UniFi Device Bridge - Cables be gone! #unifi #networking

The UniFi Device Bridge seamlessly connects to your WiFi to provide connection for a camera, IoT device or anything else PoE powered. I install, setup and connect it on my farm.

Thanks Lars. I thought this may be a good solution for a camera at my house front door, where there's only WiFi, but the "enable UniFi mesh" is a showstopper for me!

Lars, you may get a better signal by extending the external antenna to the outside of shed using a short piece of coax cable with SMA connectors. Also did you try the G5 Flex directly plugged into the network?

Hi Lars, my Unifi U7 Pro installed in living area and can't reach the WiFi signal to kitchen. That made me unable to watch YouTube cooking tutorial with my iPad in the kitchen. Could this device work as AP mode that extend the U7 Pro signal to longer range?

I wonder if you could use the UDB (or the pro version) with a PoE powered Switch Flex to give a couple of extra PoE ports. Obviously it is limited by WiFi connectivity and the 15Watt total power, , but I am sure two or maybe even 3 cameras could work off it if you have decent WiFi signal at the location, given cameras like the Flex are usually only 3 or 4 watts. Certainly a great device if you have areas without cabling, but still have reasonable WiFi to the area.
I believe the built in antenna is a bit directional, so you can sort of point it toward an AP if you wanted to, but I am not sure it makes too much difference over the omni-directional antenna.
867mbps is so close to gigabit it's not worth even saying it's not gigabit, but it would only achieve that with ideal WiFi conditions. Any non-ideal WiFi conditions will affect that speed.

You most probably couldn’t adopt it because your signal was too weak. I tried to adopt a doorbell with the mesh signal being -80 and that also didn’t work very well, but came through in the end. So when it says signal is poor, it really means it.

You think it would be possible to use it to power a POE switch, to then power 2-3 cameras frem there?

[dagnolof]

can you connect an U7-outdoor AP that works with POE+

[gmontenegro]

Okay this pretty much assures me that Ubiquti has sent me a broken UDB. Can only be seen by WiFiMan if it's plugged into my switch. Network controller cannot see UDB device to adopt either.

How do i buy from Unifi direct?
Being in Australia i find i cant get any of their locations to ship to Australia.

99$ for it, a cheap wifi range extender does the same 😄

[dennisdelorme]

Why not just use a WiFi Protect camera?

[nickharvey]

Bloody hell: do you live in ganglands or something? That many cameras? There are shopping malls out there with fewer!
