gonna actually learn what stuff is
technically it's IPTV as the data travels using the IP protocol
Traditionally CCTV travels over coax not Ethernet being the standard or UTP/STP cabling
I'm afraid your applying a very old definition and trying to interpret it in 2018. The transmission of video across data across an IP network, involving remote access, or off site storage of footage still falls well within the definition of CCTV.
When you realise your video is only 9 minutes long and you want that add revenue so you decide to muck up your intro and leave it in there
Didn’t see you do it, but you might want to put a bead of silicone on the back of the housing...to ensure no water can get between the brick and housing and in through the hole.
What is Etha net?
Bring back daily vlogs missing them!
2:40 He said Ethernet correctly!! :)
Finally!!
This Alex guy will be a presenter one day..... GUARANTEED!!!!!!!
Alex please stick to one pronunciation of Ethernet thanks 😂
He was using Ethernet in the wrong context anyway. Ethernet is the link layer protocol used to transfer data over cat cables, so shouldn't be used in terms of "ethernet ports" or "ethernet cables" etc
Terrible camera placement. You'll get recordings of the top of people's heads, not their faces.
TheStig ZeroZeroZero he says he doning it not All on. Camera
How did you run the cable from the lower dome camera to the switch in the attic?
Im not a fan of that NVR, after about 6month every time the recordings become corrupt for some strange reason. then you login to check and all the recent recordings is corrupted
The VGA port is for display
He meant the port which he pointed to out of screen
One day I wanna get a whole setup for home security. I just love the idea. Would be so awesome.
love the new intro/outro and the other graphics.keep it up techflow team (alex and jed):)
Loving the new tech flow graphics and as always a great video :)
Sniff Sniff, I smell a sponsor lol who would buy a NVR with a rating like that? lol You always work with Ubiquiti, they probably sent you them for review :P
Britec09 - he did a vlog where he showed the delivery of all the cameras that ubiquity sent him for free. I'm guessing the disclaimer that not ALL products were free was that he paid for the switch or something.
just a bit of advice move your cams down more as your pointing at the public road and you can see in to you neighbours property or use the privacy setting to blank out all the windows and doors that is not on your property I have my SIA CCTV Licence even when I'm at work the public parts that the cameras can see have been privicy blanked off
The police are aware, they have to see next week.
The uvc-g3-dome is not outdoor rated, it is going to get wrecked pretty quickly out there on the Wall...
I have no doubt that will fail pretty quick but I'm more interested in how long it will take that rackmount gear and the NVR to fail in a hot and stuffy attic.
neighbours windows !!!! is a no no , you need to be better informed very poor
@@techflow Haha we all know how true that is. I wouldn't move em either not hating on u btw
Alex, the dome camera did you run the Ethernet cable up the cavity to get the cable to the loft?
Or did you run it inside first?
And in the professional security world we call this ‘cheap shit’
Hello _ they have low frame rate, ghosting in IR, made from plastic so completely non vandal resistant & are pushed at DIY users. Wouldn’t last 5 minutes in a commercial environment. Plus he only fitted them as they clearly supplied them for nothing lol.
Hello _ I install hikvision, axis, Panasonic etc. Mainly larger sites 100-1000 camera systems.
Axis + Milestone . End of Story... UBNT is great for home use, but if you want a REAL system, Axis & Milestone
What software do you use for your server for the NVR?
My own NVRs? I use Milestone
Those camera angles would be illegal in most European countries as a breach of neighbors privacy. I'd be very careful about monitoring neighbor's property without their explicit permission, also public spaces such as roads might be protected under law.
I agree
Jup. Gdpr
Have fun looking at the top of peoples heads, haha!
'Essentially'
I hate how you say Ethernet 😂
Frankly that's not the only thing 😉
hes British so he says it the correct way
@@coodlegaming no he doesn't.
