1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,600
by the time this video is out the problem will be solved so i guess it's

2
00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:11,679
okay to tell you guys this but my home video surveillance system is

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:14,240
horrible i've got three nest cams that

4
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:18,480
like some of them even have stuff blocking their view of the door and i

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:23,199
don't even pay the subscription because i think that's ridiculous and they're

6
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:28,800
just this is how they're installed they're just like sitting on stuff

7
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:34,559
with like loose usb cables plugged into the wall it is definitely

8
00:00:32,239 --> 00:00:39,120
time for an upgrade and this is going to be quite the

9
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:44,399
upgrade ladies and gentlemen we are going full

10
00:00:40,559 --> 00:00:46,079
unify ooh home security today

11
00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:50,160
and the video is brought to you by the aorus 15g gaming notebook features

12
00:00:48,079 --> 00:00:54,399
Intel's 10th gen processors strong performance great battery life and many

13
00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:57,879
features check it out at the link today in the video description

14
00:01:05,439 --> 00:01:11,200
the first camera we're going to mount is probably the most obvious one a nice

15
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:14,799
high quality look down the end of the driveway that covers the whole front

16
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:20,240
yard and for that i'm going to use the g4 pro this is a 4k camera it's got a 3x

17
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:24,960
optical zoom apparently the image quality on this thing is just

18
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:31,680
absolutely fabulous it's got a large sensor high-powered infrared leds for

19
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:33,680
night vision and it's ip67 waterproof so

20
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:37,600
i can mount it pretty much wherever i want which raises the question

21
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:45,200
hon where do you want to put this thing it is way bigger than i thought it's big

22
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:45,200
it's like not small so there's that

23
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:51,520
over here yeah right in the middle right in the middle

24
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:55,680
i don't think i have any masonry mounting

25
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:58,640
nor do i have any obvious way to get an Ethernet cable down here so this thing

26
00:01:57,759 --> 00:02:02,560
is uh power over Ethernet powered

27
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,719
whoops that's the second time today yeah

28
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:10,560
i'm trying all right trying to drop things see if we can do

29
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:13,840
this theoretically and i lied i do have masonry bits i just really didn't want

30
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:18,959
to do that theoretically they include

31
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:23,440
everything we need so we got some pinner looking anchors

32
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:26,879
we got some screws and then you undo the back of it and you

33
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:30,879
mount this puppy a little something like that use a seven millimeter bit

34
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,840
i actually don't know how i'm supposed to make a mark with this thing they show

35
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,760
you just putting a pencil through the hole but it doesn't fit now you might

36
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:42,160
think a mechanical pencil is the solution of this problem you'd be right

37
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:47,760
but how about another solution to this problem okay i sharpie the tip of

38
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:51,840
a paper clip and then stick that through the hole wait is that centered that

39
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,840
looks pretty centered right

40
00:02:55,599 --> 00:03:00,840
okay is that so ugly it's pretty ugly

41
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:13,200
yeah i have some leftover black cat 5e my

42
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:13,200
issue is i don't know if this is enough

43
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:20,159
i mean yes technically i could put a switch there

44
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:23,040
yes technically i could put a switch there actually that's an interesting

45
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:28,560
thought so ubiquity actually sent over a few of

46
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:32,959
these they're called their nanoswitch and basically it's a PoE powered PoE

47
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,000
switch so you just run your power over Ethernet

48
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:41,440
and that powers this device and then also powers

49
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:45,120
up to three more devices coming off of it we could do up to two of those off of

50
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:50,400
one of these so maybe this switch can be for the doorbell that's

51
00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:53,760
later date and this one here yeah it would save me doing a separate run for

52
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:58,480
the doorbell actually see you're brilliant my love

53
00:03:56,159 --> 00:04:02,159
all right fine there's lots of reasons i keep you

54
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:05,040
around put that in there

55
00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:11,439
now just pull this up

56
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:14,480
tighten the ring oh look at that look at that

57
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:18,320
professional mounting job right there normally you

58
00:04:16,799 --> 00:04:22,400
would pull mount these little PoE switches here but

59
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:25,680
um i'm mounting it indoors so i really just want to wall mount it but i don't

60
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:31,680
have any screws that are small enough for these stupid hanging holes here

61
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:35,040
and they don't include any hardware so i'm just gonna widen these

62
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:40,720
yeah that seems fine okay

63
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:48,850
um hi there's the real problem child

64
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,840
i'm calling two screws enough for this

65
00:04:55,280 --> 00:05:02,400
i learned from brian the electrician that real men don't need hammers

66
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,400
everything's a hammer

67
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:10,960
so pewee one right there

68
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:13,199
okay i need more

69
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:16,479
okay good job kiddo

70
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:25,440
i bet you can figure it out your smart girl look at that

71
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:28,000
okay both of those are done now

72
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:31,759
i just got to make my way back and take up all that extra slack just spent an

73
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:35,840
hour on this and i wish ubiquity would have saved me some trouble and not sent

74
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:41,280
incompatible gear over the nano switch requires 24 volt passive PoE and that

75
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:53,440
new switch their new pro switch is only 48 volt

