1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

I did some digging to interpret what the debug data at the top of the images mean. This is what I found:

HQ: Indicates that the camera is currently using its High Quality stream profile
E: Stands for Enhanced Video Encoding

CS:[32-16000-16000]:00: Represents the Camera-to-Server connection stats.
32: The minimum required stream bitrate.
16000: The target encoding bitrate.
16000: The maximum allowable bitrate cap configured in the Protect settings
:00: An internal system status code indicator

M:NA: Stands for Motion Adaptive Bitrate. In setups where it is enabled, the camera dynamically drops or scales up the bitrate depending on how much movement is happening in the scene. The "NA" means it is not actively fluctuating or is currently fixed to your maximum streaming profile

@30: Displays your active framerate setting of 30 Frames Per Second (FPS).
T: 16000: The Target Bitrate that the camera is actively attempting to transmit back to your UniFi console or Network Video Recorder (NVR)
L: 0: Typically reflects a placeholder or benchmark indicator for internal packet Latency or dropped frames. A score of 0 is ideal, indicating no latency issues.
1/120: The current Shutter Exposure Speed. This means the sensor is letting in light for 1/120th of a second per frame.
R:1977: Represents the Recorded Bitrate. This is the exact number of actual bits per second being packaged and received by the NVR.

I believe that bitrate may be something that needs looking into. Why is it recording at that if I have it set to the Maximum of 16000.
Also, from what I've gathered, I can tell the camera to not include certain zones in its interpretation of exposure needed for the scene. It looks like I can include that bush in a zone to ignore.
Also, it looks like I can turn on an Enhanced bitrate zone to force a higher bitrate in certain areas.

The only reason I bought the two for comparing, is I want the best combo for usability and image quality. The price is just a range I'm comfortable with spending up to. I don't want to go to the extreme ranges of some systems, even though those may be better quality and more user friendly. I'm really enjoying the Protect system. If I can get the cameras to operate to be able to identify persons/vehicles at all hours over a multitude of scenes, I'll go the Unifi route most probably due to the Protect system. That may mean adding Dahua cameras with AI ports. The pricing is a range. Anything from the low part of that range to the high (unifi) end is acceptable to me.

So, can you tell us exactly how you made g6 pro to produce better night videos of moving objects?
Have you added any aditional lights?
And how to add that diagnostic info the the video?

Looks fine up-close, still skeptical about motion in distances further away

I noticed the most difference when I zoomed in to where the bush directly below it was not in the image. I believe it was overexposing the scene. I moved the FPS to 30. I also have it set to frame clarity mode. I bumped the video compression to custom and moved it as far up as possible. The overlay is in recording settings as well if you check Bitrate.

Are you seeing any ghosting after all those changes?

Not up close, but like @Arjun said, there is some the further out you go. I'm going to be making some changes like I said in one of the posts above to try enhanced bitrate zones and the masking of zones to where it doesn't overexpose other areas.
