Usually when I'm here to talk about a new Ubiquiti product, it's what's the
fastest, freakiest, craziest new Wi-Fi or the fastest network switch or or
whatever it is. Maybe it has RGB. But this time, it's not about how fast the
thing goes. It's about how loud it goes. This is the new Ubiquiti Unifi AI horn
speaker. And I mean, I don't think the box lies. It's It's a horn speaker. I'm
not really entirely sure. Oh my god, this thing is huge. why this thing
exists yet. I'm I'm hoping we can find out by the end of the video, but
supposedly this gosh darn speaker right
here can do a 120 dB of output. I I
suspect it's probably a health hazard to have it this close to your head when
it's on and it's ripping. I don't know what the sound quality is going to be
like. I just know that, man. I I saw it
on the Ubiquiti website and I was like, if I had to do like one last short
circuit on Earth, you know, before an apocalypse or whatever, this would have
to be it. This is just too too weird and too unexpected. So, on the front, we've
got I mean, there's a little Ubiquiti logo. I swear to God, if this thing doesn't have RGB, what a missed
opportunity. Like, imagine you could just like have have speakers in your,
you know, next to your computer for doing speaker stuff and they could like
do a dance party or something like that. On the back, we've got whatever I guess
you would call this. It's like the little dimples for the mounting doodad.
There's some screw holes. Very exciting. Very exciting. And then on the bottom,
that's where the actual like internet bits happened. You know what? I don't
know what that dot is. There's no label on that dot. But over here, we've got
what looks like probably the reset button. And last but not least, the spot
where the internet stuff, the Ethernets goes into the Ethernets. Uh it's
actually a cable gland specifically. What size does that say? If for whatever
reason you need to replace this thing, it's an M25x 1.5 thread uh cable gland.
So, this allows you to stick the Ethernet cable in and then clamp down on
the rubber that's inside there, which we'll see in a second. Stick the
Ethernet cable through there, clamp down on it, and that creates a watertight
seal because this whole thing, you know, I think it's meant to go outside. For
the unfamiliar, this is meant to tie into Ubiquiti's security products,
specifically um their like security cameras because you can make it work
with the AI alerts they have in their system. So, say if a person is detected
that doesn't match the facial recognition profile during this time,
make this speaker go away. I don't like you.
or maybe because you're a little bit lonely and you own way too many Ubiquiti
products, uh when you get home, if it recognizes you, it can be like, "Hey,
welcome home, Jake." That's that's not something I would need. And then inside
is the actual Ethernet port. It's a PoE plus input, so that's max of like 15-ish
watts. Uh supposedly the max actual power consumption of this device is
14.3, I suspect, when it's fully ripping. Um but it is only 100meg fast
Ethernet. It doesn't it doesn't need anything more than that. specifically because this thing is waterproof. It's
meant to go outside and hook in with their UniFi Protect camera system,
specifically IP66, which is good for like uh strong jets against the
enclosure and is supposedly dustproof. Um, it's made of, I believe,
polycarbonate. And then this feels like kind of like a cast aluminum. It's a
pretty it's pretty stout feeling thing. I don't think you'd be too too concerned
about this getting damaged outside. Can you take the front off? I don't know. We'll worry about that later. What else
is in the box? It's It's a pretty big box. Oh yeah. Whoa, there's stuff in
here. Oh god. Um. Oh god. Um, one
moment. I did this very wrong. Uh, mistakes were made. Okay, we've got
stuff. Propaganda as usual. We don't need that. What is this? Is there like a
brain box? Okay, actually this is a lot of stuff. We've got a pole mount here.
This is meant for well mounting on a pole. those little like jaggedy teeth
boys. Once you stick some bolts through there will squish it nice and tight and
grab onto whatever pole you want to mount onto. That sounded horrible. We've
got an attachment thing uh for angling it up and down, left and right. I don't
know what the full range of motion is. It says there's a 75 there. So, I
suspect it's 150° side to side. And this
are angles 45 and 45. And it has 90° of
vertical. Or I guess you could orient this thing sideways and have um the
opposite range of motion in the opposite axis if you want that. I believe this is
meant for drilling. Yeah, looks like those match up. That's a template. So
you can if you wanted to just bolt this right to a fence or a wall or whatever,
you've got a cutting template for that. It also holds I lost it, but it it does
come with a little um bubble level that sticks in here to allow you to level the
template, which is really a a nice touch, but not so nice if you drop it.
