Mike, no UPS.  I have whole home surge protection and am working on auto switching back up generator set.

JR, camera's and access points are POE (power over ethernet) meaning they only require a single CAT6 connection with a 24v power injector, or a ethernet switch with POE capability like this one.

Ubiquity makes all the components and they all work together and can be configured and monitored remotely.  Highly recommend them.
Thank it sweet. As long as your equipment is tolerant of being dropped and then booting back up when the backup fires up you are good.

Now I’m looking at UPSs. Maybe just enough to keep it live during the xover. Power drops out all the time up there but since I have more invested now it makes more sense.

It doesn’t look like your equipment would draw a lot. Something like this should work.

OK so installed software and booted up cameras and access points.  It’s an enterprise set up so it was a bit more intensive to get it going but the management of it is so easy.

I have 3 WiFi access points that are controlled from a web GUI and I can clone settings and update all the software from the web page and a click of the mouse.

Cameras are a little more complicated but essentially the same.  Can program for motion video recording and adjust sensitivity and area of the camera view that triggers motion.

Also have an app on the phone and iPad that gets motion alerts, can view all the cameras and view recorded events.

Top notch setup! If the whole insurance thing doesn't work out you always have a job in the tech field!  :beercheers:

No rush but if you have a chance could you post up a component list unless that is classified. :)

I'm always looking for a nice camera setup.

Ok here you go.

https://www.ui.com/unifi/unifi-ap/

I’m using the UniFi AC Lite.  They are POE and come with their own POE injector. They will mesh with each other and you can clone settings with a click of a button.

If you need a mesh network and you can’t get a CAT 6 cable to each point they have a repeating mesh network set up too.

I was able to put cable to each one with no problem but if you are in a big warehouse you can use a mesh/repeater set up.

So get the first one plugged in and powered up and then you download a UniFi software app to your computer and then access it on the network and set your SSID, password, etc.  Then everyone you add after that will show in the software utility and you just click “adopt” and then you can go in and select the first one to clone settings to.

For the security cameras I use the G3 Dome and the G3 bullets.  They make a all in one NVR that has all the software and hard drive on it and its about $300.  Or you can download the NVR software to a network computer and run it from there (I did this for the hide, the house in Houston I have the all in one NVR).  You can also download an app to your android or apple device and monitor your cams and get motion alerts.  The software will also email you alerts if it detects motion and it will auto record if you set it up that way.

More to come

I’m also using the ubiquity POE switches to power everything. 

I also have the dongle that you plug into the network and then you can manage, upgrade and modify your settings from anywhere.

As soon as I upgrade the OS on the rack computer I built I will run Remote Desktop and be able to access files and manage the whole system from anywhere.

I honestly never heard of Ubiquity hardware and I have been doing this a long time. Sounds like you have a great experience with. I will definitely check it out.

Thanks

Interesting Charles, quick question do you find yourself logging in and looking at the live feeds often?

We had cameras setup at my old facilities (mainly to make sure automated machines were running 24-7). After leaving there I’m glad I don’t have cameras.

My new shop has them (whole facility does in fact) but I won’t download the app. John who owns the development obsesses over those cameras too....

New house is setup with amazon and ring on the front door which as you know can be expanded (not sure I like any of it, we’ll see)

Got the shower sealed yesterday and ordered all the tile for the floor, shower and backsplash.

Supposedly the stairs will be done this Friday and I hope to get them installed this coming weekend.

Tile will be here on or about 1/30. It’ll really start looking close to finished when the floor goes down.

I think I have mentioned that I am not a fan of Siri, Ring, or any of the new device that listens to you 24X7X365... but here is a very good article to back that up...

You can put in any fake gmail address to read it.

No necessarily so, Don.  I just don't post the mistakes....except maybe that pond thing with mowers....

There is no doubt that if i were the subject of interest by some agency they could likely hack my camera system.  One reason only exterior cameras.  I don't want the chinese seeing me walking around naked in my house.....

I don't find myself checking cameras all that often.  Because they have motion detection, i get alerts if they detect motion and the sensitivity and area of detection can be adjusted.


Don, that shower is coated in a rubberized coating by KBRS, who also made the one piece composite showe pan.  Guaranteed leak proof.  There is fabric mesh seam tape that goes on all the seams and then you roll on the sealer and put about 3 coats on it and its essentially a monolithic rubberized box.  Even if water penetrates the grout or mortar, there is zero chance water reaches the stud cavity.  Once its dry you just tile right over it.  I spent a lot of money on the shower system because I've seem my fair share of poorly constructed showers and the damage they can do.  The 3x4 composite shower base kit alone was $600 but it will last longer than I will.

I picked up the Ubiquiti AC Pro just before Christmas after seeing what you were using. I had never heard of them before but after doing my research and looking at them, decided to give it a shot. So far I’m really happy with it. The range is better than my old three node meshed consumer grade network was. Setup was easy enough and POwer over Ethernet is definitely nice, as long as you can get cat6 to it you’re golden. It has given me better coverage in the whole house(~4700 sq ft) than I had before and the throughout I’m getting is much better. I’ll be picking up a couple more, probably the AC lite to extend the mesh into my garage and the back yard.

Are your cameras from ubiquiti as well?

I think we all subscribe to the “buy once, cry once” mentality in one way or another. Be it trucks (and the parts for them), tools, or quality building materials. Spending a bit more will often save you some hassle later.

Well that fancy chunk of steel falling from high altitude and reaching terminal velocity would easily get into the casita via the roof, however you'll have to fix the roof and order a new stairway lol.

Thanks.. it wast bad at all.  Got it plumbed and then drilled the holes for the landing to bolt to the second floor.

The railing is a little longer than my wood blocking on the floor. I’ll have to replace that one pice with a longer piece and then bolt it down.  Not a big deal at all.  Really sturdy and decent sized.

Made ribeyes for my boys that came and helped and then we shot a bit of steel and then made a fire and drank whiskey.  All in all a good day

That does look pretty awesome

What are you going to put on the treads?  I ask because I would fall down them slick looking steps

I had that conversation with the stair guy and he said no diamond plate because it actually makes less traction because your only gripping the raised area with much less surface area.  If grip becomes a problem I’ll put grip tape strips on it. I haven’t tried it in socks but with shoes it’s no problem

The local HD sells a sticky tape stuff for stairs.   I am prone to slipping on all types of stairs, breaking hand rails, usually in a bath towel only. So on.   Size 13 feet don’t fit stair real well. 

Shoes would make a large difference for sure

Next is tile?

Yes. Ordering the toilet today from Lowe’s. Tile is supposed to be here 1/30. I’m paying the labor on the floor but doing the shower and backsplash myself.

Tex, I actually think I had that exact spiral staircase in my Tennessee house. I don't remember ever slipping or falling on it. Open floor plan and had a mezzanine loft above the kitchen that, that staircase serviced. I don't thing it had any friction surface at all. I'd bet you will be OK with that as is

Ok. Tile guy is three weeks out so I’m working on shower and cabinets.

Installed shower seat with thin set

Got the face frames done on the cabinets. Now on to doors and drawers.

On the staircase, is there a brace under the lower step after the floor?
