"dude! Where were you, I've rang your door bell like a million time"
- "sorry bro, I forgot to renew the door bell subscription"
That's not how it works, but nice try
That's how I imagined it.
LTT, get away from monthly subscriptions. All you need is $10,000 worth of server hardware!
I read this in Kutchers voice 😂😂
"Dude... What does mine say?" "Sweet.... What does mine say?"
@@mask86 never knew anyone use it.. so how does it work? and why a subscription for a doorbell a thing?
Yvonne: Our doorbell is broken.
Linus: ain't fixing it until someone pays me to.

Time stamp?
Don't worry found it 9:07
Forgetting to turn the breaker back on is the home improvement equivalent of forgetting to turn a power supply on before powering on a PC
and we've all done both
My computers’ power supply has no switch. Plug it in, the power supply fires up.
"It doesn't appear to be powered"
"Yeah, it's because you turned off the breaker"
[Laughs in Brian the electrician]
me when building new PC... forget to switch the PSU
BRIAN IS A GOD
This entire video made me cringe🙃

♪ He's electrifying and helpful ♪
♪ Such a helpful man ♪
@@5at5una Done that before, don't know why a PSU would need a power switch when you can just unplug the unit before changing anything.
The doorbell may shock you because you didn't hire Brian the Electrician.

"Cable companes aren't even that evil"
**MODEM RENTAL FEES WOULD LIKE TO KNOW YOUR LOCATION LINUS**
Spectrum tried to charge me 10 a month just for the wireless feature on the modem.
I'm waiting to see what our new cable company is going to charge for the Fiber modem? We have been waiting for land based internet forever! I was going to wait for starlink but they just said it's going to cost $99 a month and $499 for the Kit! It will be cheaper to wait on Blue Ridge to get the fiber to my little village.
I'm pretty sure the point was that a rental fee is not the same as buying the hardware. If you buy something you shouldn't have to pay again to use it. That's like if you buy a TV from LG and then have to subscribe to THEIR cable package to hook up your XBOX.
@@stephblackcat I really hope you don't ever get Cox cable then, because there are customers I deal with daily that own their equipment and are paying for rental fees. Soley because of the fact they need one specific feature that "entitles them to the upcharge"
@@Aelethil that sounds illegal. You can't rent someone something they own.
Linus, your doorbell chime box is wired so the front button corresponds to the “rear” chime. If you switch the wires in the chime box so the other “front” coil activates, you will get the classic dual tone sound rather than that single tone, and it should be significantly louder
That worked! thanks
Linus has created the most profitable "House Tour" and we didn't even notice
He sold out his own house to sponsors 👏
@@Shavaaa He sold out (almost) all of his privacy though
@@laparngantuk the amount of "fans" and just plain old creeps that have went to his house uninvited was what took away his privacy and gave him the need for interior cameras in the first place. Theres a lot that goes on behind the scenes that famous people cant and wont talk about.
@@MasterBasser Plus potential home invaders mapping the joint out lol
It was inevitable for people to find where he lives and he’s mentioned it before. So why not cash in on the ad revenue while simultaneously upgrading his security and showing us some interesting solutions.
The guy who spends most of his time putting holes in his house doesn't want to put a hole in his house.
Well he would've put another hole in the wall, if he had the right tools for it. I think that's the only reason, why the other doorbell was not already installed.
True dat bro.. Sell my ass too
Next episode: My house gets too cold in the winter. We need to fix all the holes and put more tech in it 😂
He’s afraid to go through the wrong hole
Nice recap! Now I don't need to watch the video anymore
I like watching Linus upgrading his home, there are a lot of ''Smart Home'' products that seem to be really gimmicky, so I hope to see more videos like this.
Ubiquiti is less "smart home" and more "Small Business Networking" (that power users often also use for their home. They're starting to release a few more home products, but as you say you can tell that they're not gimmicky "smart home" stuff, but actual legitimate products
Smart home is pretty much equal to waste of money
@@Atomy111 not really...
Honestly the local storage is a much bigger deal to me than the subscription fee, even if they are linked. I'm regularly angered that video doorbells don't allow standard camera access like most security cameras do for local PVR usage.
Exactly. Local video storage takes the third-party doctrine out of the picture, requiring a warrant for the footage.
@@gaykosmos8456 Enjoy it while it lasts. Ubiquiti may end up going the cloud storage route eventually in pursuit of profit.
I went with Eufy, it works great, I don’t have the ability or space for a server rack and Ethernet cables everywhere. But all the storage is local on the devices and it’s entirely optional to pay for a cloud service with them. That’s how it should be done.
@@marksapollo most home users don't need all that.

