Great video!!!. I thought you will use the scissors as the crimping tool too, lol. I just realized why every time I am doing wiring near a network/wiring/low-voltage expert they look weird at me, I just realized I do the wiring the other way: brown, white-brown..... that way when I use the crimping tool I use the lock pointing up which makes more sense to me, but it seems you guys (network experts) do it the oposite/right way, now I am screwed up because I learned the "wrong" way like 25 years ago and keep doing my wiring that way, lol.

Great job! 👍🏻

Nice neat setup, like the firewall rules you setup as well, didn’t know about the MAC address either, changing all my clients to lock those down, not that someone is going to climb 25 feet up a ladder just to get to the cable, we’ll maybe… I always disable ports that are not in use.

IMO the mac filter is completely useless because if you have access to pull the camera down then you are able to look at the mac and spoof it. the mac filtering would just stop people that don't have a clue what they are doing and we don't worry much about them.

Good job showing folks how to do these things. Side note.. the "pull string" you cut is there for a reason. When you strip the outer sheath of the cable, there is always a possibility of a nicking the cable, not matter how careful one tries to be. The string is there for you to pull down the sheath, using the string as a cutter to take off more outer sheath and thus remove the possibility of terminating a nicked cable as you have gone down below the initial cut.

You know you can save your fingers by geting RJ45 jacks that allow you to push the cable straight through it so you are guaranteed none of the cables slip back and you have to re-crimp it or stress your fingerings our holding the cable in place so you can crimp it properly. I used to do like you until I got the straight through ones save to save my 60 year old fingers from more damage. :)

invest in a dart gun that shoots pull string, it saves lifting tiles every 15 feet.

Brady has the same type of labels but with a longer transparent part, don't know if they fit your machine, but they will last longer as the printed text will be covered by the transparent part.

Great Job again, and a very good explanation of the Firewall Rules. May I asked a question about the Rules... I have a Network for all Security-Stuff, including Access and Cameras. I am using a UDMPro, I don't have an UNVR. I also have a Network for NAS and for Guests. When I following your steps with the Firewall Rules, all Cameras went to offline, also the UA-Pro. The UA-Hub stays online. Where is my Failure? I know this may be a hard question because of not seeing all of my installation-steps. Greetings, Michael

Hi - love (and share) your OCD with cabling and also a big fan of ubiquiti kit. Just wondering, reviews I have seen say the thin patch cables should not be used for PoE as the thinner copper can have heat issues due to higher resistance. Have you seen this at all in your installations?

What a great video. I have been using Unifi's APs for several years but I am new to the cameras and I am getting ready to install some but I have a few questions. Do I need the NVR or can I run the cameras without it? Also what would happen if you locked the device to MAC address and the device went offline?

You all missed the NFPA 70 (or in the US we call it the NEC), Class 2 cables (which POE lines would be classified as, and section 725.130(A) cables above a suspended ceiling must be supported at regular intervals). Section 645.5(D)(5)(c) also requires Information Technology Wiring (aka network cables), be secured to the building structure in a way that prevents them from being damaged. I also didn't see if you penetrated a firewall as well, and that also requires a listed penetration coupling. And as a final thought, I didn't see if your network cable is plenum rated or not (it's required in the US in most districts as the flammability rating of the jacket is different for plenum, hence the higher cost). Just my 2 cents.

Amazing job bro. Do you have any recommended resources and guides to review for help with security settings? You were blowing through all those different settings for securing the camera network like it was 1+1 lol, but I only understood about 1/6th of what you actually did there. I've done basic networking for a while, but I'd like to get more familiar with Unifi tech. Also, with Cisco, they have their different certifications for different categories of networking and products, does Ubiquity do the same?

I know you guys aren't security focused, but if you have two cameras that close together 4:45 they should point towards each other to prevent a blindspot between the two.

I missed part of it, the cameras are on differnet vlan, but how does someone view them? with my network and cameras (not ubiquiti) if the 3rd octet is not the same, my camera apps wont view them. Is the only way to see the cameras is to log in to Router?

When you start discussing what you're doing, you're talking at a walking speed, then you switch to plaid speed especially when talking about making the rules. Some of it can be followed, you need to pause and rewind it multiple times to do so. Can you explain why you're doing some of the drop, block, and allow settings?
