Huge Unifi protect , Access and Network install

[@enak187]

Try a disposable shower cap to keep the AP’s clean.

[@pitsnipe5559]

Nice work on dressing those cables. Always think of my old trade school teacher who emphasized that we always do our work in a neat and workman like manner. Love the job site videos only they make me wish I could rewire my house as the guys who did it when it was built were nowhere near your level of workmanship.

[@MactelecomNetworks]

It definitely takes time to get good at dressing cabling. This is a strange build as well. They really only needed 10 cables terminated to get up and running for Tuesday but it looks better bundled in 24 I’ll be doing 1-2 more videos on this job site

[@archjapanmotovlogs]

Cody looking forward to see the final video on this one mate looks like a huge install, grtz from Japan

[@chipsanders1603]

Camera in Airbnb... YIKES!

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Well they won’t be using the camera if it’s an airbnb lol The top floor has changed designs a bunch of times but originally there was a camera there

[@eastkentuckylabs]

Excellent job Cody!

[@infi2723]

i love when he talks to the camera and stares into my soul

[@MactelecomNetworks]

😂

[@timgshepherd]

I recently got a UDM-Pro, USW-24 POE for my home rack. A few tricks in your videos definitely helped me out. keep it up mate!

[@elykk18]

At 1:51 mark you show an AP 'right there' on the 2nd floor. I would treat AP's like lightbulbs, and you wouldn't put a light bulb next to that A/C duct. I would lower it just beneath if you can with some all-thread, or move it. I'm also seeing some metal mesh on certain spots, that might cause some unexpected blocking of RF possibly, so watch out for that when/if you do an after-install wireless passive survey etc. Thanks for the video

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Unfortunately this place is riddled with metal as it’s a pretty secure building. I’ll be doing heatmap scans once the build is finished and if we have to cut holes and move APs we will

[@ericrsa2348]

Professional Work as usual !!!

[@JasonsLabVideos]

Looking Good Cody ! Nice work !

[@jfkastner]

Well done! IMHO a service loop above the wall mount rack would be better since the cables are 'out of the danger zone' and it looks cleaner

[@jbdragon3295]

I have the same rack I installed a month ago. Well mine is a 12U and this is the 15U version. It’s adjustable in depth from 12" to 20"

[@mychaelhouck2404]

I dunno I enjoy these installs so much hah. Wish I had ability to add drops in my two story house like that.

[@alonzosmith6189]

Have you look at at using 180 or 360 degree cameras to reduce the amount of cameras?

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Well Ubiquiti just released the ai 360 and didn’t know about it before this build started

[@jimhunsaker7600]

Any plans for a UPS? Love the videos of on-site installs!

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Yup just waiting for it to arrive

[@Listenerz1]

Could you do a pi hole and Unifi UDM pro & firewall rules?

[@kristopherleslie8343]

That drive wanted camera time 😂

[@jimmyseptowardeny2351]

I'm curious about the network diagram between switches and time machine to the UDM.

[@alonzosmith6189]

What type business requires so many cameras?

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Can’t really say but they need the majority of the premise covered

[@KieronConnolly]

Great job Cody, Mabey we could see a closeup install of the jacks, how long they take each

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Sure I can do that in the follow up video

[@ronald0122]

dude you are awesome. big fan

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Thanks Ronald :)

@@MactelecomNetworks i have a question. I am looking for a switch for upstairs in my office room. It has to power a uap ac pro with poe and connect a playstation 5. I was looking at the usw flex (not mini) so i can power it with poe. (Is this a good option?) Or Unifi switch lite 8 poe (downside is i need to power it with a power cord) Or do you have any other recommendations?

[@Pflasterbicker]

Hi Cody, nice Job :) 60 Camera is a lot to do.... 4:30 how do you know which Cable is going to which Camera? Are the Cables marked with Names before laying them into the Walls?

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Hey Michael I actually just released a video on that yestersy check here Cable Labelling and cable management kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4rKgad5g82ifZY

[@DmitriyK007]

nice work.

[@WilliamButtel]

Nice - those 4 ethernet cables coming from the 2nd patch panel what are they for ?

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Those were for access points there was more data drops after this video. Still actually have to do a bit of the access control later next week

[@eudaxia]

Can you comment on the type of patch cables you use when the runs are shielded and grounded? Do the patch cables also have to be shielded and grounded at an equivalent or higher rating as the runs?

[@swiftswamp]

For a job of this size, I'd love to know how much time you spent, the planning, the expenses, profit, etc... I love this kinda stuff.

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Maybe I’ll make a video on how I price things.

[@prowalleyefisher11]

How do you ever get ubiquiti products when they are never in stock online?!

[@MactelecomNetworks]

This job has been going on for almost 6 months so I’ve had it waiting

[@prowalleyefisher11]

@@MactelecomNetworks any insight to getting products? I check their website just about daily did get a few things with the email notification

[@oliverwhite30]

I check the notify me when products become available, that doesn't work. I've resorted to going up on their website DAILY as i get to work and check their in stock status. I've been lucky a few times in getting a limited quantity. Hours later the items are sold out for months at a time. Difficult to get business done with no products available. BUT their stock price doesn't seem to be affected with the lack of inventory.

[@MactelecomNetworks]

@@prowalleyefisher11 not really try local shops. I have a distributor that sells some gear but it’s typically more than what Ubiquiti advertises

[@Tomek_MVP]

Why you have chosen U6LR vs UP6PRO?

