If you are curious whether Ubiquiti ditched the fan on the new U7 Pro Max, well, I have some bad news for you. I opened the device and this is the teardown video.
Are Ubiquiti devices still the best value for homelabs and small businesses these days?
For home, second hand Ubiquity might be. You can get flying saucers taken off from corpo upgrades for dirt cheap.
That’s where literally all my stuff comes from. Cameras, switches, APs, so much unifi in this house and I barely paid for any.
Cameras? Maybe it’s a UK thing, but the only ones I can ever find on eBay are yellowed G3s for silly money.
G3 domes and bullets, perfect condition in unopened boxes. Straight from the local schools to my friend.
No. TP-Link Omada is usually better and cheaper these days and offers nearly identical features.
And TP Link can be used standalone,the controller is just a gimmick.
For pure networking (not WiFi) Mikrotik is also a reasonable alternative,but requires more knowledge.
