Folks - I need help.

I bought the UDR7 router during the Black Friday sale just to see what the hype was about and since then I’ve already placed multiple orders for hundreds of dollars of equipment. As we speak I have a cart full of over a thousand dollars more equipment that I’m on the cusp of submitting and and there is no end in sight.

If there is anyone out there who can talk me out of this rabbit hole I fear this may be the last chance for salvation

My name is ccunning and I’m a Unifi-holic…

    I used to have a UDM Pro, a Unifi rack mount switch, four APs, three cameras, and two mini POE switches. I sold it all when I moved recently, and now I just have 3 cheapish routers running OpenWRT.

    I wish I kept all the Unifi stuff.

    Do it.

    B&h photo ans video as well as adorama let you buy ubiquiti equipment and return it.

    Ubiquiti has a reputation for not accepting returns on properly functional gear

    Get ready to see lots of this in your future:

    No explanation, the connection is fine, the cloudkey is fine, the camera is fine, it just randomly decides to drop quality permanently.

      Is this a common issue folks have with Protect? I haven’t seen it talked about so far.

      TBH, for me, Protect has been so much better than the other NVR solutions I’ve tried it has been a big driving force behind the appeal for me.

        I’ve seen a few posts on reddit while trying to solve it, but no idea how widespread the issue is. There certainly isnt a solution that I’ve found yet.

        Other than this issue, I agree, protect is quite good, but there isnt much point having nice 4k cameras if they dont work correctly…

        Oh, also, had 2 cloudkeys develop disk problems within weeks of owning them, so that was very annoying. 3rd one is going strong though.

    This will happen automatically if you buy enough and start experiencing their true hardware failure rate lol.

    Do their radios still not do 801.11af? You still need to have their stupid POE injectors hanging on the wall?