It's gone. Concrete anchors, Allen key
for the mount, and then these guys
all the hardware for the pole mount.
Beautiful. Beautiful. Look at that. And now you can have all of your wildest
pole dreams with your ubiquity AI horn speaker. I don't know. I still don't
know what this is for. I know what it is. >> It's a cover.
>> It's a cover. Cool. Little cover so it doesn't look so like industrial.
Okay, let's plug it in here. Look at this. Let me Let me show you how this
Let me show you how to play with your glands. The gland is tight. That Oh,
there we go. Oh, wow. This is a nice one. Sometimes they're just like um
stupid, but these ones actually like clip together so they're easier to take
apart. Okay, take your cable. You got to like make sure you stick all of the
things on in the correct order. So, it's got to go this guy first. You take the
little rubber thingy. You put it on. You clip it in. You stick the thingy over
the thingy. Uh yes, something like that.
Aha.
This is a process, but you want to make
sure it's not going to leak. Very important. And now it's getting squished
down and you're not going to get any water in there. Beautiful. Uh you can
then you can make sure that you're annoying your neighbor with this thing
um for many years to come. I'm thinking about you, Cash. I'm going to mount this
on the side of my house. Look, it's got a light. You see that? Look, it's got a
little light. That's so cute. Hey, let's see how this mount clips on here.
Oh, maybe you can't rotate them out. Maybe I lied. I It might only clip on
one way. You can't rotate the mount. I lied. Um, you get 90° of left and right
and 150° up and down. Those are your
options. It doesn't go the other way. Get wrecked. Get wrecked, nerds. But
there you go. You can see kind of how it She's a little limp right now, to be
honest.
Sad. I really hope that this thing has
like an option in the app where you can just talk into your phone and it yells
um for you because I think that if it doesn't have that going to be a no from
me, chief. Wow, it really like doesn't have a lot of options. Uh I'm going to
turn the volume way down. Set it to 10 10%. How loud do you think
this is going to be? The option just says test speaker.
>> Oh, it's only 10%. What's 50% like?
Okay, I can see how this would get very loud. What? What? What's like 100%.
It updates very fast.
Oh, that's awful. Oh my god, that is way
louder than 50%. That's 60. Dude, it gets loud. Really?
This is 69. Okay, that is starting to get
uncomfortable. That actually like kind of hurt my ear. That that 100%. That was
>> You deaf entice. that scared the out of them is what I did. So, I think this is
where this speaker is really meant to be used in the alarm manager thing. This is
where you can take any number of different triggers, whether it's um
values from their sense products, which I don't even know if are out yet. Some
of them definitely are. Um you can you can take AI audio detections from the
security cameras. You can take AI visual detections, facial recognition, all
these different things. someone using the admin panel and then plum those into
other things like say a notification on Slack or um in our case now I saw Jake
let's yell obscenities at him through
this speaker or or maybe nice things do we have a camera we have a camera oh
yeah this is cool actually this this camera right here I haven't done a short
circuit on this and you're never going to see one this is the AI LPR it's their
their new AI powered license plate reading camera. Look at the size of
that. Badonka donk. Holy balls. This
thing has like a crazy IR like setup so
that it can be better for reading license plates. I guess one of the use
cases for this is you put it at your like business parking garage gate and it
can scan license plates. You know, I guess really good accuracy and then you
could have the gate open and when the gate opens you could play a little
jingle on your speaker. Maybe this is like very intimidating looking. I'm not
gonna lie.

They'll have your phone asking, "Is that a rocket in your pocket?" Cuz boy, I'm
happy to see you. Their Pocket Rocket P50 is a teeny tiny 10,000 milliamp hour
power bank weighing at just about 160 grams. It can also deliver a maximum
output of 45 watts, charging your phone, laptop, or other electronics up quickly.
