I’m not going to cover the steps on building a VM. I guess the same migration plan could be followed if you were migrating sites from controller to controller. As I won’t have a need for the cameras after settlement, I need to prepare the device by moving my networking components to a new linux based controller but keep all the cameras on the existing CloudKey2 controller to leave with the property.

The CloudKey Gen 2 controller includes a 1TB HDD for recording video from the cameras and is also the software controller for the networking components. A few of those components include a CloudKey controller and a number of UniFi Protect cameras which naturally became a bit of a selling point for the house. I am a huge UniFi fan having multiple devices in my home network installation which have been flawless since installation. Which brings me to why I’m writing this this post. I’ve been quite busy at home having to get a few last minute things, like additional landscaping, pressure cleaning concrete, putting together flat pack furniture for my house in preparation for sale.
