Remotely Troubleshoot Unifi UNVR Issue

Read moreOAK OpenCV AI Kit on Kickstarter
As much as I resist promoting Kickstarter projects, I just can’t help myself here. There’s just so much fun to be had with this OpenCV hardware. Bold claims are made around the setup-to-running time, but even if those are exponentially wrong, it’s still a massive win assuming they actually come to market.

Read moreUbiquiti UniFi Protect Network Video Recorder (UNVR)
The Ubiquiti UniFi Protect Network Video Recorder (UNVR) fills a massive gap in the Unifi Protect ecosystem because it finally adds storage redundancy to the mix. Unfortunately there are still quite a few limitations with the Protect ecosystem, but if you can live with them, and some flakey initial software quality issues, the UNVR is a solid addition to the […]

Ubiquiti released the 1.7.2 stable firmware for the Unifi Dream Machine (UDM) and Unifi Dream Machine Pro (UDM-Pro) gateway devices over the weekend.
