WEBVTT

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

00:00:03.280 --> 00:00:11.679
okay to tell you guys this but my home video surveillance system is

00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:14.240
horrible i've got three nest cams that

00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:18.480
like some of them even have stuff blocking their view of the door and i

00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:23.199
don't even pay the subscription because i think that's ridiculous and they're

00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:28.800
just this is how they're installed they're just like sitting on stuff

00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:34.559
with like loose usb cables plugged into the wall it is definitely

00:00:32.239 --> 00:00:39.120
time for an upgrade and this is going to be quite the

00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:44.399
upgrade ladies and gentlemen we are going full

00:00:40.559 --> 00:00:46.079
unify ooh home security today

00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:50.160
and the video is brought to you by the aorus 15g gaming notebook features

00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:54.399
Intel's 10th gen processors strong performance great battery life and many

00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:57.879
features check it out at the link today in the video description

00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:11.200
the first camera we're going to mount is probably the most obvious one a nice

00:01:09.360 --> 00:01:14.799
high quality look down the end of the driveway that covers the whole front

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

00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:24.960
optical zoom apparently the image quality on this thing is just

00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:31.680
absolutely fabulous it's got a large sensor high-powered infrared leds for

00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:33.680
night vision and it's ip67 waterproof so

00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:37.600
i can mount it pretty much wherever i want which raises the question

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

00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:45.200
it's like not small so there's that

00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:51.520
over here yeah right in the middle right in the middle

00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:55.680
i don't think i have any masonry mounting

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

00:01:57.759 --> 00:02:02.560
is uh power over Ethernet powered

00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:06.719
whoops that's the second time today yeah

00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:10.560
i'm trying all right trying to drop things see if we can do

00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:13.840
this theoretically and i lied i do have masonry bits i just really didn't want

00:02:11.920 --> 00:02:18.959
to do that theoretically they include

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:23.440
everything we need so we got some pinner looking anchors

00:02:21.760 --> 00:02:26.879
we got some screws and then you undo the back of it and you

00:02:25.440 --> 00:02:30.879
mount this puppy a little something like that use a seven millimeter bit

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

00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:37.760
you just putting a pencil through the hole but it doesn't fit now you might

00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:42.160
think a mechanical pencil is the solution of this problem you'd be right

00:02:40.480 --> 00:02:47.760
but how about another solution to this problem okay i sharpie the tip of

00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:51.840
a paper clip and then stick that through the hole wait is that centered that

00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:51.840
looks pretty centered right

00:02:55.599 --> 00:03:00.840
okay is that so ugly it's pretty ugly

00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:13.200
yeah i have some leftover black cat 5e my

00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:13.200
issue is i don't know if this is enough

00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:20.159
i mean yes technically i could put a switch there

00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:23.040
yes technically i could put a switch there actually that's an interesting

00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:28.560
thought so ubiquity actually sent over a few of

00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:32.959
these they're called their nanoswitch and basically it's a PoE powered PoE

00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:38.000
switch so you just run your power over Ethernet

00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:41.440
and that powers this device and then also powers

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

00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:50.400
one of these so maybe this switch can be for the doorbell that's

00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:53.760
later date and this one here yeah it would save me doing a separate run for

00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:58.480
the doorbell actually see you're brilliant my love

00:03:56.159 --> 00:04:02.159
all right fine there's lots of reasons i keep you

00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:05.040
around put that in there

00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:11.439
now just pull this up

00:04:08.720 --> 00:04:14.480
tighten the ring oh look at that look at that

00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:18.320
professional mounting job right there normally you

00:04:16.799 --> 00:04:22.400
would pull mount these little PoE switches here but

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

00:04:23.840 --> 00:04:31.680
have any screws that are small enough for these stupid hanging holes here

00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:35.040
and they don't include any hardware so i'm just gonna widen these

00:04:35.840 --> 00:04:40.720
yeah that seems fine okay

00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:48.850
um hi there's the real problem child

00:04:50.320 --> 00:04:53.840
i'm calling two screws enough for this

00:04:55.280 --> 00:05:02.400
i learned from brian the electrician that real men don't need hammers

00:04:59.440 --> 00:05:02.400
everything's a hammer

00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:10.960
so pewee one right there

