1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,160
are you guys sick and tired of buying

2
00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:10,800
expensive connected hardware only to be expected to pay a monthly subscription

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:15,200
fee for the right to freaking use it yeah me too which is why at every chance

4
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:19,920
i get i've been ridding my life of subscription fees and to help with that

5
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:25,439
today ubiquity the sponsor of this video sent over their sick

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:28,560
g4 video doorbell which i'll be using to

7
00:00:25,439 --> 00:00:28,560
replace this

8
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:34,800
travesty liability nightmare

9
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:41,480
of a doorbell that's been on my house presumably since it was built

10
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,480
how hard could it be

11
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:59,120
to level with you guys this really is my doorbell we changed

12
00:00:57,199 --> 00:01:02,480
absolutely nothing about it for this shoot not even the fact that it's

13
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:07,760
detached from the wall to be clear it does work

14
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:10,479
okay so it works but um

15
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:15,200
clearly i've been slacking now my original plan was actually to replace it

16
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:19,920
with a ring doorbell but what i realized when i went to install it was that

17
00:01:17,119 --> 00:01:23,520
because the ring doorbell has this back bit that needs to be

18
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:28,080
recessed into the wall unless i wanted to hang a box off of the brickwork here

19
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:30,400
which would have looked really ugly i was actually going to have to cut away

20
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:37,200
the brick and i didn't have the right tool for it so this ended up sitting on my to do workbench for

21
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:41,600
months to make matters worse with the ring you're actually required to pay a

22
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:46,640
monthly subscription fee something that i just personally find really offensive

23
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:51,439
when i pay for the hardware in the first place cable companies of all people are

24
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:55,439
not even that evil you just pay for the subscription and

25
00:01:53,360 --> 00:02:00,000
they drop off a cable box at your house how freaking hard is that

26
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:04,000
anyway okay i lost lost my thread again it gets

27
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:08,239
so mad now i can practically hear what you're thinking Ubiquiti's hardware

28
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:12,640
ain't exactly cheap but the beauty of it is that you kind of get the best of both

29
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:17,760
worlds you get 24 7 recording with easy access from anywhere through their app

30
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:22,239
but because the storage is local on a hard drive that's here in my house i

31
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:27,120
don't have to pay a cloud access fee in order to store my data and of course

32
00:02:24,959 --> 00:02:32,640
there's the added privacy benefit of that as well nobody else has all the

33
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:37,280
recordings of the inside for that matter outside of my home

34
00:02:34,959 --> 00:02:42,000
that means no you know selling it to the cops or whatever else

35
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,360
going on out there now's as good a time as i need to do an

36
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:50,239
unboxing then i guess so up at the top of this puppy you've got a two megapixel

37
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:53,599
1600 by 1200 camera you've got a couple of microphones so it actually does have

38
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:57,599
two-way voice that's a speaker down there at the bottom it has motion

39
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:01,519
sensing obviously a button for the doorbell this looks like one of

40
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:04,560
ubiquity's classic ring lights so that's probably going to tell us hey it's

41
00:03:02,959 --> 00:03:08,000
waiting to be adopted or it's connected or there's an error or whatever the case

42
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,280
may be and then this is cool it's got a little customizable

43
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:15,840
message uh little display here so i guess you could

44
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:19,040
be like hey leave it at the door if there's a delivery driver or whatever

45
00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:24,159
the case may be finally on the back there's not a whole

46
00:03:21,519 --> 00:03:27,760
lot shaken it's wi-fi only which was actually a bit of a surprise for me

47
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:31,519
given that it's ubiquity product usually they're like the power over Ethernet

48
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:35,519
kings but it's wi-fi only and then you're expected to power it with your

49
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:40,159
low voltage ac wiring that you would presumably already have for your

50
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:42,560
existing doorbell which fortunately i do

51
00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:47,040
also in the box you've got a little mounting plate with its own level in it

52
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:52,879
nice you've got a what does that look like about a 20 25

53
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:57,360
degree 20 degree angle mount which i'm definitely going to use in order to kind

