A feature requested 2 years ago still has not been implemented is concerning, especially for LPR. AI / Pro features should be AI / Pro features - not anything inferior.
I wonder if it will be possible someday to unlock the full potential of these UniFi cameras through custom firmware versus the out of the box experience

I hope eventually they are going to implement this. I'm using Ubiquiti network stuff for many years already, and they are making it better and better with every update,
UDM-Pro for example, nowadays it's many times better than it was after initial release in 2019, and they still improving it.

You can use them with Blue Iris via RTSP

Well yes and no, the rtsp stream is coming from Protect iself, not from the camera. So, you can use it with Blue Iris but you have to have Protect for that.

One more observation, this car was easily detected by both T54IR-ZE-S3 and T54PRO-ZE but not by G6 Pro

And one more data point, snapshots from the middle of a cloudy day.
Notice, that T54PRO-ZE looks a bit better than T54IR-ZE-S3 in this case.

And G6 Pro with really good static image, buggy WB, and fuzzy car

Slow shutter speed on the G6 Pro? Who knows because you can't get in there and see what it is.

So is the Camera GUI on Ubiquiti locked down? Or just very limited?

But... it's an Ubiquiti device, it should just work, right?
Today I've changed config to make the shutter faster, still, the snapshot is not as good as from other two cameras.
I think the daytime quality could be improved by firmware updates. But it looks like night time problems is a result of the sensor IR performnce that is not fixable .

Technically, you can log in to the camera, but you can only change network config, update firmware, and stuff like that. Nothing related to the video settings.
There is very limited number of settings accessible through Protect interface, but nothing comparable to Dahua cameras.