76
00:05:53,440 --> 00:06:00,160
so this doesn't work fortunately

77
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:04,560
i have an Ethernet coupler and i just joined together the two runs that i had

78
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:08,800
intended to run to the switch and this is pretty cool

79
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:14,000
that is our front driveway live and there is

80
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:18,400
so much cool stuff that you can do we've got all the same controls as before so

81
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:22,479
i'm gonna go ahead and throw it in 4k uh we can play around with the zoom

82
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:25,120
i personally kind of like the wider view and i think i might even shift it over

83
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:29,919
to the right a little bit and then there's a bunch of other stuff that you can change in here so under general you

84
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:34,720
can have it overlay the camera name and the time which i thought was pretty useful

85
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:38,880
you can change the bit rate frame rate under recording you can decide when you

86
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:43,360
want to record so if you set it to motion events you can set different zones

87
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:46,240
so instead of the default zone you could get rid of that you could just have the

88
00:06:45,039 --> 00:06:52,000
street zone you could say look i only want to record when there's something going on out in the street for example

89
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:55,840
and then you can get rid of it and you can disable the microphone if you want but i'd just as soon leave it on

90
00:06:54,800 --> 00:07:00,160
personally actually kind of curious

91
00:06:58,639 --> 00:07:05,199
oh yeah can hear all the birds chirping

92
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:08,800
that's crazy that looks so good

93
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:12,639
let's put up another one one of the reasons i was so annoyed that

94
00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:16,880
this wasn't gonna work out for me was that i had intended to run just one

95
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:21,759
cable over to the back corner of the house and run a number of security

96
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:26,240
cameras off of it well okay here's the problem i didn't request those things in

97
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:32,160
the first place this is the one i asked for the usw flex this one should be able

98
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:36,800
to handle what i want just fine so we're good naturally though after

99
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:41,199
that last experience we're gonna do a sanity check here and

100
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:45,120
make sure we can actually run a camera off this thing because if we don't do

101
00:07:43,039 --> 00:07:50,639
the sanity check and it doesn't work and i go and run a bunch of cabling and blow

102
00:07:47,599 --> 00:07:53,840
an hour i might go insane it's my insane

103
00:07:50,639 --> 00:07:56,879
smile how am i doing

104
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,879
thanks i guess

105
00:07:57,199 --> 00:08:02,720
there we go nice

106
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:07,919
i knew i planned this out that thing supports a maximum of 46

107
00:08:04,879 --> 00:08:10,319
watts and each of these g4 pros is a

108
00:08:07,919 --> 00:08:15,599
maximum of 12 and a half watts so i can power three of these off that one switch

109
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:19,199
sick okay if i fall make sure you get my good side on the way down hey

110
00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:27,319
okay here's the plan camera's kind of going over here and over here and this kind of

111
00:08:23,599 --> 00:08:27,319
mounted here

112
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:36,719
and that is never coming off again i just gotta crotch this camera one moment

113
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:41,519
please oh please tell me that fits through there you gotta be kidding me boy that

114
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,399
is one tight fit

115
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,480
that's what she said baby

116
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:55,600
sweet not bad well this is about to get real

117
00:08:54,560 --> 00:09:00,160
interesting here's the problem i can't get at that

118
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:04,560
from the top so the only way for us to get the cable through is for me to drill

119
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:08,880
from under here and have someone

120
00:09:06,959 --> 00:09:13,360
be up there at the top uh kind of trying to snake the cable through from about an

121
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:17,839
ARM's length away can i i'm all geared up ready for the climb

122
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:21,040
here we go leaving the world behind

123
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:26,240
yep this is awesome this is exactly how i

124
00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:29,760
imagined i'd be spending my night sorry you're saying this is how you

125
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:37,240
imagined being married to me was gonna be yeah laying in rat poop

126
00:09:33,839 --> 00:09:37,240
i see it

127
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:45,519
see it not quite okay wait other hand yep yep i

128
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:50,600
got it got it nice don't pull too hard

129
00:09:45,519 --> 00:09:50,600
on that i'm at the top of a ladder okay

130
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:58,399
okay here we go do you think it's going to light up we got a light that's something

131
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:05,200
show me the don't show me the rings are they both white are they flashing white

132
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,360
they're both flashing light yep

133
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:17,200
4k ultra hd that is sick

134
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:20,720
that's good doesn't it i also want to check out the app so

135
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:26,240
they've got a separate app for the security stuff so it actually looks

136
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:28,640
almost exactly like the nest app in terms of the view

137
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:32,880
um but without any subscription because we're

138
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:36,640
just recording to a local hard drive which is sick we've got our full

139
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:41,600
timeline so the one we installed at the beginning of the day

140
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,600
there you go

141
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:49,200
and it's dark now for obvious reasons i'm

142
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:52,000
gonna move these cameras and i'm installing the other nine of them

143
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:58,079
without showing you guys where i'm putting them like doi but that's pretty

144
00:10:54,959 --> 00:11:00,000
much the process and overall i am super

145
00:10:58,079 --> 00:11:03,519
stoked with this so far although i'm sure if you guys follow on twitter i'll

146
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:08,160
let you know if i have any complaints about it moving forward
