Night performance here sucks
Likely cannot be fixed in settings because customization is limited

The same can be said about any camera...

But it makes it even more expensive than Dahua OEM that can perform better with just onboard IR.
I have 8 Dahua OEM cameras, but I added two additional IR illuminators on two different cameras to get a farther reach and wider angle than the camera's IR illuminators. And the cost is minimal ranging from $25 to 50 dollar.

Right and even in adding supplemental IR to the Dahua OEM, you are still cheaper than the unifi cams...

Yeah it almost looks like that cam doesn't have its IR enabled.
Its likely the YouTuber is unaware that IR is off or is very dependent on the "Auto IR" feature :(