@@literate-aside yes
@@coodlegaming that's not how British people say ethernet
Not sure if you are wanting to I'd people coming and going, but at that height you will most likely not get a good look at someone's face. Should mount something near face level especially near entrances. Just my 2 cents from doing many installs. It doesn't look the greatest, but that's where low profile comes in, and you want to make sure you catch someone. Cameras mounted high are great for observations, and adding detail.
Agree..
It's a deterrent only. Have you heard of hoodies, balaclavas, snoods - that's what the bad boys go out hunting in. Oh, and they wear gloves too. Catch someone! - do you install in the UK? The Police here couldn't catch a cold. All you're doing with any of these systems is moving the boys onto your neighbours pad. Result.
BTW at like 7:40 you said I don’t want to reveal how they are all connected. We already know. You showed us it’s via the switch and the network recorder box.
HarveyRyan You most certainly are an advanced human to be able to ascertain that much info right in front of your eyes!
BTW setup your equipment on the ground before installation. Then when you install it, it's ready to go, you can aim it using your smart phone while at the camera.
8:40 i would set the quality of the cameras down to medium as the ssd in the nvr would fill up within a month or too, you dont need 1080p for a security camera.
So what if it fills up in a month, a month is plenty of time to have detected a crime or whatever, and marked the clip(s) to not delete, or exported it. you want the best quality you can get, especially if they are mounted really high and are wide angle!
Jack's Tech Once the NVR becomes full, they normally overwrite the historic footage anyway.
Hello_ & Toby Sinclair-Bell the extra resolution will also come in hand to creep out and view in the neighbors gardens and zoom into a window !
2tb with 8 cameras will only last him about 2 weeks if there's loads of traffic but most people aren't away from home more than 2 weeks so not a huge problem
Hi Alex, were you able to setup privacy masking on the CCTV system?
This is not available yet on Unifi Video unfortunately
The security system should be on a separate VLAN to prevent outside access to your network
Jack Sweeney exactly what i do with phillips hue and Alexa. Going to do same with camera install
If you use a separate vlan, doesn't it get a pain that you need to have the device you control the bulbs with on the same vlan? And then switch to another WiFi connection in a different vlan to access other equipment?
Nick Thorley i just set up rules in pfsense to allow locked down routing.
Mat Burchett so just the ports that the cameras or light bulbs or ... Need?
Nick Thorley yeah :)
What's the laws/rules about cameras over looking other houses or looking into there windows. As I notice all of urs do that?
All decent cctv systems have the ability to place block out zones that aren’t recorded
matt boxall On my house we just asked the one neighbours garden it looked into, and they were fine with it. Alex may of also done this !
It's a big no no to look at peoples windows without the permission. You should mask them off
@1:40 it is a normal harddrive and not a SSD ;-)
Another sponsored commercial. No way would someone purchase that expensive of a product without research and testimonials and be confident with the choice. I see the UVC-G3-Dome is $629 USD and G#-AF is $140 ea. That's a lot of money to 'watch the road both directions' without "knowing if they are any good". I watched because i wanted to see a CCTV setup, not an internet cam IPTV show commercial.
Tom Peters I've built a few systems for friends, the way to go is building a dedicated computer/server that will run blue iris. That way you can utilize the high power of desktop components, and you can make it as simple/intense as you want. You can have raid, hot swap bays, battery backup and redundant psu's like I did, or you could even just use an old laptop. The software is about $50, but it allows you Incredibly glandular controls of motion triggering, and it allows you to use cheap $50 cameras from China with absolutely no issue.
All in all, read up into blue iris, it is by far the best option
Or if you use Ubiquiti cameras, download the NVR software and install it on a PC for free - the dedicated hardware NVR is optional.
How did you run the cables for the third camera? as surely it was too low to go straight into the loft??
wtf is a Effenet cable?
Curious to know what the rules are over there in regards to cameras looking at neighbouring properties? I know here, it's a big no, no. But is it different over there because CCTV is so prolific anyway? I'm from New Zealand btw. Cheers team. Slick vid.
jaysecure allowed as long as neighbours agree.
