Another well-planned and executed review video from Crosstalk Solutions of a Ubiquiti product. CS always provides reviews that are easy to follow and understand, useful, well-paced, and complete. Thanks from here on another really useful and clear review video.
@@CrosstalkSolutions 3:34 "802.3af or 802.3at POE" Is there a reason that they list the two types versus just 802.3af? I am new to POE but I assume 802.3af is compatible with all higher output standards? Is there something to gain by using 802.3at with this device?
Confirmed, it does work with Unifi Video, I have one set up on a client's set up. Have to be on version 3.10.7 or higher I think. I added no problem on version .8
Side Note: The LED features do not work, it simply does white for unmanaged and blue for managed, it does not do the rotating for motion or record indicator. You do get the zoom function and obviously the better picture. A rotating light wasn't a deal breaker.
Eyyyy Oregon! Didn't know you were local bro! Your videos pretty much saved our little cannabis farm. OLCC wanted so much surveillance, and kept recommending these cloud camera solutions. No chance, as we're so rural that we can't get a cable company to run line. You introduced me to unifi and now we're totally in spec. We even found an RV/Rural ISP to provide a modem on our dream machine. I have a Unifi building bridge on it's way to expand coverage to a new storage building and we're super stoked. Keep it up man, you do a lot of good. :)
Thanks so much for this review. It's helping me further make my decision between a four camera Ubiquiti or Reolink 4k system. So far, $470 seems a lot better than $2000.
I've had this camera for months now. Awesome quality! I just wish Ubiquiti would make a more robust DVR that could handle more than 10 of these 4K cameras at once. I love the Protect interface/software though.
@@rhdtv2002 that's not the point. The point is that these cameras are bandwidth hogs and the little laptop drive does not catch up. Some people have custom hardware but ubiquiti pretty much no longer develop unifi video and now are focusing on unifi protect, which lacks features and the ability to run on custom hardware.
I started researching this camera, but over at the UniFi community forums there are a lot of complaints about the lens fogging up on the inside. There is condensation even on brand-new devices after being powered on indoors after a couple hours.
because there is no native support from the web browsers ! Check out caniuse.com/#feat=hevc Otherwise you would need to install plugins and what not. License 265 for you plugin etc etc etc The camera is surely capable to encode into H265 it is saved for a later day I suppose.
Chris - FANTASTIC video - you tube warriors never realise just how much work goes into these - you do an amazing job - so from me - Thank you so much. FACTOID every minute in run time = equals an hour in effort - don't believe me - go try it.....
I think you could have gone full optical zoom if you manually adjusted the focus. Auto focus falls down in low light situations. So, if you had a fixed-point you wanted to keep an eye on, you could set your focal plane manually.
Im sold, just gotta save me pennies. Ready to get out of the NEST ecosystem. I think i may get one of each. Pro for the front and the other for the back. BUT my question I would like to know what brew that was you are drinking. Digging that can art.
Could you add a test comparing the G4 to the G3 with the IR extender added? It seems the main night difference was the IR output. Even with the IR extender, the G3 is still around $200. So wiild be a more fair comparison and would help see if the extra price for the G4 is worth it.
I've tested that exact setup and it's still not even close. The G4 is just light years better than the G3 at night even if you add the IR accessory and for that matter a separate IR illuminator.
I’ve been using the G3 IR extender for 2.5 yrs now and the G3 is useless without it. Also, the “enhanced mode” zoom is fantastic but I’m usually unzoomed.
I agree with Chris that 1080p is sufficient, but only if the camera itself has at least 4MP, 1080p starts with 2MP and the images of those cameras are not quite good. If you keep in mind that enterprise cameras like the ones from Mobotix used to have 5MP and now "only" have 6MP you somehow can't argue with a need for 4k in most cases
Great video made even better when Yogi bear stole the bird feeder (I'm sorry about that thought) 😂. Speaking as a Ubiquiti fan, I can't help but wonder why they price themselves so high with their cameras especially when you can buy 4k surveillance cameras with audio for $50 ~ $100 from Reolink, Amcrest, Dahua and others. They are out-Appleing Apple!
I've got two of the StarLight Dahua camers, I don't even turn on the IR any more! One of them is a zoom, a useless feature I swear. Size the lens right instead and save the cash. Need to swap out some of the others for StarLight cameras now. I do have a Ubiquity camera inside, can't beat the looks and size. It's been rock solid with BluIris.
Great video but my issue is car traffic and setting up the G4 Pro so it can clearly see vehicles with their headlights and taillights glaring that ruin video clarity. It would be great for you to attempt a night vision UA-cam to address this issue.
Great video as always. What would be even better is a video on how to deploy various cameras on various sites talking to one (1) single unifi protect controller. Same thing with Unifi controller, when deploying mesh networks to multiple site, with only 1 single Unif controller. THANK YOU!
This make the case for additional IR lights mounted up on ones eves. They could also be controller by motion detectors or just turned on at night. Since they would be mounted further from the camera and aimed toward the further distances they would no over illuminate the close in view.