9:06 for those wondering
That's just kinda creepy having cameras everywhere inside

"It's wi-fi only." Well, I would think that having a cable granting access to your home network only protected by a plastic doorbell right at your front door would not be the greatest in security.
Oh you made a great point there
Nah, that’s crazy talk...
;)
To be fair, you would probably have that ethernet on an isolated VLAN anyway, and you'd pretty quickly discover a random ethernet cable hanging out on your front porch lol
You act as if Wi-Fi is very unsafe and like it'll just easily be worked around. It's safer than using some company's cloud server.
@@anastasiao4036 I didn't "acted" like that at all. Just pointed out that WiFi *is* safer than having an ethernet port at your door.

Hey Linus I don’t know where to tell you this but I’ve heard that you read a large majority of your comments so I just wanted to thank you so much for getting me into computer science. I am practically fixated on having a CS related job in the future and they pay nicely but most importantly I will get to do what I love, and I never would have known so much if it weren’t for you.

The look on Linus's face every time he drops something is like "I'm never gonna hear the end of this"
Hmmm I wonder why he thinks that 😜
He had the audacity to tell his kid that he crashed a lot in the hot wheels pc video, all I could think was “well at least he isn’t dropping everything”
Best neighbourhood ever, there's so many kids here
- Linus Sebastian
Why do you think he's putting up all the cameras xD
He heard that and came to the comments
I am pretty appalled by Ubiquity here in Bulgaria. I got a full "in wall AP" coverage of my house, used a PoE switch that died once - got replaced by the seller under warranty, then the new one died (bricked itself, cannot boot or reset) after warranty and apparently "nobody can service that, you have to buy a new one". What a crap policy and what a way to lose a customer :( It's a shame, as their products did a nice job.. Hey @Linus, you can tell them that in some places in the EU their business is not that good :(
Am I the only one who expected his doorbell to literally let out an electric shock or something
Thought so too from the title.
Well, kinda... I didn't expect it, but I'm still disappointed.
I guess it's illegal.
I'm also shocked I had to scroll down so much to get this kind of comment, I thought I were the only one too
I was hoping it would automatically detect friend or foe, and either electrocute the person or play a soothing jingle depending on the determination.
Based on the fact that everything about the title and thumbnail was designed to make you think that: No
Yeah me too
Next time: We watercooled our doorbell
Next time: We watercooled the electrical wire
After next time: We watercooled the watercooler
im pretty sure its possible and has somewhat of a point
So that's what you call it when someone goes around licking doorbells.
I do A/V installs for commercial applications, and we use a lot of Ubiquity products. It’s good stuff. Comes with nice hardware, well packaged, etc. I never stick around to see it after it’s up and running, but cool to see it in action.
I agree with Linus, I paying a subscription fee for my doorbell seems innately wrong.
Imagine trying to deliver something to Linus's house and when you ring the doorbell you instantly get 2000 volts of electricity sent through your entire body
Dang Justin y is everywhere again lol

I got to set up a ubiquiti camera setup for my work and want to upgrade our networking to ubiquiti soooo much, love these vids
I installed one of these about three months ago.....here's my quick review:
Functionally....it's excellent! It's been 100% reliable, the camera is amazing, and it integrates beautifully with my UniFi network.
Aesthetically...it seriously sucks! It's ugly white plastic and there's no way of hiding that. If you have an entry with nice door hardware or you just like the look of permanent, quality hardware around your entry, this thing is garishly cheap-looking.
I really hope Ubiquiti comes to realize that the market for smart doorbells isn't just techy nerds anymore...it includes homeowners who care about the appearance of their entrance.
For what it's worth, they sell shells in 6 different styles for the doorbell itself. :)
@@optiquest86 Thanks for the heads up! I don't think those were available back when I bought my doorbell. That certainly provides a lot more options to improve the look in some installations.
imagine paying a monthly service for a freaking doorbell lol
What's next is the question 😂
Considering the majority of these doorbell services do not let you host on your server and instead use the cloud, I wouldn't be surprised they want you to pay additional fees for using their storage.
He should just install cameras in the front along with a cheaper doorbell.
You know you're rolling in dough if you can afford to pay so much on a doorbell.
Imagine paying 300 bucks for a doorbell, plus a monthly fee. And if the company goes bankrupt or the product discontinued you have to replace your doorbell bc there's no way to use your own server.
Let’s pay a monthly fee to give a company our data. So many morons actually do this.

