    Test Suite - Ethernet Cables & IP Cameras

    Thank you for your detailed response. I didn't think about leveraging the UI3 on smartphone to check the camera angles. This really helps Not sure which version of 48 port switch you have, but with each 1G ports, I doubt that the bottleneck would have been at the Dream Machine or the switch...

    Test Suite - Ethernet Cables & IP Cameras

    Thank you all for your suggestions. I'm thinking about Dream Machine is because I read UniFi is discontinuing USG. And looks like if you really want to scan all the packets for intrusion detection, USG can't handle & throttle down the speeds. I've also reading great thing about MikroTik...

    Thank you for Model suggestions. Yes, I've read in multiple threads and also in Cliff notes the importance of mounting the cameras b/w 7-10 feet. Mine would be three story house - Main level, Upper level & Basement. So, technically, the roof soffit would be at around 20 feet. I'm thinking...
