Hi Cody, I just also updated my homes UNVR to the UNVR-Pro and your video was very helpful. One thing though, there is no need to loose your footage from the disks of the UNVR when doing this upgrade. Here is how I did it. I purchased 3 more brand new 4TB Seagate Skyhawk drives and installed them in the top 3 bays. My existing 4 Skyhawks got placed in the bottom 4 bays. I then connected the SFP+ to my aggregation switch and powered up the UNVR-Pro. Once I logged In I set it to Home Use > RAID 5 with Hot spare in Bay 1 and updated it to the latest FW and Protect version. Then I installed the backup from the UNVR to the new UNVR-Pro like you showed in the video. Following these steps the UNVR-Pro seemed to detect my old Raid 5 volume from the UNVR and expanded its size with 2 more of the new disks leaving the 3rd new one as the "Hot Spare". I did all this only 2 weeks ago but yet can still pull up old footage from last year. I hope all that makes sense and thanks for all the great videos they're extremely helpful. I hope Ubiquiti are sponsoring your channel!

Great Video! i only wish Ubiquiti would get some cameras back in stock.

Don't we all

Thanks as always for this video, I currently have a UNVR and just bought a UNVR Pro taking advantage of the sale for $399. I'm glad you mentioned about having access to the cameras just in case something goes wrong during the migration. Thank you I now feel more confident about the migration process. Cody you are the man!!!

Looking forward to your followup video on this unit after you have had it for a bit.

As always, thanks for the review! You rock. Now, if only Ubiquity Canada would ever have anything in stock.....

Thanks that was helpful. I kept extracting the zip file on my desktop and then trying to import.

As far as video file retrievals, what if you attached a HD to an external USB docking station? Will you see the HD with all the video files (.mp4) or some proprietary file system that only UNVR can read. Thanks again for ALL your great videos and teaching!!

Thanks for your video. How many cameras can be seen at once on the browser and how powerful need to be the PC?

Great video. I'm running Protect on a UDM Pro at the moment but looking to get the UNVR as soon as possible, I find the UDM Pro struggles sometimes. Also noticed your G4 Dome is only running at 100Mbps. Is that deliberate or a wiring issue?

Its a wiring issue that I just havent taken a look at. I only mounted my G4 dome for a video and have never been back up on a later to look at it since lol

@@MactelecomNetworks Haha fair enough! I had exactly the same issue with mine. I've still got a G4 bullet to do the same with but that's 25ft up the wall and I can't be bothered going back up there!

Hey just curious hw does the ubiquiti hand storage if you had a unvr-pro, and undm-SE with all 7 unvr drive bays filled and another gdd in the udm-se?

How many drive bays have to be populated for the NVR to work?

Is it possible to disable the UniFi online registration and use it as a standalone device?

Great video! If you allow me one question please Which do you think is the best HDD for the UNVR Pro? (the biggest capacity) Thanks in advance and sorry for my English; i'm still learning Have a Productive and Healthy Day!

@@MactelecomNetworksis it ok to run western digital purple pro drives at 100% capacity? Continuous auto-configured retention. So max footage retention

Hello. first of all, as always, a good video. Do I see correctly that I do not need a cloud key for the unvr / pro? Can I connect it to a "stupid" switch and it gets a dhcp address / web interface?

You do not need a cloud key or a UDM pro. the UNVR has Unifi protect built into it. You would just need a firewall/router that hands it an IP

Exactly, the UNVR & UNVR-Pro are standalone devices. You can even use a UCK-G2-PLUS (Cloud Key Gen2 Plus) as a stand alone NVR or add the network controller & other applications. I would recommend the UDM-Pro or UDM-Pro-SE for multiple applications and keep protect on a NVR

I've installed two UNVRs and I can't get the SFP to work on them? Any suggestions?
