Ubiquiti has asked for a (genuine) photo of their equipment deployed in a typically Aussie setting.

I guess a picture of a NanoStation with a Kangaroo in the foreground, or Sydney Opera House in the background would be ideal - but I am sure there are plenty of other iconic settings.

Please email any suitable photos to clark@freenet-antennas.com.au and I will make sure they are passed on to Ubiquiti.

PayPal
Integration

Ubiquiti UniFi can operate with a PayPal gateway - making it practical to have a pay-as-go HotSpot.

There are two ways to get this to work:

• Use a Paypal Pro account, which is more expensive but simpler.
• Use a Paypal Standard account.

AirCam
SD Card
Recording

Did you know that some Ubiquiti AirCams can record directly onto a removeable microSD card - without sending the video data across the network.

When set up this way - the camera only needs power - not LAN access. Ideal for setting up a camera to record what is going on while you are away.

The camera records AVI files onto the SD card. Recording options are:

And - you can fine tune the Motion recording by setting the motion sensitivity and by selecting a rectangular motion 'zone'.

Playback is via the internal WebGUI in the camera, or you can remove the card and play it back on another PC.

These cameras support microSD card recording:

• airCam Mini
• airCam Dome

For Long PtP Links Ubiquiti recommends using Long Range PtP Link Mode.

But how long is 'Long'? It depends on channel width. Here are the latest recommendations from Ubiquiti.