Unless it’s looking into a neighbouring garden then no u don’t need permission. You can freely record from any device including cctv in your property or on public property
here in the UK you can film on public property without being told not to legally unless its HM property like GCHQ but on private land they can ask you to stop filming but you don't have to listen since its not illegal so pointing a camera into a neighbours garden is legal even if its a little immoral and gets used by some peeping tom next door
In California (USA) you can record on your property and face others as long as you don’t have view of private areas (like bathrooms) per the California Eavesdropping Law. As long as it’s at a reasonable angle it’s okay.
you may have an issue with water on the dome camera those are only supposed to be mounted under an overhang externally. They are more for indoors. Good luck.
best tech channel
love the new graphic elements on the video! keep up the great working always enjoy watching your TechFlow videos and vlogs.
Where can I buy some of that ahthernet?
Amazing that you will recognise the top of someones head as they leave with your telly
should've shown how you fed the wires through the wall & up to the loft, that would've been helpful
Yes you are allowed to film The Street on residential purposes had cameras for lots of years had neighbours try and complain when falling out providing you have reason e.g. car van vehicle or Just Cause there's no reason you're not allowed to
Can't wait till you post more vlogs.
@Techflow be like : camera 3000$, tee shirt 500$, house 3.1 billion dollars
Me: I have a tortilla.........25 pennies
"... and we got a vga port, not sure what that one is..." It's called comparability with older monitors. Alright?
I like you again now :) I had a year break but i'm back loving the new style man.
I guess you have no experience in CCTV. All you are going to get is the tops of people's head which will prove useless should you get burgled! Get a professional in.
Hi Alex, just want to thank you. I used your vids and installed a link with the litebeam from my dads house to mine. ( He has fibre i dont)
My first attempt and i just finished everything. I now have a 100meg line - all thanks to you.
Good video but very bad placement of cameras. You want them a maximum of 10 feet from the ground. Doesn't matter that people can perhaps get to them or smash them because as long as you have set them up correctly then you will catch the person's face before they do all of that and that is the important thing here, getting good enough quality video capture so it can be used to catch the criminal. Also take a look at EZVIZ cameras. Basically the consumer range of HikVision. Very good cameras and NVR.
Mark Bowen totally true, I read the Dahua ip cameras have better night vision.
Daily vlogs wee really good
3 TechFlow vids a day make your nerves chill away. Lol !!
Nice setup of camera's, i just want to ask you, is it legal in England, to record public road?
Public yes private no
@7:40......He already showed on the security system; that he's located in Edinburgh....lol
That's not how that works. It's just the timezone.
Newark on trent, he wouldn't survive in Edinburgh
Thanks guys....so he’s from Newark...lol. 🤔
Hi Alex, i'm a big fan of you! I have a question, i see you use UniFi switches. Can you tell me, how is the noise level of those? And are they "better" compared to a cisco switch? Would be much appreciated if answered! Great video, as always!
Check out this video. He talks about the noise level and even measures it with a meter... ua-cam.com/video/N7ALeXoBGh0/v-deo.html
@@ThisOldFarmShop Yes some proper networking channels bois
How do you like the your 24 port POE switch? Do the fans always run? i am thinking of getting one (24 port or 16 port), but especially the 16 port switch (which would be enough for me) has plenty of bad reviews of running smoking hot to the point it smells actually burnt.
I've had the 16 Port POE for 1.5 yrs now a no problems at all.
VGR is what us old folk had befor HDMI 😂😂😂
Hate the way he says Ethernet 😭 lol
That’s not funny
Its E-THER-NET not ETHER-NET, bugs me too
It's illegal to point your security cameras into someone else's yard/property...
No it's not
You can acutally have someone else yard in the view of your camera but you have to make sure that the part of the picture is blacked out on recording.
surreyfire.co.uk/cctv-legislation/
Essentially you need to stop saying “Essentially”
I’d also use some type of weather proofing epoxy on the cable entry holes if I were you.
just use some silicone, thats water proof
GamingOaktree agreed!