54
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:00,799
of point it more towards whoever's actually at the door and i have no idea

55
00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:05,920
what these are they're just adapters for wiring wiring

56
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:07,280
adapters and then so much silica gel do

57
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:11,840
not eat do not eat any of it sorry andy i was

58
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:15,840
just trying to make a point don't eat it step one

59
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:21,040
break her off this was like

60
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:23,919
the best afternoon investment of my life

61
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:27,919
i spent like several hours i flipped off every single breaker in my

62
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:33,440
house and then i spent several hours flipping them on one by one

63
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:34,800
and going and figuring out exactly

64
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:41,120
what's hooked up to what because the previous owners did such a bad job of it

65
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:43,919
uh it's not a map map but it's like

66
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:48,400
it's perfect it's all i could possibly need

67
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,400
doorbell 21.

68
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:58,080
uh sorry give me one sec i need to grab a screwdriver all right so

69
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:01,600
look at the way the uv degraded the plastic here isn't that incredible

70
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:07,440
just just crumbling away this isn't even that old

71
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:11,199
this beautiful wall plate can probably go

72
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:14,960
oh no i just wanted to see if it was like

73
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:17,360
flexi because it was like warped it doesn't matter the point is it's dead

74
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:22,880
now all right uh where'd those instructions go oh

75
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:28,880
they're in my back pocket okay what's going on here oh wait what

76
00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:34,320
this thing goes on the wall inside

77
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:38,160
receiver i see

78
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:42,400
so that actually rings the doorbell with your ringer inside

79
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:45,919
okay it seems kind of over engineered but

80
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:52,080
whatever i mean i'm not gonna they're actually pretty standard in

81
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:56,160
installs now are they really okay there no no no it's good it's good so this

82
00:05:54,400 --> 00:06:00,800
comes through here i think like kind of there-ish so in the

83
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,680
hardware package we've got four screws

84
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,800
are these all the same length no a couple of them are longer so if you're

85
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:10,800
using the angled adapter which i do need then

86
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:14,479
we'll need that one and then a couple of anchors so we're going to put these into

87
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:19,759
the mortar and attach this i guess

88
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:23,280
the best neighborhood ever totally by accident there's so many kids here

89
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:33,479
boy all right i need a hammer

90
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:43,120
this poor copper is gonna fatigue failure break on me here

91
00:06:39,919 --> 00:06:44,639
okay um so that's there

92
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:51,039
and then this mounting plate

93
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:51,039
goes right around

94
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,840
here here

95
00:06:55,199 --> 00:07:01,479
not a word uh wrong bit

96
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,479
ah yes

97
00:07:23,599 --> 00:07:29,160
let me get these little forks on here

98
00:07:31,039 --> 00:07:36,080
curiously it doesn't appear to

99
00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:39,280
be powered yeah it's because you turned off the breaker right

100
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:43,400
hey there we go

101
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:52,160
got that little ubiquity logo on there got that provisioning thing on there i

102
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:53,360
actually have no idea how to

103
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:58,319
add this to my oh hello starting up come come

104
00:07:56,879 --> 00:08:04,319
come come come come get it it's doing stuff ready for setup how fun is that

105
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:08,800
uh well i already have a ubiquity app of some sort

106
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:11,199
i have UniFi protect okay here we go

107
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:14,720
um and so what do i do

108
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:22,479
ready for setup okay uh add cameras

109
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:27,440
oh look at that would you look at that

110
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:30,720
setup cameras

111
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:32,240
it has such pretty little sounds

112
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:37,839
name your camera do you have a chime box using with chime

113
00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:42,560
box settings enabled but without a chime box can cause serious damage to the

114
00:08:40,159 --> 00:08:47,760
device okay i definitely have a chime box

115
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:52,480
are you sure you want to install with chimebox settings enabled yes

116
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:58,240
okay to receive notifications enable sure

117
00:08:55,120 --> 00:09:00,720
push notifications

118
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:05,839
hello hey look my wife's working

119
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:10,080
look at that see look at her working like that let's

