Yeah I did think that . How much is ‘enough ‘ ……

I had some protective film on my glazing for 3 years . It was tricky to remove , and yes *gently* with a hair dryer ….

No leak on that section . So will do the wall part before that I.e roughly 3 coping stones worth of. Work my way back to my corner . Then if still no leak work across that part of front wall towards the gate . I hose each section for 2 minutes ….

@pudding I know I really need a new pie cable outside . But my house leaks without me drilling more holes 🤣 I think I can cheat and get one through via a different route. The ac m is out of stock in uk ( like most Ubiquiti stuff ) - but I’ve got one coming from Amazon eu in a week …

It’s all dried out . So , as it’s sunny decided to shower a section a day with the hose for 2 minutes . 1st section done , now wait …

What did you use ??

Your atmosphere must be better than mine ! 😊 Had issues with lots of rj45’s outdoors on cameras etc . Outdoor cat5 cable . Tests fine . Only thing that’s surviving is a ip camera with a fly lead female rj45 ; so the male and female go in a snap shut gel box . If only outdoor AP’s had a fly lead connector ! But I’ll try the ac-m which it looks like what you have .

Yeah . But before I’ve had poe mesh routers in there and the connection always seems to degrade . Clean the rj45 and it’s good for a bit . Box is a proper waterproof box with gaskets etc . Just seems the rj45 plug doesn’t like the atmosphere- hence resorting to WiFi only as it avoids the issue .

I’ve got a poe cable out there direct from the network switch . Atmospheric issues causing me trouble . It’s in a plastic water proof box . I’ve cleaned it etc - all fine for a few days . Then with damp weather it just fails again

A few updates on the g4 doorbell You can see the parcel cam view - it’s just not obvious in the app ; but it’s there . It does indeed recognise parcels as the recorded footage shows it . But notifications of a parcel being left appear not to work . Managed to hopefully get another poe chime for upstairs .

The wired AP’s nonissues so far . The outdoor thing is shite . One adopted etc - put it outside I.e beyond triple glazing - barely get a signal . More concerning is the outdoor Shelly plugs don’t recognise it’s 2.4ghz - no idea why . Sent that back . As a test put an AP outside with doors closed . Lots of fiddling - such as changing 2.4ghz channel and can get a good connection to Shelly’s and a borderline good connection wirelessly to indoor AP . To achieve this I literally have indoor AP and outdoor AP on either side of the doors !

Yeah I’ll try this - if not I’ll get it for the external arial you mention . My problem is getting a WiFi signal to it through triple glazing - always been an issue .

Yeah realised that so ordered a 3 pin to poe injector . My 1st experience with Ubiquiti ap was some years ago . Never stayed adopted

Too slow everyone ! You’ve all had a whole 27 minutes ! went for 2 x us6 pro and for outdoors Ubiquiti UniFi UK-ULTRA Can always cancel order/return so no issue with testing

Sigh! I'm sure the ubiquiti God is watching me! My rock solid Asus mesh has lately ( for no apparent reason ) become flakey. So as I now have a cloud key I'm considering swapping to ubiquit access points. How does wired backhaul work on these?. On the Asus the backhaul had to plug straight into the main asus hub unit i.e. would not work via a network switch. Is this the same for the ubiquiti ?; or do they all just backhaul wired to a poe switch as normal? There seem to be a mountain of choices with AP here! - what should I go for?; want wifi 6 I guess. Also which do you suggest for outdoors ? - no poe - just a power point - so will be dependent on a wireless connection only Ay advice welcome!

Would an infra red camera help ??? - so I could try to track it

Filled all those tiny gaps . Had rain , still leaks ! Nothing else visually obvious to check !!

Glad to see you have the black ‘n gold dream brand of tools .

I was always reluctant with ubiquiti because of the cloud key . In the future say g6 - they can then do “ needs super cloud key gen 3 + “ … I did manage to get a 2nd hand one off eBay for £90 though . Or make its functionality paid subscription only …. . Don’t like locked in brands . But ! they do have some interesting cameras and sensors ( price ranging from reasonable to (expletive deleted)ing stupid ) . So I’m sure something will cause me to open my wallet once I’m convinced their doorbell works reliably.

Maybe … or the g5 pro edition is due !

Well ! You ubiquti guys must love this shite ! umpteen updates - to everything , cloud key , protect , os , doorbell , chime ; half the (expletive deleted)ing ubiquiti global network I think . Over and over again ! Finally can’t get anything else to update . Device discovery seems a bit hit and miss . But finally it’s all up ! Doorbell install is the worst I’ve ever seen . Plastic bits that don’t fit all held in place by a tiny m2 screw . Shite . Googling confirms my frustration . Hence in the photo the packaging tape holding that tiny (expletive deleted)er in place to reduce probability of falling out and losing it . Package cam is shite ( not that I was concerned about that ) - doesn’t even show that in the app - but does in the web ui . Oh and doesn’t identify a package anyway . Custom ring tones ? - nah , without ssh into it . What (expletive deleted)ing year is it !? Chime not loud 🫤 Anyway the chime works ( poe ) though you can’t configure / custom the chime . For a premium product with a premium price it’s a bit slack . Still - on test now . Instead of the default (expletive deleted)ing pointless dog picture on the screen I have a photo of one of my curries .

Clearly any of that wall is an issue as it sits on the slab . So I’ll fill more of those gaps but that doesn’t mean a hairline gap couldn’t open up . Might put a line of ct1 right in that edge I.e where the coping stone meets the wall stone . Over the entire wall , both sides .Think I’ll need to inspect the wall every year for any vulnerabilities….

Bummer ! Still leaks ! Considerably less though . That corner is bone dry so not there . i did notice this though … when the sun comes and it’s dry going to hose just that bit

Waiting for substantial rain …..

I said that many posts earlier ! I want credit for that !!!