[@MactelecomNetworks]

The pros weren’t released at the time

[@katokato1010]

Hi Cody, why use the U6 LR's on the main floor when you have two AP's so close together. Will you not get interference between the two? Great looking cable job by the way>

[@DaveChimny]

6:33 Wow, that's just beautiful cable management! I have a similar setup in mind (patch panel + 48 port switch below) and was wondering if this would work with 6" patch cables. Looks like it does even with the displaced ports on the outer sides. ;-)

[@richardturkson5916]

Dude, there are significant supply chain shortages with UniFi Cameras. Where are you sourcing these cameras from? Even my distributor is out. Love your patch cables. Great job!

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Bought them a while back this project has been on going for months

[@Thomate1375]

people still use unshielded cables in new buildings??

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Depends where you live. Different standard in different parts of the world. In Canada and the USA the standard is unshielded for now

[@tmiles003]

Awesome work sir, are you running the outlets and charging or outsourcing that work?

[@MactelecomNetworks]

I’m doing the whole build myself. I pre-ran the cabling before the walls were closed

[@timflow]

good video. Can you tell us how long are the RJ45 cables from patchpanel to switch? 10cm or 15cm?

[@MactelecomNetworks]

They are 6 inches

[@rollover36]

Unifi has no cameras in stock in the US, where do u get yours?

[@MactelecomNetworks]

I’m in Canada we had some supply but most of the gear I bought months ago

[@j.s.b.6299]

When the cables arrive at the patch panel and are terminated, how do you know where the other end of the cable is terminated? Also, how do avopid daisy chaining switches if there are only 2 spf ports on a UDM-Pro?

[@MactelecomNetworks]

We test and label every cable so on the wall plate there is a label as well as the patch panel ( same thing for cameras and access points )

[@gunsnmammons]

Where in the heck are you getting your cameras! Back ordered some G4 bullets from B&H over 6 months ago

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Direct from the ubiquiti website ordered them a while back

[@markalmada9662]

UniFi Video does the UDM Pro recognise the NVR and allow protect to run from there? I have a site with 12 cameras going to 35. Looking at the UNVR to cope with the additional cameras.

[@MactelecomNetworks]

You can use both controllers if you'd like. You will just have to login to the separately to see the differently cameras

[@Adzter01]

Love the videos Cody. interesting to see how things are done in Canada. What do you use to label the cables at the rack end? I was considering getting a cable labeller but they are so expensive here.

[@markalmada9662]

Dynamode Rhino is a good all-rounder for labelling. Cable and patches. Robust case I think it was £160 here in the UK.

[@DanielPerez-mb7wm]

Just starting to follow the channel. We’re the wires ran by you or by the construction contractor? Can you give a range on a quote to do a similar job? 3-5k? Labor only

[@markalmada9662]

Hey CODiE, how you finding the aggregation switch? Are you using it due to the high number of cameras streaming to help with the load?

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Hi I love the agg switch. Im using it as a distribution switch. When you have over two switch ( Which I will) we shouldny daisy chain them together

[@blackjedi23]

Just keep the plastic on the AP to keep them clean

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Issues is the APs get really hot I was thinking that but decided against it

[@nighteyergbg]

Why so many Cameras?

[@marvinmumie4750]

Which vendor are your racks. I’m from Germany and we love closed things, but I like the open frame one like yours.

This is a star tech 15u open Frame rack

[@MoneyMarcMes]

How are you able to order so many cameras at one time from Ubiquiti since there is so many out of stock issues?

[@ImTaran]

Awesome video, but poor choice of soo many Access Points. The amount of interference you'll have with that many AP's will be insane!

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Will be doing a heat map scan and if we need to adjust we will. Also all the walls in this building are filled with metal based on my pre-design it should work fine but will see

[@D3M0320]

I don’t know how I feel about cameras in an Air BnB

[@MactelecomNetworks]

I should have noted in the video if it’s going to be used as an air Bnb there will be no camera. The cable was pulled as this design has changed a few times

[@mikeraineri4018]

60 camera's, 1 or 2 camera's per purchase. UGH.

I purchased a bunch before also the g4 domes aren’t limited in Canada anyways

[@seshpenguin]

lol, of course Bell would just throw their equipment all over the floor.

[@TomZ23]

Yikes! 60+ cameras, makes you wonder what kind of business needs that many cameras in such a small space.

[@MactelecomNetworks]

It’s actually a pretty big space the camera doesn’t show it to well. Plus I didn’t show the basement. Really cool build though I may be able to say what type of business it is in the next video just need to ask the customer

[@duncanstamps]

cameras in the airbnb, kinda odd imo

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Camera won’t be up there if it will be an air bnb it was suppose to be something different when the project started

[@nakulnarotham]

Air BnB my ass.. I think it's a CIA/NSA Black site..

[@SuspiciousAra]

if you watch the emitting diagram of a Unifi AP you will quickly realize that an LR access point facing down is not just overkill, it is dumb. what is your coverage need from ceiling to... floor... i am sorry but as a tech that deployed ALL unifi products i cannot accept this as correct regarding your client.

[@MactelecomNetworks]

So what is your suggestion? How else would you mount it to the ceiling? I know they can also mount horizontal on the wall. You need to remember this place is all metal. The walls are full with metal sheets
