My g4 pro has stopped being detected online. Only the backlight diodes are lit. It does not respond to the reset button. Tell me what can be done?
I thought the g5 was aluminum based on their site description 😅 I have really rough weather were I am at, plastic become really brittle real quick. Kinda need it for night and day-time. the night time looks really good, and affordable obviously 🤣
@@sawsaw2388 unfortunately plastic. I would not leave these anywhere with strong sun. Will probably overheat and will probably degrade the plastic
I bought one of these and have no idea where I'm supposed to install that clunky box. Dangle it in the wall? Cut a huge hole int he wall to install that mounting bracket inside the wall and then patch a huge hole? Then what if I need to reboot it? I also thought I would get a long cable. Not only do I not have it, but it isn't available for purchase.
@@woodandgears2865 yeah massive hole in the wall. I will eventually do a follow up but I don't like these
1:20 "there's no links to support" (as there's a picture of the literal support link from the instructions) not defending their super barebones-ass "instructions" at all. they're abysmal
I agree with you. But I expect at least a quick start guide in the box. Reading instructions and setting up on the same device is a really bad experience
Doesn't the G4 has audio? And no for the G5?
They both have audio as in have mics on the camera. Neither have speakers to do talk back.
Can you upgrade the ram in the unit?
Not looked, but I very much doubt it. These are mostly SoC now and ARM based. If you need that, then a full on pfsense box is probably what you need. But to be honest I never hit memory or CPU limits
hey @JenxTech is it possible to configure WAN1 as port 3 and WAN2 on port 1?
Yeah you can move the wan ports around just checked
@@JenxTech sensational! Thanks very much for your time, keep making videos!
@@JenxTechhey another quick question - can both ethernet ports be used as WAN ports and the SFP as LAN? Thank you for your time!
@@gooneypip yes. Only on the web interface but you can move them all around. I have port 1 as wan 1 and rest as lan right now.
@@JenxTech legend!

Stop swallowing your saliva. Super annoying.
Thanks for this video. I wish I had found it before I put mine together. It would have made putting in the side panels much easier.
Oh interesting how did you make yours?
@@JenxTech I put the legs on the base first and then put the top on. I didn't realize the side panels would be such a pain to put on with the top already in place
So, as it turns out, someone else must have had this cabinet before me and returned it because I found 4 screws on the 6mm side (inside for me) of each rail that was preventing the side panels from fitting snug up against the rails.
@@tglenn3121 oh dang hate it when they do that
The nice thing was, once I removed those screws, everything came together properly.
Good video! Can you recommend a model that supports HDMI 2.1 and do you know if the model in this video would be able to user powerline adapters for ethernet?
Unfortunately no idea on HDMI 2.1 just read lots off comments. It's proprietary signal over the wire so I don't think so as powerline does something similar. Converts ethernet frames into a different signal. But if you have coax in your house I think converters exist for those
Its a bad ideal to have equipment locked up in an airtight enclouser, it needs to vent the heat
Its not it wont release enough heat to cause a problem.
Two of ours also constantly hiss! It’s horrible. My spouse can’t hear it but both our kiddo and I can and it’s awful.
And ours are new (2023).
@@PatriotForThePlanetyeah they really missed the mark on these, really I would be more happy with a Google Assistant Integration so my homes can just broadcast doorbell interactions.
No footage of the camera?
I still cant wrap my head around the logic of installing cameras inside ones home. Cameras connected to the internet have no business being inside ones private home. companies can say its secure till they are blue in the face but ALWAYS have back doors that the consumer doesn't know about. Outside, inside the garage I'm fine with but inside absolutely not. this young generation of wanting everything on video is crazy... I guess if your law enforcement its great cause you don't have to work to prove guilty they already did by recording it.
U forgot to blur ur bitwarden vault at 9:39 If unintended please fix :)
Great video! Maybe the weatherproof enclosure caused a heating issue with the first HDMI extender.
I was thinking similar, moisture/condensation affecting the internal electronics of the HDMI balun inside the weatherproof box. Maybe allow a drainage hole in the weatherproof box ? Nice little video Jenx Tech to show your troubleshooting technique.
@@blokey5160 Yeah this did occur to me, I'm wondering if heat maybe got to it, does get above 100f sometimes here in CO, but humidity is low. Could probably make so it can breath a little better as it's covered can probably put a port on the bottom.
Thank you for the video! How is the video and audio delay between sender and receiver? Can it be used for gaming with pc or console?
i want to kno to
Oh basically zero, I probably wouldn't want to play games but I am yet to notice any delay.
