Nice video! I love my UniFi Protect setup, I have a mixture of G5 Bullets, AI Bullets and a G4 Doorbell Pro all connected to a UDM-SE in a server rack in my basement. The initial installation was a pain in the ass but it's far more reliable than my previous Eufy and Nest cameras and I no longer pay a subscription. I also got a sweet network upgrade at the same time since I'm able to take advantage of UniFi Network and now have PoE WAPs. Another pro for wired cameras that was missed is security - PoE cameras are not susceptible to WiFi jammer attacks, which are becoming increasingly popular these days.
This came out at the PERFECT time for me, I'm moving in about a month and was planning on getting a security camera. Thank you for putting this together!
Hi Jimmy, I just want to say that I appreciate your videos very much. I like your presentation style where you make a bit fun (often about yourself:). Your videos are packed with useful information and at a nice quick speed. 👌
Thanks for your home setup videos. Your home network a video and this one of cameras thought something very cool that I didn’t know existed: that you can have power over Ethernet cables. Just in time because I’m building a home and I was planning on wiring both internet and power cables for each camera location, now I won’t thanks to you 😊
We have a WYZE camera at home, the device itself works well but the software is intentionnaly bad to push their subscription. - Local recording is hidden in some sub menus and they're always promoting their cloud storage when trying to access it. - There's no proper way to set up a multi user home/away routine to not get a ton of notification everytime my kid goes in the yeard to play - Forget about any kind of usefull home automation (I'd love to be able to turn on light at night if the camera detects something)
Since you mentioned UniFi is a bit pricey, you should have added that in the next UniFi Protect update (currently in beta) they will add ONVIF support, which will allow you to add 3rd party cameras to Protect.
i live in the uk, but want to put cameras up on my beach house on Argentina, and view them back in the uk when i'm not there. SOMEBODY HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM!!!!!!!.. who and what system do i purchase??...........many many thanks in advance!!!
You made me feel old when you brought up graduating then getting a big boy job and buying a house. I choose not to believe I graduated in 2020 and have a 9-5 type job.
So what your saying is after doing all this research the best choice for you was ubiquity products because you got them for free and you already have ubiquity infrastructure - so your advice is get whatever you can get as cheap as possible, thanks great video got it.

Honestly, didn't even think of that last point but great additional benefit to PoE cams. Looks like you're as stuck in the Ubiquiti ecosystem as I am.
24/7 recording I assume? Thats what I hate about the new nest cameras
Overwhelming but neccessary information. Great job.

So half my life savings have also gone to Ubiquiti
Do you know if there is any software that you could install in your NAS, that would serve as a cloud storage for any of this cameras? 🤔

Just closed on my first house and we're shopping around for solutions!
Congrats! Being a first time homeowner is always an exciting time. Hope this helps in that journey!
2 Rivians 😮Can you do a video on them?
Great catch! Might have something planned for October 😉
hi
You made me feel old when you brought up graduating then getting a big boy job and buying a house. I choose not to believe I graduated in 2020 and have a 9-5 type job.
You graduated during covid and had a job for less than 5 years. Calm down buddy, you got plenty of life ahead 😉
I know how you feel. I graduated a few years before that. There's plenty to look forward to even after!
