Dream Machine Special Edition

Most people on Reddit will tell you to buy another switch and connect that switch to the udm via DAC and connect everything to that switch instead of the UDM Yes. Because the UDM Pro/SE only gives the 8 port switch a 1 gig backplane. You shouldnt use it for devices that could ACTUALLY pull a gig of

I'd probably put another 24 port patch panel between the UDM-SE and the core switch. Yes, you want an SE for the flexibility, and there are lots of good uses for those ports. Low-bandwidth uses for UDM-xxx 8 port integral switch Also has good discussion of the technical shortcomings of the 8 port AI

What specifically draws you to the UDM SE? If you’re just powering POE cameras that’s a good option, although the dedicated UNR Instant or UNVR are both solid options. FYI the entire UDM lineup is dated and due for a refresh. Most here on this Reddit would recommend the UCG Fiber.

CGF does run Protect. The big reason people are suggesting the UDM-SE is because it can generate 180W of POE. It's also a far more mature and stable product. There's something to be said about being able to attach a WAP directly to the gateway if need be. If you don't have plans on ever going past 2

I just bought a house with a Hikvision setup, and asked about it in a couple places. You should take a look at the responses. Same question, two subs.

The UDM SE, UCG Fiber, or Dream Router 7 are routers/cloud gateways to control Unifi devices. You would still need a modem. Ubiquiti makes the Unifi Cable Internet modem that is certified for Xfinity. I’m using it for my backup connection. It’s on the expensive side. There are other options from Arr

That's more than I'd hang on the SE's AIO utility switch. It only has 1 GbE uplink to the UDM-SE proc. Cameras and IoT hubs only. APs and downstream switches are not good things to hook up there. Long thread on the topic. You really want a core switch hanging off of one of your SFP+ ports with a DAC

This seems more in the scope of a professional consultant than a Reddit post, but if you’re DIYing it, spend a bunch of time at design.ui.com planning it out and it’ll answer a lot of the coverage questions you’ll likely run into if you’re rolling Wi-Fi into the project. I like the UDM-SE and you sh

Whenever someone says 'stumbled' and associated with UniFi. My first reaction is to recommend reading upon the product line or help articles: store.ui.com https://techspecs.ui.com/ https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us I use the UDM-SE and for home use. I find it the best for home use as its a Gateway, switc

Well you need a router to make the network functional. You also need a unify controller, the UDM-SE has one built in. But the UDM-SE has a shared back plane for all of its ethernet switch ports. So they all share bandwidth, not a good thing to use as the center of a network. Like I said before, you
