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

Yes, you will run out of capacity quickly if not immediately out of the starting gate. Play with the capacity calculator, you'll see what I mean. Yes. UNVR or UNVR-Instant. Likely the former, given your potential for growth/more cameras on the system. Only if you're out of routing horsepower. The cu

In general consider: Aftermarket half-size server racks. They can be had for like 150€ on average. It is the most tedious job in the planet to migrate from one rack to a new rack. And you can also run non networking gear if you get full lenght one, so you can put your servers also there. Dont forget

I couldn't fix it. I got a Firewalla Gold Pro and that handles the full speed. I can't recommend Aquiss enough though. The owner reached out and helped me through, reached out to several business contacts that he knew was running similar equipment from Unifi and then reached back out saying that the

Yeah, that last bit about no controller's the only thing that really stood out to me, as well. Also, if you're going to add video surveillance through Ubiquiti, additionally add a standalone NVR. The Unifi Protect app when recording multiple cameras draws substantial CPU use on a Dream Machine SE, a

ubiquiti is the go-to for mesh systems. In their good gear, the router/gateway and access points are independent from each other, allowing for upgrade of the wifi network separate from the router. They use POE+ for the access points - so like look at a UDM SE and hardwiring a couple AP's in mesh. Yo

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

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

The UDM-xxx line really wants to be mated with a good core switch via DAC. Say a Pro Max 16 or 24 PoE, for example. That said, those ports are useful for many things, and aren't a horrible place to start out with, if you're spacing out purchases (SE, then switch, say). Low-bandwidth uses for UDM-xxx

Thanks for the details. So I am pretty new to Ubiquiti and I had bought a UDM SE after my connection went tits up and was frustrated with not having a stable connection but it sat in the box for a bit, around 10 months to be precise, along with the UAP-AC-PRO (WiFi 5) which at the time I didn't thin