@@JenxTechthat’s what I’m working on currently trying to run a ps5 over this connection.
@@_Higherlearning ahh ok. Mmm. Well it depends if you're running just the audio or putting the PS5 at the other end and running both video over Ethernet. Just audio I wouldn't worry, but there will be some delay with video (it has to convert and compress it over the wire) so depends on your setup
@@JenxTech hmm. Thanks for the insight. What should I be looking at first to get this accomplished properly?
Neat video, nice troubleshooting as well.
Thanks!
i have a 24 ports switch abd upgrading to 48 ports 750w. the 48 port is much heavier than the 24. by just mouting using 4 front screws is it enough to hold the switch without damaging it in the long run?
Yeah, they are designed for that, no problems after years of install. longer servers and UPS's however I would recommend rails (mostly cause they are heavy and much easier to install etc)
I'm happy that I just bought one, and thanks to homebridge I was able to juse my old Ring Chimes, amazing what a waste of money this was...
What if the price is same? Which to pick
Good question, in that case that would depend where you're installing them, by the sea where you are going to get allot of wet weather the G5 probably makes sense as it's a plastic housing and should hold up longer. The G4 will be better with extreme temps and direct sunlight as it has higher operating temp ranges. But as you can see the picture is very similar.
I think I’m right in saying you used to be based in Devon? I’ve got a bit of an odd question. Do you have an email address or other social media that I could get in contact with you on?
I worked in Bristol, UK for a bit, then London for a few years before moving to the US. @chrisjenx on Twitter (X what ever it's called).
I gave up with the Seagate Skyhawk drives. Built an 8 bay Synology NAS with them for Surveillance Station. 3 of them failed within the first year, 4th failed within 18 months, 2 of the replacement drives again failed within 12 months. Switched to WD Purple drives and had no issues.
Interesting, good to know, I did think it was odd that drive failed so soon, barely over a year old, if anymore fail thats probably the route I'll go.
I'm looking forward to part 4 !
Haha, not sure there is a Pt4. Maybe once I finally add the gaming rigs and more IoT stuff.
Thanks the video ! I am currently using 2 disks (RAID1), I added a third one a few months ago, I wanted to use it as a hot spare but it won't let me do so without earasing the whole volume. Do you know if "hot spare" mode is only for 3+1 disks but not for 2+1 ? Thanks.
RAID 1 should let you have a hot spare (as per RAID guidelines), but not sure about UNVR implementation. In theory you can have two hot spares for RAID 1, I do know however if you want to change from RAID1 to RAID5 you will need to rebuild the array as it stripes the data differently.
@@JenxTech yes. The UNVR wants to rebuild the array to add a hot spare : does not make sense to me to loose my data in order to protect it :D
@@aRndBelgianGuy yeah that doesn't sound right. That's annoying. Wondering if it wants to convert to RAID5. Best to ask on the ui support forum
@@JenxTech yes, already asked but as always UI-Glenn aks for information then never replies again 😀
@@aRndBelgianGuy 🤦🏼♂️
Looks Very good. I am wondering though if those cables at 11:55 need some shielding - I've seen somebody on youtube have audio interference 3 years later, after an antenna was installed in the area.
Good call out, hopefully not, but it's not impossible as they want to install water towers near by which will probably end up with cell towers on them
Even if you had 1 in every room, that still sounds too quiet.
Yeah it's really not great, we broadcast over sonos/google home now which is much more convenient (video eventually on that setup)
@@JenxTech Home Assistant or Homebridge?
@@shadow.banned home assistant
I am using the G4 Pro's in high traffic areas along with a G5 Bullet in my garage. For the money the G5 is a pretty good camera.
Can you do a layout map of your setup?
You mean where the cables go in the house or how the mechanical room is configured?
Did you already have ethernet run to the outside of your house or did you do that post build?
We spec'd the house with ethernet runs to external places on the property during construction, would be a nightmare now, after building I wish I added a couple more locations tho, pro tip, ALWAYS add more even if you don't plan on using them straight away.. you never know. Some of the things I've thought about is just using ethernet to power Z-Wave/ZigBee sensors etc, much easer than screwing around getting AC/DC power to a location.
@@JenxTech I’m kicking myself now for not taking more time to figure out where I wanted cameras and other devices during the build. Of course, now it’s going to be a pain in the ass but needs to be done :(
@@mandalorian5038 oof yeah I spent a couple of days going over our floor plan thinking about cabling. All I can recommend is if you cut drywall you can get neat little panels that slot in the hole so you now have an access panel for the future
I'm your 1k subscriber 🎉🎉
🎉 Awesome, thank you so much!
