    Is anything available in the Ubiquiti store? They should rename it the "out of stock" store.

      My IT supplier (UK) apparently has 43M in Ubiquiti back orders. I suspect they have been hit hard by the chip shortage.

      They should at least add an estimated date for things to be back in stock. I don’t recommend anyone going with ubiquity.

    I love my G3 Instant. I should have got 3 more when I had the chance as It’s been over 6 months since I have seen the Flex or G3 instant in stock. I would rather they work on current stock then trying to make new stuff that is basically vaporware at this point. I did notice no shortage on EBay which has turned into the UI blackmarket. I’m not ready to pay triple the MSRP yet.

    A guy on the Ubiquiti discord saved the initial video which mentioned smart detections and then compared it to the reposted video which didn't. It looked like the only change was removing mention to smart detect.

    IPX5 means "Can resist a sustained, low-pressure water jet spray", which is better than just withstanding splashes (IPX4). Basically, you should be able to turn your hose on this camera and have it be fine, although it won't stand up to your pressure washer or being submerged. Basically IPX5 is what we look for in outdoor cameras, it should be able to handle pretty much any rain no problem

    I have already 3 "UniFi Protect G3 Instant" cameras, they are out of stock if you login with an already used email adres.
    What I did was just login with all the email adresses I have, I used the same shipping adress al the time, so they don't check that.

    @johnpoldo8817 2 роки тому

    There are so many applications where power isn’t available or much too costly to add. If using in my home, wifey would require power line hidden in wall and ugly power cube would be visible below if not hidden by furniture. I prefer battery power, but surely this new camera has a market.

  • @compudude
    @compudude 2 роки тому

    Eh. Interesting, I suppose, but I don't need one outdoors. That means it's mostly about the extra resolution and perhaps better electronics? (TBD I guess, smart features and such)
    For $29 the G3 is hard to beat. I need to remember to try to pick up a couple more of those, because at that price I can easily think of use cases. For $100, though, I think I'd rather look hard hardwiring and saving a few bucks on a G3 Flex or paying a little more for the G3 bullet.

    does anyone know if's possible to hardwire the G3 or G4 instant cameras? I know they use USB but is there an adapter where you can plug it into ethernet. I can see they sell the INS-3AF-USB but that only seems to deliver power and not data connection.
    But I'm thinking of the way that google has an adapter for their Chromecast where you can connect it to ethernet.

    The g3 instant has been in stock for long time in the Eu store, I got 5 for my home and at this price (29) is difficult to beat. I would like to have face recognition in the G4, not smart recognition, to be alerted only when some not authorised people is in the house. Or an easy way to use geofencing in protect app.
