Anyone here tried Ubiquiti's Camera G4 Pro? (Has a 1/2" sensor)

[Arjun]

Why would anyone spend $440+ on one single camera that "probably" doesn't have Starlight+ like technology

I think there are two reasons people buy Ubiquiti cameras.

1. They already trust the Ubiquiti brand to provide a great value, and don't want to do any research or learn a new system.
2. See reason #1.

Exactly...

That video doesn't make them look so great. I thought the 4th series were better than that.

Also doesn't inspire much confidence in the reviewer when he says at the start that he has no clue what the camera specs mean. ; )

Yes, well not all reviewers are experts in the subject matter they are reviewing, and that is okay I think. It is always good to know how less-experienced users deal with a product.

That's true. And does provide a more honest review of what they'd expect for results. Hopefully there's some better tuning that can be done to improve the night results. The IR blow-out was terrible.

I really liked Ubiquiti's first Aircam, but I think that was mainly out of ignorance. A few years later when I discovered Hikvision's DS-2CD2032-I and similar 3MP cameras, I never saw another Ubiquiti camera that I wanted.

People buy it as they have existing hardware and enjoy the so called plug & play ease. Given the asking price when compared to other similar priced options you’re absolutely getting robbed going with that unit.

Operational temperature isn’t close to industry standards of at least -30’C theirs is -20’C They still don’t offer what is considered next generation video compression from H.264+ / H.265+

Yet again no compliance with ONVIF?!? I don’t see any reference to RTSP so can’t say if theirs a method to connect??

Power consumption is one of the highest for a such a single lens camera of 12+ watts. So if you have 10-50 of these cameras get ready to bend over for increased electrical costs. The spec sheet offers no mention of smart IR or any AI but assume the latter exists somewhere??

If history is any indicator this box runs hotter than a mother fucker!