120
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:15,680
see if she picks her nose it's now updated and connecting to the

121
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:18,800
wi-fi again and it's done

122
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:20,240
so we can go all the way from wow

123
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:25,519
actually i'm that is a wide angle

124
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:29,040
that's a wide angle camera it can see me

125
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:33,839
here i am literally in line with the wall

126
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:37,600
isn't that crazy all right so then by the time i'm here

127
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:42,800
it's actually got a pretty good look at me and then it's got me all the way to the

128
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:48,800
point where i am standing at the door that's fantastic you got a parcel here

129
00:09:45,839 --> 00:09:54,160
oh come on in here though andy okay the ringer box is

130
00:09:50,399 --> 00:09:54,160
flipping out right now can you hear it

131
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:59,279
oh yeah colin do you want to kick it one more time

132
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,800
okay it's amazing how quick that notification

133
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:09,760
comes through but yeah i can see what's happening it's not quite giving it

134
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:14,240
current for long enough to bop the bottom plate here

135
00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:18,959
so unfortunately there's no obvious way in the app right now to tune this so you

136
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:22,800
can adjust the night vision oh did i mention it has night vision i mean like

137
00:10:21,279 --> 00:10:26,160
all the other cameras that i have set up but yeah it has night vision uh you know

138
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:30,399
overlays status sounds microphones stuff like

139
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:33,839
that but there's nothing about how long it sends this pulse for should i just

140
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:39,040
like stick that right there anything does that look okay or you know what i could probably just

141
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:43,600
like tuck this in here right think i can get away with that

142
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:47,680
oh yeah clean

143
00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:52,720
on a pro tip from ubiquity i took out my 10 volt amp transformer and replaced it

144
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:57,440
with a 30 volt amp and

145
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,440
yay

146
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:04,640
all that magic doesn't happen on its own though one of the requirements for

147
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:10,079
Ubiquiti setup is some kind of controller so for myself i've got their

148
00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:13,839
udm pro or dream machine pro so there's my hard drive bay that's what stores the

149
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:17,200
data from all of my cameras it's got a built-in eight-port switch as well as

150
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:20,959
this up link here that goes to my fiber box from my isp and then it also links

151
00:11:19,839 --> 00:11:25,760
up with my other switches here including uh this

152
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:29,760
usw pro so that handles power over Ethernet for all my cameras and PoE

153
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:33,680
powered switches and that stuff hey colin want to go ahead

154
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:38,160
okay so we're we're simulating the experience here we go i'm sitting here

155
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:41,440
at my computer if i happen to be watching it i would

156
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:45,440
actually see him there but doorbell ring

157
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:50,320
there we go notification on the phone

158
00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:55,279
somebody is at your front door you got a delivery for me there yeah

159
00:11:52,399 --> 00:11:59,600
yeah it looks like uh some ltgstore.com hey lttstore.com hey just because it's a

160
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,160
sponsored video doesn't mean we're not going to sneak that in there is it good

161
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:06,160
stuff oh it looks great i mean there's a little model

162
00:12:07,839 --> 00:12:12,560
all right thanks colin oh oh this is cool i haven't actually

163
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:16,160
tried this yet leave package at door do not disturb

164
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:20,000
custom message so you can just throw whatever you want up there that is so

165
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:22,880
cool and it stays for one minute oh cool i could have also used my

166
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:27,040
computer for this so there's the two-way voice activation here i can take a

167
00:12:24,399 --> 00:12:32,079

really big one for me i like being able to have the time on my my camera feed

172
00:12:48,079 --> 00:12:53,680

one of these views where you've got a whole bunch of different cameras so it's

right there you can adjust the frame rate and bit rate though i set it to 30

00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:09,200
FPS you can tell it when to record how motion events should trigger things

177
00:13:07,279 --> 00:13:12,720
uh which zones you want to have be your motion zones like i wouldn't want this

178
00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:15,519
one to necessarily uh you know ping me every time something goes on over here

00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,760
firmware updates you can disable the microphone it's pretty cool

181
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:26,800