I hope it works with unifi video. Protect is crap if you have many cameras, hardware just cannot handle it. Its fine for small installs, for big installs tho we need to be able to install protect on real hardware.
Purchased the G4 Pro and the G3 Pro for a project that required very high quality video to read a handwritten white board. Unfortunately neither camera was able fill the bill. The writing was just too small. But, that gave me alot of opportunity to review them side by side and compare. My conclusion was that although the G4 was a somewhat better quality picture than the G3 Pro I did not feel it was worth the extra money for my average circumstances.
Love to see the G3 pro vs G4 Pro in the future! Also If they allowed 1080p 30 or 1080p 24 recording on the G4 Pro it would be the best... But good comparison the standard G3 doesn't look like it will capture anything at night and is more blurry the G4 pro in the daytime... I know which one I'll avoid buying
Their old video stuff is great, we have about 36 cameras around our school as our security and works perfectly. But protect without giving us bigger hard drives, that many cameras will eat up a single hard drive space. Particularly an SSD that you would really need to put in for this camera. (Not to mention the cost would go up.) We need A.) The ability to chain all these CloudGen2's into a single interface where we can watch all the live streams at once and view recordins easily without worrying where the data is coming from, this would at least allow us to have multiple ones and treat them as a single unit. Or B.) Give us the ability to create our own hardware, or bring out a Pro version that is actually Professional. They throw the word Enterprise around a little but their new bigger one still only has 1 hard drive. It needs minimum 4 and be able to run 50 cameras minimum.
Reading reviews on amazon, many are complaining about fogging on the lens . We’re not talking a single review but numerous issues with the same problem. I was interested till I read that ,but not understanding why it’s happening on this model and if there’s been a fix ?
I think you misunderstood. He has stopped selling installations with Unifi Video as the controller, and only had Unifi Protect at home so he can't test it (without setting some up again). So he hasn't switched away from Unifi products, he just uses Protect as the controller. Edit: okay I see how it could be heard as not selling Unifi for camera installations.
subwarpspeed yeah, I was coming from the thought that his customers will still be needing camera solutions even though protect might not meet the requirements. If that’s the case, what is he now recommending? Also, if he’s using a different recording solution would it even work with Ubiquiti cameras?
@@1Corinthians15v1-4 well Unifi cameras can be run standalone and stream RTSP but that won't be a 'solution'. One doesn't buy Unifi cameras for a great image quality for their price...
Not sure it would matter but I noticed when you did the night vision comparisons the G3 was in 720 still & the G4 was changed to 4k, not the defaulting 720. Why not change that G3 to 1080 and show that??
for nightvision we use IR floodlights that work really well with the G3 at a distance of 40 metres (130feet). So is the issue with the G3 the IR LED output in reality?
Just to confirm, the optical zoom doesn't help if you are viewing a recording, correct? It would have had to been zoomed in in real time for you to get any benefit I assume.
Another great video, thank you. Love the channel, love Ubiquiti networking products, but they really need to be more competitive with their cameras. Understand this is the top end, but even at $79 per camera they are getting left behind compared to other feature equivalent competitors. And don't even get me started on Protect...
Chris, did I see bear bells on your feet? How about license plates, with measured markers at 10 feet interval. Great job. I can tell the difference. What about storage?
I'm wondering whats the point of that optical 3x if you can only use it in real-time? Who's sitting and watching their camera live stream all day long? All I care about is whether I can look at my motion recording that happened 2 hours ago, zoom in and see whats up there.
Great video! Please is it possible to stand camera G4 Pro on a high cabinet? what is the minimum angle between the body of the camera and a flat surface? thanks for answer
I just got my new G4 Pro and put it outside the house. Then in one hour condensaiton occurs on the internal surface of the first glass lens on the G4 Pro!! This G4 pro have been manufactured 3/15/2020 in Vietnam. I just checked topics relevant to the condensation issues in the UI community and found that the condensation issues have be reported earliest from 10 months ago!!! What the hell this manufacturing issue has not been fixed at all almost 1 year after?? What do you say?
@ Crosstalk Solutions i tested the G4-Pro running on Unifi Video. currently on version 3.10.8. Can't say about how far back it is compatible, but i updated once or twice since i first tested it.
Interesting that the IR on the G4 is so bright it blows out the contrast when your face gets close. Do you know if you can turn off the LED on the face so it's a little more stealthy?
Thanks for the great, informative videos! Question....I have a UniFi setup...USG, CloudKey, etc. Thinking of purchasing the CKG2Plus and start using UniFi Protect cameras. What options are there to use these cameras where I have access to power, but not ethernet. Read that airGateways are EOL. Can I use a Nanostation AC to connect to my WiFi in bridge mode and connect camera to its PoE port? Is there a better solution? TIA.