And with the included 60W cable that doubles as a lanyard, you'll get rocket
power in pocket size. Plus, it comes with a 3-year warranty. Check out the
Ino Pocket Rocket P50 using our link in the video description. Well, clearly
this thing is way too loud to use inside, uh, at least at max volume. So,
let's take it outside and see what it can do. Okay, we're outside. We're on
cellular, so we're not connected to the same network. We've got Reese over there
with some really gnarly earplugs in as our human seastand mount because I
didn't have time to mount the thing. And, uh, we're at 100% volume. I'm
probably like I'm like five E92 M3s away
from the speaker at this point. Hello. >> Hello. Wow.
>> Wow. >> That's really >> That's really >> loud.
>> Loud. >> I'm actually kind of shocked.
>> Over there. >> It really honestly sounds like genuinely
pretty clear. >> Like I can hear
>> totally over that horrible truck.
>> That's actually impressive. >> That's actually impressive. >> It is genuinely
very clear. like the fidelity of this
talking on my phone >> through a phone microphone through that
speaker over there through cellular. >> It's pretty low latency
>> and it's very loud. >> Wow.
>> It seems to have some sort of like feedback removal.
>> Like it's trying to not sound like it's
projecting into the microphone. Does it sound weird that I'm talking like this?
It's really hard to talk over yourself. Okay, let's go to the other side or or
let's keep going. We're now much further away. This is easily like 200 ft. We're
probably like we're probably maybe it's
not 200 feet, but we're like trying to count probably like 20 E92 M3s away. And
I'm going to load up Crab Rave on Glenn's phone here. I think that they
haven't really quite added all of the features in. I could see at some point
you being able to like upload an MP3 or whatever. Maybe you can do that in the
alarm manager. I can't do that right now. Here's Crab Rave through a different phone. It sounds terrible.
It's not working because it's trying to like do the noise cancellation thing.
Let's go to the It actually is honestly
kind of astonishingly good. I really
wish I could have played Crab Ray properly. It's just like just trying to like cut out so that it doesn't hear it
in the the background noise of the music. I get it, but like come on. Come
on. People from inside the office are starting to be concerned. People from
other businesses in the complex are starting to be concerned. It seems to be
like a bug where when you're on a remote network, you have to press talk and stop
twice for it to start working. Hello. >> Hello.
>> Oh my god. >> Oh my god.
>> I would just like to uh apologize to everyone in this business complex.
There's nothing to be alarmed about >> aside from this ubiquity AI horn speaker
being >> better than it has any business being. I
can totally hear what I'm saying from over here.
It's not like amazingly
clear, >> but it's loud enough that I can hear it.
>> Loud enough >> totally. >> And I'm very very far. I think they need
to like work on the um making the volume range a little bit
more linear cuz like this is 73% volume
and it's way quieter than 100%. And 50%
I can't even hear from here. Okay, I'm pairing a camera to this. I don't
actually know what that does, but we'll see in a moment. Maybe they'll just
start yapping to us. I don't know. If you detect a person in the AI LPR, play
a sound. You can just pick an audio file. In the AI manager, we've got our
LTT Store custom alarm. We've set it to the AI LPR camera when it detects a
person. I'll say vehicle and animal. Sure, why not? We'll we'll not know
which one it detects bell as. And then we're pick
>> There we go. Save. All right. Now, in theory, Mr. Bellance. Okay. Now, walk
into the frame.
>> lttstore.com.
>> You can also do it like based on glass breaks and stuff like that. Okay. All
right. Now back up again and then enter
one more time. One more time. >> lttstore.com.
>> That's That's only 85% volume. So this
thing seems to work really freaking well. It is loud. It works over PoE. Um
it's got a pretty wide ranging mount. I think if this is something you actually
have a use case for, I think that they could probably expand the feature set a
little bit more in the future. But if you want it to to scare people away in
the middle of night, if somebody's detected or you hear a glass break or or
whatever situation it is that you need something automated related to your
cameras or your sensors to play audio, this seems like it will do it and do it
pretty well. Uh it's almost like too good quality-wise. I I didn't hear any
distortion. Um it is $300.
I have no reference for what a like a
PoE What is this thing? a horn speaker. Like, what does that usually cost? Algo
88 8186 IP horn speaker. $850.
All right. So, maybe this is this is undercutting the market. I I don't know.
But what I do know is that I had a hell of a time trying it. And uh you should
