I personally love the Unifi ecosystem. The UI is very user friendly and simple but powerful, they've set it up well. I recommend them on a regular basis for both regular home use and small business.
For a deployment of this type I would avoid using a Dream Machine, PoE or no PoE. For why? Dream Machines' inbuild 8 port switch is feature and throughput challenged, a known issue. Rather I'd use a UXG-PRO/UCK-G2-SSD combo. Many years ago I put a network into a leading motor cycle dealer/race team/tuner, Because they were doing, I think TIG welding, we had to use fibre cabling an shield off the welding bay. The tenant upstairs was a radio station and sensitive to interference.
The rack placement vs patch panel is confusing - why not just put the patch panel above the switch and use short patch cables. The tracing of longer cables through multiple u’s is not only unsightly it’s also a pain in the ass to fault find
hes already got a full unifi setup in his own house. he fully understands ubiquiti. ive personally got a udm se with several u7 aps hooked up to a usw pro max. there are no bottleneck issues
@sojirou Sure the design isn’t perfect, but the equipment he chose will only support 1g ports from the switches chose too unless he goes directly into the agg switch lol
So glad you put this video up. Was updating my wifi at home and was looking at ubiquiti but ended up going with a TP link mesh. You confirmed ubiquiti is way too complicated for me to set up and my choice for home was the right one!
I was hoping for something directional. With that much open space, and if the APs are celing mounted, directional APs would perform better than omnidirectional APs.
I don't know about Ubiquiti. It makes setting up Cisco Switches easy compared to this Ubiquiti network that GS is building. Although, Ubiquiti has some cool features like the AR with the IPhone to visualize the switches.
Product availability has really screwed the customer in this case. Just from a quick search for the products: Aggregation Switch ($491), GEN2 USW-16-POE ($505), USW-24-POE ($659), UDM-SE ($930). Total $2585 It's a shame you couldn't get USW-48-POE ($1050) (with 200W power budget) and UDM PRO ($700) for $1750 and save them money, room in the rack, and the data/power bottlenecks the gear. It appears available online now, I guess it was out of stock when the video was made. The non-Pro switches you've got are also capped by the 1gb SFP ports, but you've said that's not a concern. The only 10gb links in this vid are between the UDM Pro SE (which has a switch bottlenecked by a 1gb backplane) and the UNVR Pro, could you have just linked up the switches and skipped the Aggregation switch? I note that the UDM Pro could also take a large hard drive and run Protect (it would support up to 14x 2K cameras), in the same way there is a dedicated device with 7 small hard drives in it (which I assume cost the customer another $2000). I enjoyed the video, but I can't rationalize the gear choices.

I love how you've explain everything, I'm planning on building a home lab for personal developer work and learning cloud while in college!
I went into this video knowing very little about any of this but you’ve explained everything really clearly! Nice work as always!!

9:42 learned that the hard way 😂😂
Always down for some Unifi content. Love using their stuff!
One thing to note if you’re connecting up the APs to the UDM SE is the 1Gb backplane which may become a bottleneck.
It won't be

Correct, lerger number of WAP's should be on a switch.
@@larrydysondev Because you are using it in a domestic situation.
Would it not have been simpler/cheaper to use a single 48 port switch?
As mentioned availability with Unifi gear here in Australia can be tricky at times.
Great job 👍🏻
Ubiquiti really came through on this one, 180W PoE, I'm a bit jealous.
We asked for more Audi, we got more Audi. Quality content.
There is more Audi coming lol. Bigger turbo is on the way 😉
nice, interesting to watch how a network is planned and set up looking forward to the next one. thank you.
10:45 This question can be answered by looking at the specs page
awesome work

Love these videos.
thanks waiting for second part too
love the setup. im excited to see the layout of APs given my network at home requires 10 aps for full coverage lol
Great video fams!
Good stuff.
Nice Nissan Altima!
Nice 👍
Hell yeah!!!!!
Nice ❤
Oh wow, another Unifi stack.....
As a car guy and a IT guy who loves tech and networking now this is my jam😂
We cover Warehouses with over 100.000m² with Wireless, those are massive.😁
Poe on the dream struggles with enterprise wifi and why no redundancy sp+10
Unifi 🗣️
Unifi networking and Aussie performace cars in the same video is a dream come true!
Super cool video! As soon as it started, I though which AP would they go with. My first thought was U6 Enterprise or U6 Pro 👍
I was hoping for something directional. With that much open space, and if the APs are celing mounted, directional APs would perform better than omnidirectional APs.
Semi-unrelated, but tell me about your Audi. Model, specs? Would you buy it again?
Audi RS3 that is pretty modified. The list is long and is about to get longer as I've just bought a bigger turbo for it
Nice ad. #sponsored

Cisco is okay if you're okay with paying for pointless licensing. Ubiquitis business model is much better. I've been using them for a long time.
@@GearSeekers not entirely pointless…amazing support and proven reliability is worth it if you are a large company
why not just use mikrotik for rout-
oh nevermind this sh1t is sponsored by ubiquiti
Yo first
Yes, mistakes made, plenty of little things and yes, rack layout is not clean.
You obviously charge your customers too much if you can afford all that over priced gimmicky networking kit.
UniFi kit is cheap and has no licensing fees,
unifi is pretty cheap lol
