    its great to start with including services even if cloud based that you already have devices on. Then you can get accustomed to the entity / dashboard buildout at a simple level. Its amazingly flexible and addicting

    Ubiquiti -- Cloud Gateway or Cloud key + Standard Gateway

    I had 3 of them at different sites and would get about 6mo - 1.5yrs out of drives. (They are 2.5” as well). Finally replaced one with an SSD and that has done better. I run UDM SE’s with no issues and have one NVR which is a beast (it is a bit faster review footage, pulling up live views, etc)...

    Ubiquiti -- Cloud Gateway or Cloud key + Standard Gateway

    N00b configuration questions about NAS.

    What you would actually be better off doing is setting up a couple of the drives as a RAID in the NAS. This will protect from a drive failure.

    Unifi - Extender vs PTP wifi

    The Nanostations are amazing and rock solid. You cant manage them in Unifi, but dont need to. I have had many setup for years and just treat it like a hardwire link, they always restore after power outages, disruptions, etc. The PTP unifi devices are overpriced compared to that nanostations...

    Set it and forget it--- Multi wan load balancing/failover wired router

    For dead simple failover, I have had great luck with Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro and SE. Not a ton of customization, but it is very reliable and quick to manage the failover seamlessly. Have been running at a few sites and my home for over 2yrs.