The nerve of someone asking me to pay for a subscription. I don't even pay for the hardware. Hey ubiquiti...
All the technology. But in the beginning of October you still have your Old C4 bulb Christmas lights hanging up. Maybe we should call this trailer park tech tips.
The doorbell button and chime are wired in series and pressing the button short-circuits it, fully completing the circuit to fully power the chime. The light bulb in the button lets a low enough current through that it doesnt affect the chime much but the video doorbell needs to draw a lot more power, hence the additional chime accessory so it can do that without the chime buzzing all the time.
Ay he's finally doing something simple, "and here's my UDM pro" 😂

"So no selling it to the cops" LMFAO God damn right Linus. Control your data folks.
Thank you for sharing how to keep away from annoying subscriptions services.
“Don’t you just hate monthly fees? Just get an entire server and put it in your house”
$199 cloud key plus from Ubuqiti as a minimum, or $299 for their network video recorder if you want more storage, wont exactly take long for getting rid of fees to pay for that. 4 nest cameras and a ring doorbell would end up as $280/year in fees. Along with the whole aspect of they will work till the hardware fails, rather than "they will work till the company gets bought and the new owner gets bored with it and decides to turn it off"
At this point, some of the stuff you might need to run as a server can be handled by a Raspberry Pi or 2 if the manufacturer is not trying to lock you into hard sales for pricier hardware.
Kbill do that
You don't have to by the UDM, you can get a Cloud Key gen2, get some other brand PoE switch on the cheap, and 1000' for Cat-5E.

Me: I bet neither glasswire nor PIA or freshbooks are the videos sponsor ...
At least they aren't as jimsterling says fee to pay
Pay an upfront cost to be able to pay more as subscription
He used his cable, that he pays EVERY MONTH, like a subscription and still has to pay hardware rental fees ( most likely) as the counter point to the Ring subscription. Ring subscription is a yearly fee and is way less than what you would pay for rental fees for cable hardware.
@@mask86 but you dont own that cable hardware, a new model comes out you get a free upgrade anything weird its not even troubleshooting the issue with the cable box they just replace it for as long as you have their service.

“Are you guys sick and tired of buying expensive”
Imma have to stop you right there.
hardware with subscriptions, yes. Classic case of not listening to the whole argument then assuming something they say is wrong. Buying something expensive in general is better than having some subscription on top of it.
Can we take a moment to appreciate that Linus actually dropped something and caught it for once at 6:48? "Not a word."
Sent mine back. Still missing too many features like needing the existing doorbell ringer, no remote ringers, etc. when compared to Ring. Hopefully, in a bit, they will add these features and more.
Everything else at my home is Ubiquity (Access points, routers, POE switches). Also, we have a UDM Pro with a drive bay for security, so it would be great to use the doorbell.
I love it how real Tech Engineers hate using technology in their home. While Tech Enthusiasts love using technology in their home.
those are massive rabbit holes and security traps, and few enthusiasts really acknowledge or understand it. It does not often suit an engineer needs because it mostly depends on services you can't control yourself. For instance, someone gifted me a RGB strip with a Bluetooth controller, problem is, I want to be able to control colors automatically without having to use their application. I wanted to create a controller myself but there was no specifications about how the strip worked and it was a shady brand no one knew about. I just ended not using those LEDs because of the lack of control.
Well, that’s why they are called enthusiast, also engineers usually love using technology at home, it just is DIY rather than brand name since you can make it look and work exactly the way you want
Idk, both my dad and uncle are electrical engineers they both use security cameras at home.
