I keep hearing that the Apple TV 4K is the best device to run UniFi Protect. It's a bit expensive just to get that for this purpose. I can probably get a used first-generation Apple TV 4K that uses the A10X SoC. Will that or a Google TV streamer be fast enough to run Protect 24/7/365? Can Amazon Fire sticks run UniFi Protect?

Is it possible to set up Protect to show the feed from 7 cameras on one screen? This will be connected to a 42" TV.

I'm researching what to look for in a qualified low-voltage technician as I want to expand my home network and install security cameras.

I don't know what bonded and insured means, but is this something to look for in a technician? How do I verify that they have this?

I have made a few phone calls to get an idea of cost and the amount of work involved. One company got me worried when the rep said they had something called Cat6e cables. I have never heard of such a thing as it's either Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat6a.

How can I verify that only bare copper and not CCA cables will be installed?

There is a courtyard in between the house and the garage. My ISP's fiber optic connection goes to the garage. From there I was told there is an Ethernet cable linking the house to the garage. The problem is that I don't know where this Ethernet cable is. I don't know if it's buried and running through a conduit to the house or not. How can I find and trace the route? I'm hoping that additional cables can be run through there or follow the same path to keep things organized.

If additional cables need to be installed to connect to the house, how should it run into the house? Is it okay to simply drill a hole through the exterior wall and into the house? Then, if necessary, run the cable through the wall and into the room where the patch panel is?

I'm looking to gather as much information as I can before I proceed. Thank you!

Is it just me, or do cameras now have a memory surcharge? WiFi access points and switches all have their memory surcharges increased.

I don't think it's worth fixing the 6a's screen. Is it possible to obtain all of my browsing data from the web browsers on the phone and files? I know the phone still technically works.

How do I obtain the IMEI?

Long story short, I got this in 2019, but never installed it. If I were to install it now, is it still fairly usable for streaming apps like YouTube, YouTube TV, Netflix, and Disney+? What's the latest OS update I can still get?

I know it won't support Vega, which is great, but can I still customize and sideload with this older Fire Stick?

I have an old Fire Stick from 2019. Is it possible to change the DNS? If so, how?

It seems like the guide on Control D's site is only for using IPv4 addresses and not with DoH/DoT. How do I set this up?

I'm already well into building out my Ubiquiti network. I'm not very impressed with Ubiquiti's motion sensor, and they don't even have its own thermostat.

Aqara has very nice presence sensors using mmWave frequency, a U400 door lock with UWB that's compatible with my iPhone, and a newly announced W200 thermostat. How do I integrate that into a Ubiquiti ecosystem and alarm system? The goal is also to get the KeyFob to arm and disarm. Is this possible and how would I set this all up?

It seems like the W200 is more than just a thermostat. It has an integrated presence sensor. What other use cases are there besides adjusting the temperature? I'm looking to build out an alarm system with mainly Ubiquiti equipment. I want to add Aqara products where it makes sense, like the W200 and the U400. What other accessories should I get, and how can I integrate everything together?

I have a UCG-Fiber and want to buy one G6 Turret to start learning UniFi Protect before I add more cameras. How do I set everything up in the UCG-Fiber after installing the Ethernet cable and powering the G6 Turret over PoE? How do I see what the feed from the camera looks like while I'm adjusting and trying to get the angle just right? Looking for advice on how to quickly set that up.

Thanks!

Now that the Remote Control KeyFob has been out for a few weeks, what are you guys using it for? I'm still confused about the use case. The only disappointing thing I've learned is that there is no IP rating!

Even Brave on iOS has a quicker way to delete all browsing data. Having to go through so many taps to delete Safari's browsing data is unnecessary friction. We're already at iOS 27, and nothing has changed over the years. It's so annoying!

I know it'll work with any iPhone with a UWB chip, but what about Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy phones with a UWB chip? Will the U400 automatically unlock when users with those phones approach the door?

Apple's specs give the impression that it doesn't, but what is it missing that causes it not to have precision dual-frequency GPS? It seems like the iPhone 17 is the cheapest iPhone with precision dual-frequency GPS.

I'm not near the Mac Mini at the moment, but after factory resetting, it asks something like how to activate or reinstall the OS. I think it asks if I want to use WiFi or which drive to use? What's going on and what's the proper step to doing so?

I don't see a way to click shut down in the GUI. Is it just removing the USB-C cable the only way? Is this the recommended method?

For Asia Mile redemptions, I think there are applicable charges that have to be paid in addition to having the required miles. If I use the Neo Cathay card to pay for that, will I earn 4x on it if it's denominated in Canadian Dollars?

I believe the Schlage Sense Pro Smart Deadbolt is now the second Aliro-certified lock on the market. It's also very expensive. Why would anyone pick this over the Aqara U400?