Great video Alex. Do you think you will get solar panels for your home?
As a alarm and cctv engineer myself what you got is a good budget system. I run 2x bosch mic 400 ptz cameras front and back and pelco domes inside. If you go for a alarm I would look at the texecom premier 24 alarm system
As your camera placement covers public property I assume you have registered your system with ICO to stay within regs?
you can set dead zones
Sponsored by the word "essentially"
I’ve been using the Arlo cameras that with IFTTT and Philips Hue will switch on lights if motion is detected which I think works as a deterrent. Can you do this with the cameras you have used? I presume your video footage will also be backed up to the cloud.
I’m liking your house. There is a lot to be said for having a brick garden wall.
Some parts of the video seemed to have such a warm color temp that I thought night mode on my PC was on :)
Won't tell people where all my cameras are but will tell you where I have put the nvr box to record on is.
anything to do with cctv i get a buzz out of it plus the cctv systems i install is hikvision but this system looks not bad :)
From a simplicity standpoint I would use nest. This seems really complicated to set up, and you need POE to do so.
Wendell Laidley: POE is really easy they are 2 ways that I know of
Love the new look for tech flows it makes it more professional!! Keep the amazing work👍
Lol now you'll know if spiders are intruding your loft
It's ethernet not ethhernet
PRO MEDIA correct names pronounced ethhernet however most people pronounce it as Ethernet as do i
He used to say it correctly but he doesn't now
PRO MEDIA yeah I noticed that
Awesome you make it look so easy. What is your background as far installation?
If you look closely you will see his friend that does most of the work, and alex pops up a ladder and videos the results.
New intro was 👌🏽
Hello Alex, it would be nice to have a playlist of your home networking reviews/tutorial. thanks
Which computer keyboard are you using in this video? (Sitting on the sofa) love how big it is and attached mouse pad
What speed hard drives are better for CCTV? 5400RPM, 7200RPM or SSD Drives? And why?
Can’t wait for the full tour
Hello _ full network tour
Wired “effernet”...... u can pick up half decent wireless equipment for a fraction of the cost. Just make sure u have adequate network security. Also means no drilling walls, ceilings etc and spending hours running cabling around your house. Then when you move home it’s just a power source to unplug. Otherwise you have to remove all the cables, fill holes etc etc etc... go wireless.
Sandy Nicholls wireless cctv isn’t as good as wired equipment. It less stable, video quality is worse. If you need to drill for power cables why not just install cat5 cabel.
While I agree that wireless isn’t as good as wired, I don’t think that wired is around 10 times better and therefore can’t justify 10 times the cost. I have a wireless system with 4 external cameras and 5 internal as well as 2 motion sensors. This is quite a basic setup but all my images would stand up in a court of law or for insurance purposes as external points of entry and internal entry points are covered and anyone can be easily identified. Shopping around this setup has cost me approx £350 for the cameras and around £100 for the sensors. All I am saying is that if your on a bit of a budget or uncomfortable with mains electrics and associated wiring then wireless is an option. Also with cat 5, you have the wiring visible or have to hide behind box conduit. And ultimately like I said, if you decide to move home you literally unplug and setup again as new
@@cinnamondonkey2397 I never said wireless wasn't more secure than wired.... I'm just saying that it's all well and good doing systems like this if money is no object but not everyone has that luxury as well as maybe in rented it shared accommodation. Further more you have a wired connection to the install location in the house but everything else is wireless so you can just be hacked that way. Also, everyone here had better get go back to writing letters because I would pretty much better my last pound that at lease 75% if the users are accessing through a wireless device if some sort so by default, you are all being hacked... And if your security is that good that you are not, then you can do wireless... But at the end of the day nearly every company in the world has been hacked or DOS.

He might not necessarily only be concerned about capturing peoples' faces, but also number plates and in my experience higher cameras are actually better for this/have no issue with this.
