Thanks for the review with such good examples. I tend to think that PTZ cameras have limited use if one is able to mount multiple regular cameras to get a variety of angles.
100Mbit connection isn't saturated, but it is garbage for latency. Latency is actually very important for this specific camera, but Unifi didn't care. Saving $5 per camera by not going Gbit was terrible. There is no fixing the autotracking or PTZ stuttering issues with software updates.
Nice review. I also have mine mounted in a corner and have noticed a tracking problem when people get close to the camera. The camera stops tracking just as a person gets to the corner of the house. It would be nice if the camera would continue turning rather than returning to Home when the AI tracking is lost. I would also like to see a "Patrol Mode" where the camera occasionally moves to different views. All my outdoor cameras have the status lights turned on as I hope the cameras being seen will be deterrent.
I have all the LEDs on also as a deterrent. For home use, it's great. I'm hoping with the AI tracking, they can improve it further to understand where the person is walking towards so the camera can get there before the person goes off-frame.
I thought that too at first. But it makes sense it doesn't track vehicles. A vehicle would be too fast to get any image. It would actually be worse and blurry.
The tracking function is promising but could be done better. I hope there will be improvements in further software versions.
I do hope the tracking is a bit more predictive and moves ahead of the person being tracked to really keep them on center of the frame.
The ability to patrol and then track when it finds a person would be amazing to have.

Yup. Gets more useful once you get more optical zoom but then gets more pricey ;)

Great review. Thank you. Particularly helpful were the comparisons at locations locations.
Thank you!

Who’s terminating cables like that?
There's cables without the strain relief boot. See the video description.
i wish this came in black,
They just added the G5 Dome Ultra in black so I'm hoping the G5 PTZ gets the same treatment.
@@ApexOneTech I HOPE SO
A shame it won’t track vehicles to