00:05:07.520 --> 00:05:13.199
okay i need more

00:05:10.960 --> 00:05:16.479
okay good job kiddo

00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:25.440
i bet you can figure it out your smart girl look at that

00:05:22.880 --> 00:05:28.000
okay both of those are done now

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

00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:35.840
hour on this and i wish ubiquity would have saved me some trouble and not sent

00:05:33.440 --> 00:05:41.280
incompatible gear over the nano switch requires 24 volt passive PoE and that

00:05:39.440 --> 00:05:53.440
new switch their new pro switch is only 48 volt

00:05:53.440 --> 00:06:00.160
so this doesn't work fortunately

00:05:57.520 --> 00:06:04.560
i have an Ethernet coupler and i just joined together the two runs that i had

00:06:02.080 --> 00:06:08.800
intended to run to the switch and this is pretty cool

00:06:06.960 --> 00:06:14.000
that is our front driveway live and there is

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

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

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

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

00:06:28.960 --> 00:06:34.720
can have it overlay the camera name and the time which i thought was pretty useful

00:06:32.960 --> 00:06:38.880
you can change the bit rate frame rate under recording you can decide when you

00:06:37.440 --> 00:06:43.360
want to record so if you set it to motion events you can set different zones

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

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

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

00:06:54.800 --> 00:07:00.160
personally actually kind of curious

00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:05.199
oh yeah can hear all the birds chirping

00:07:03.440 --> 00:07:08.800
that's crazy that looks so good

00:07:06.960 --> 00:07:12.639
let's put up another one one of the reasons i was so annoyed that

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

00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:21.759
cable over to the back corner of the house and run a number of security

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

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

00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:36.800
to handle what i want just fine so we're good naturally though after

00:07:34.880 --> 00:07:41.199
that last experience we're gonna do a sanity check here and

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

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

00:07:47.599 --> 00:07:53.840
an hour i might go insane it's my insane

00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:56.879
smile how am i doing

00:07:53.840 --> 00:07:56.879
thanks i guess

00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:02.720
there we go nice

00:08:00.400 --> 00:08:07.919
i knew i planned this out that thing supports a maximum of 46

00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:10.319
watts and each of these g4 pros is a

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

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

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

00:08:23.599 --> 00:08:27.319
mounted here

00:08:31.280 --> 00:08:36.719
and that is never coming off again i just gotta crotch this camera one moment

00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:41.519
please oh please tell me that fits through there you gotta be kidding me boy that

00:08:40.640 --> 00:08:44.399
is one tight fit

00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:48.480
that's what she said baby

00:08:50.880 --> 00:08:55.600
sweet not bad well this is about to get real

00:08:54.560 --> 00:09:00.160
interesting here's the problem i can't get at that

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

00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:08.880
from under here and have someone

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

00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:17.839
ARM's length away can i i'm all geared up ready for the climb

00:09:15.760 --> 00:09:21.040
here we go leaving the world behind

00:09:20.160 --> 00:09:26.240
yep this is awesome this is exactly how i

00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:29.760
imagined i'd be spending my night sorry you're saying this is how you

00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:37.240
imagined being married to me was gonna be yeah laying in rat poop

00:09:33.839 --> 00:09:37.240
i see it

00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:45.519
see it not quite okay wait other hand yep yep i

00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:50.600
got it got it nice don't pull too hard

00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:50.600
on that i'm at the top of a ladder okay

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

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

00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:07.360
they're both flashing light yep

00:10:11.040 --> 00:10:17.200
4k ultra hd that is sick

00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:20.720
that's good doesn't it i also want to check out the app so

00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:26.240
they've got a separate app for the security stuff so it actually looks

00:10:23.680 --> 00:10:28.640
almost exactly like the nest app in terms of the view

00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:32.880
um but without any subscription because we're

00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:36.640
just recording to a local hard drive which is sick we've got our full

00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:41.600
timeline so the one we installed at the beginning of the day

00:10:39.040 --> 00:10:41.600
there you go

00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:49.200
and it's dark now for obvious reasons i'm

00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:52.000
gonna move these cameras and i'm installing the other nine of them

00:10:50.560 --> 00:10:58.079
without showing you guys where i'm putting them like doi but that's pretty

00:10:54.959 --> 00:11:00.000
much the process and overall i am super

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

00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:08.160
