  • It has been a minute, but we are back! Kicking off 2024 with a review of the Ubiquiti G4 Instant WiFi camera. In this video, we are going to review the removal, adoption, and base configuration of this small yet powerful camera.
    More to come in this series as we navigate the high-level features of Ubiquiti's NVR application, Protect.

    I have a couple G5 bullets outside. I might pick up a couple of these for inside. Thanks for the in-depth video!

      Absolutely! I am running the G4 Bullet and G5 Domes along with the G4 Doorbell Pro PoE kit too.
      7 cameras in total all on the UCK. They all run great!
      About to upgrade to the UDM Pro this week. Curious to see if the experience improves.

    I had a G4 instant working well. Then I had to restore the to factory default my UDM Pro to fix a VPN problem. Now the G4 instant will not adopt without a secret code? How does one find of get this secret code?

      @@DIYJim-wx6hq Hmm, not aware of this secret code. Did you factory default the G4 instant using the physical button?
      If all else failed, try ubnt as that is the default password on their appliances.
      Let me know how you make out!

    Is it possible to get unifi G4 instant working without any access points or other unifi hardware? Only laptop, tablet, phone..

      @@IvoKlerk Negative - the device is wireless and needs to be adopted by a UniFi controller with the protect application installed. This would be a UDM, UCK, or UNVR.

      Some preliminary questions: Are you using the provided USB-C cable and charger brick? If so, have you attempted to plug it into another, known good outlet?
      It seems that there are some QC issues with them: community.ui.com/questions/G4-instant-keeps-losing-power/f056211f-e662-4739-b3aa-79b2b6827750
      Depending on when you purchased it, direct from Ubiquiti comes with a two-year warranty. You should be able to RMA the unit if it continues to have issues.