CEO of shit cable management lol
I feel like it's one of those things, I did it quickly at first when moving in and thought it was "good enough", then I do it again and am like, "how did I put up with this", then I do it again, and again... I think it's one of those things you can spend infinite time on and still not be perfect!
Can I ask why did you skip the 1 and 2 port on the upper side of the rack ?
oh thats years ago, so can't quite remember, this probably what I did: - In new builds in the US, they bring two de-mark (CAT6) cables from the ISP ONT (where the fiber terminates) on the outside of the house, so I probably reserved the first two ports for those two cables.
I wonder if the metal housing keeps it cooler vs. the plastic housing. That matters over time.
Yeah, something I missed, the operating temp is smaller on the plastic ones, while I found the image quality better, seems they reduced the specs for other things, there max temp is lower two, which is bad for us as means can't put them in direct sun here in CO they will probably overheat. How ever the plastic will be better if your near the sea, that salt air will eventually rust everything!
so these can be mounted down low near an outlet? I was assuming they needed to be mounted higher up on the wall. Can they be behind a desk or other furniture?
We had them behind TV media cabinets, desk height, clear line of sight is always going to be better, the main thing if theres obstructions is 5Ghz band gets weaker (doesn't penetrate as much as 2.4Ghz). We had 5 in our old 3500Sq/ft house, and that was more than enough (probably overkill), but I ran more of them at lower power. They are more designed for hotels etc, where you put one in each room and they have brick between the rooms to isolate the signals more.
and i agree, they should have seperated the two lens saving a few bucks would have been nice!
Yeah, little drop down to pick the lense on the site would be nice, but also a SKU and logistics nightmare, probably cheaper from logistics to just ship both
Looking forward to your install video on this. i was also looking into these for my internal home use. And was thinking along the lines of running a really long USBC cable to that point with a second one as my celeings are currently down. then have that main unit in the rack with a POE cable in. But just the thought of running USBC at about 15-20m doesnt sit well with me, so im going the route of the G5/G3 glex with the in celing mounts..
Yeah I'm a bit delayed as I'm out of the country for a bit, but yeah excited to try these out, as the AI 360 cameras when checking on our cats are "OK" but could be better. Yeah, I'll have to try the USB-C method first it will make more sense in the video why, otherwise will have to make a hole for the brick, which seems to defeat the purpose.
@@JenxTech just got my new g4 doorbell pro poe (uploaded to shorts) plus the AI theta.
Thanks for the 3 network rack videos. One suggestion: lose the music. It is exhausting to pay attention to your words while trying to tune out the annoying "music". 😄
Yeah, it's tricky, videos with music perform better (go figure...), I can for sure find something better and probably knock it down a few more db so it's really only between dead air (which I do try to edit out). If you have any suggestions for more neutral license free music I'm all ears!
would this the inifi AI Theta Microphone work with an alexa or airpod's?
I very much doubt it, UniFi integration is non-existent with Apple/Google/Amazon. How ever thats a great idea to see if I can get the home assistant voice assistant to react to it as it can stream the audio from the camera! Thanks for the idea!
Very Nice video and super nice network! Thank you 4 sharing your network setup and I look forward to more videos of this sort! Cheers!!!
Thank you! Appreciate the nice words!
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing the plan with us!! See you in part 2
Zip ties!!!! That is a no-no. Enterprise is 2.5gbps. Why XG not Dream Machine? Better choice in my opinion for most people.
Zip ties or cable ties :P Yeah I know it's a pain to change, but to be honest it will stay like that for a few years, then will get redone when the basement gets reconfigured, not a big deal for me, 100% if this was a DC or Ent install, would use something else for sure. Dream Machine didn't make sense here, already have a UNVR have 10+ cameras, I also run the controller in the cloud so I can run a few different sites from a central location, but yes less cameras and only my house then would make way more sense
Is the field of view different? Looks like the G5 had a zoom?
It's slightly wider from what I can tell, don't think the zoom was any different (although as it's a higher res sensor digital zoom, should, be clearer)
Definatley looking forward to the Video of how to Spec out a house when building from the ground up and maybe a bit on retrofitting. You have no idea how hard it is in my current 1908 built two story brick with finished basement. AP's everywhere and lots of holes in my exterior wall to get CAT6 to where it's needed.
Yea I’ve been using my existing phone lines and terminating to rj45 and got two more lines to do. I’m gonna use an external outdoor box to house an enterprise small PoE switch and send the power to it from one of my inside switches.
Yes, it’s disappointing
Hi. I'm curious, what's these white cables on the right of your breaker panels for ?
