What a coincidence... I installed one of these at my Front Door the day before this vdeo came out as I wanted something unobtrusive... It is so much better than the Hikvision I had in the same spot and being so small, it doesnt look out of place... 2 things you missed (maybe)... (1) When you get it lined up, there is a small screw on the side of the camera (without cover on) to lock the camera angle in place, and (2) One of those "instruction manuals" is a nice cleaning cloth.... I find with a good amount of light, it has an excellent picture, but not much light, it gets a bit grainy... But, overall, excellent product.
Haha, coincidence indeed. I was aware of the small screw, but didn't record it. However, I wasn't aware of the cleaning cloth 😂 I completely missed that. I am very happy with the picture, and we have light in the carport, so the picture is great. I still kinda wish it had a microphone in it.
@@LarsKlintTech I wondered at first why two instruction manuals, then decided to open both to find the cloth. Regarding the microphone, for my situation/location of the camera, I have a Eufy Doorbell (to be replaced with Unifi) so that has the abillity for me to listen/talk.
@@robear0135 The pressure of recording and remembering to say everything sometimes means I miss things. Not the first time, won't be the last 😂 Yeah, excellent. The G4 Pro Doorbell?
@@LarsKlintTech - All good.. Keep the videos rolling through... Just posting what I came across for others... mmm.. I'll have to check out the G4 Pro doorbell now... Anyway, off to your Merch shop now... 🙂
Nice review, I hadnt even seen the "no mic" thing but mine is mounted in a room where I dont realy need audio anyway :) I also prefer the Turret and its a HUGE improvement over the G3 and G4 Flex´s I have now thrown in the "I will deal with you later"-pile :)
I'm annoyed on your behalf that you install the camera and then have to go back and adjust it after its adopted. Please adopt the camera at your network rack before you install it, so you can see the camera on your phone and install and adjust all at once, saves going up and down the ladder. Even if not for yourself, for my sanity haha Apart from that, great video as always, I'm dissapointed I did g4's at my house, the new camera are significantly better and cheaper, I really bought at the wrong time
There are many ways to install it. In some of the videos I have adopted the camera from the phone after install, which does allow me to adjust straight away. I'll keep it in mind ☺ The G4 range was excellent at the time, and still performs. Technology improves all the time, and if we kept waiting, we'd never do anything. Thanks for watching as well mate 🤓
You just had to put me on the spot, didn't you Terence? 😛 It kinda depends on the scenario, so I'll give you three. 1) For best bang for your buck, the G5 Turret Ultra. It has a very high quality image and very long IR range for a very low price. 2) All time favourite is the AI Pro with the AI Pro Vision Enhancer. It is extremely high quality, tracks number plates, faces, animals, and lots of noises. With the enhancer, you get a loud speaker, excellent floodlight, 40 meters IR range, and a radar. I just love that camera. 3) For the most versatile, feature rich, most room for upgrades (from Unifi) is the G5 PTZ. It is really capable and has some super neat features. My video on this comes out next week. Which is your favourite?
Just found your channel and ive been loving it so far. I have a horse barn i want to mount a Unifi camera to along with some Ir floodlights. I want to be able to see as far as i can at night. What would you recommend for that? i would assume the g5 pro would be best? so like, which is best at night without the built in ir light? Ill also be putting a g5ptz to look around and the 1/2.4" is a sensor size idk why they measure like that, but its just a weird fraction of an inch. 1/2.4th of an inch 0.41666" (repeating of course)
Welcome Ryan 😊 And thanks for the kind words. For a barn you want something wide angle. The G5 Pro is a great camera, but in this case I'd say check out the G5 Turret. It is a very clear image, and the IR range is excellent. I know you said you'd put up IR floodlights, but check it out anyway. I did a video on it last week. It will save a lot of $$ and it might just be what you need. Otherwise the G5 Pro is a very good camera too. I am currently editing the G5 PTZ video, which will be out next week too 😁 Alright, now I need to then figure out which sensor does a better job in what scenario. Thanks mate.
@@LarsKlintTechhmm I think I’ll try the turret. Reasonably priced and I like the look. Better IP rating than the bullet anyway. Larger sensor could mean higher quality images, or just more light. And obviously a 1/2” is bigger than a 1/2.4”. It just looks really weird having a fraction on a decimal Can’t wait for the PTZ video! I watched your turret video not long after it came out.
@@ryancrazy1 Awesome. Sounds like a plan ☺ Yes, I've learnt it is just the sensor size in weird American measurement 😂 I will have to learn a bit more about sensors. The PTZ is going to be a long video. So many things to explore....
@@LarsKlintTech Just got my G5 PTZ installed today. Things i hope youll cover. 1 Focus issues? seems the auto focus is a bit, eh? 2. Holy moly that fish eye. i wonder if they will implement fisheye correction. 3. color shift in the corners? 4. can you control PTZ features with the Protect viewport? not sure if you have one of those. i haven' gotten to play with person tracing or anything like that. Also Let me know if you want me to collect any data for you. view distances /etc
@@ryancrazy1 Thanks Ryan. I am sort of covering the first one, but not the others. I haven't noticed the colour shift tbh, and I don't have a viewport. Please do comment on the PTZ video when it goes live too 😊
It would be interesting to see a solar panel camera from Unifi, but there are several challenges. 1) Keeping a battery charged with a solar panel for a high quality camera that runs 24/7 is a tall order. You either need a big solar panel or a big battery, and even then you aren't guaranteed it won't run out. 2) Unifi is known for their reliability and high quality in cameras. A solar powered camera is by design not as reliable as a wired camera. 3) A solar panel adds complexity to the engineering and design, so the prize might be too high for the market, which is used to very cheap solar panel cameras currently available. In your case, maybe it is worth looking at cable runs or PoE adaptors for things you are able to install.

Look at those cobwebs. Gotta love regional Australia. Lol.
Hahaha, yeah. And I cleaned the carport 6minutes and 42 seconds before I recorded too. 😂

I would prefer a solar panel option for power, I rent so I can’t drill

I’ve seen other manufacturers that offer small solar panels for their cameras
@@wilty5 I'm not saying it doesn't exist or is possible, just that there are compromises.
no audio! Ughhh I was sold on this camera until no audio...
I would have liked to see that too. Have you considered the G5 Turret Ultra?
@@LarsKlintTech Yes that's what I'm looking at now
@vipjeffvegas excellent. I did a video on that too if you want to check it out.
@@LarsKlintTech I have a G5 bullet and I'm wondering how that compares to the latest turret as far as audio and video quality?
@@vipjeffvegas They are very very similar imo. The video is probably slightly better on the G5 Bullet, and the audio is about on par for both.
Isn't this US dollars.
Yes, it's USD129.