I love Ubiquity products but their cameras are too expensive for my use. I have 16 Hikvision 4k H265 cameras that cost around $120.00 on an Intel computer running Sighthound. Awesome quality video and i can add even more cameras. Ubiquity's prices for their products can't be beat; except for the cameras.
I love Ubiquiti cameras but the one thing that really lets it down for me is live view latency. We use 6xG3's at our office but even with a dedicated PC just running Chrome that views the Cameras over the LAN we get a 2-3 second delay between people moving and then the camera screen reflecting that. I really wish Ubiquiti stepped it up in that department.
If you want really good night performance in low light look at the Dahua cameras with StarLight. In low light I get full color with a couple of those and some folks have even gotten star trails with them pointing at the sky!
Agreed, as I consider putting cameras on our new house this camera itself is what has me rethinking even continuing to use Ubiquiti for anything in the future.
On the app I can’t move the camera angle after I turned on the optical zoom. What am I doing wrong? I can’t imagine the optical zoom only works on one fixed plane
Do you recommend the g4 pro now or have you found a better alternative. I am looking to purchase 4 cameras and from your review the g4 pros seems to be the way to go .
EDC Knife - Check Tasty Beverage in Proper Glassware - Check Nerds on our Good Packaging - Check Into Ubiquiti - Check Did we just become best friends?
Generally things works anyway. I would guess very few want to do tests in much lower temperatures so what exists would probably be expensive. My first IP camera was a D-Link DCL-930. Not outdoor rated. I sealed the Ethernet port (used WiFi) and stuck it outside for a few years. It had some protection from rain pooring down on it but some winter it probably was below -20 °C. I think it actually worked when I took it off service. So my point - if you are okay with not claiming eagerness l warranty I guess things like this work a bit colder too.
@@bockenrecords but this will be my first winter with Unifi cameras so that was more of a general statement. I would guess there can be more information on community.ui.com/questions

If you want really good night performance in low light look at the Dahua cameras with StarLight. In low light I get full color with a couple of those and some folks have even gotten star trails with them pointing at the sky!
the bigger lens should help alot as well..
Amazing Camera... Wow... But way overpriced... Who's gonna pay $800 (Australian) per camera, that's pretty steep.
Agreed, as I consider putting cameras on our new house this camera itself is what has me rethinking even continuing to use Ubiquiti for anything in the future.
Do you think there is a less of a difference between the G3-Pro and this camera? Is the G3-Pro a bit better?
Instructive video, but I'm curious just how much video a Dream Machine Pro with 8TB hard drive can store?
Any condensation between the lens cover and the lens?
1440p setting would be awesome
That beer has beautiful IPA color!
ahaha damn the bear stealing the bird feeder was the best!!
Why this G4 Pro doesn’t have the “Lens correction” in the settings like G3 ?
On the app I can’t move the camera angle after I turned on the optical zoom. What am I doing wrong? I can’t imagine the optical zoom only works on one fixed plane
Can this camera zoom in enough to read a license plate? And roughly at what distance?
Great video Chris, but they can keep it for that price. Outdated sensor and H.264? Really?
Interesting. Does it support onvif, and normal RTMP or RTP over TCP or UDP streaming to NVRs?
No ONVIF - but it has RTSP.
You should do Unifi Cloudkey G2 Let's Encrypt for all the controllers: Unifi, Protect and CK! That would be awesome.
Thank you for you are helping kindly link the software that you use for any equipment
Do you recommend the g4 pro now or have you found a better alternative. I am looking to purchase 4 cameras and from your review the g4 pros seems to be the way to go .
This may not pertain to this exact video. What are your thoughts on the new Dream machine plus a NAS vs a usg/cloud key setup. Home setup.
Anyway you could also do a Flex vs G4 Pro? Curious if that level is even more dramatic.
So what do you recommend we use now
Like the way, you used technology to make the top of the box disappear (1:06).
Does the G4 (nonPro) also have smart detection?
But is it IP 67 dust and weatherproof? ;)
How do you disable the blue ring feature on the camera to make it more discreet?
Stuff like this is generally done in the app assigned to the device, so in this case Unifi Protect.
EDC Knife - Check
Tasty Beverage in Proper Glassware - Check
Nerds on our Good Packaging - Check
Into Ubiquiti - Check
Did we just become best friends?
Cheers friend!
Hi Bro
Good Day To You,
UVC G3 PRO and UVC G4 PRO different view thanks.
hello. can u give me a link of your video. beginners guide how to install complete setup of cctv that i can monitor thru internet. thank u. good day
The downside is this cam has no wifi support. What do you think is a good solution for an outdoor setup with no network cable?
Would be fun to compare G3-pro at night and the g4-pro.
Hi Chris,
how can i digital zoom in ? with which shortcut ?
Great demo....tks
-20 Celcius.. Damn I can't use it since it can go down to 30 minus where I live.. Do the company have a camera that works in really cold conditions?
Generally things works anyway. I would guess very few want to do tests in much lower temperatures so what exists would probably be expensive.
My first IP camera was a D-Link DCL-930. Not outdoor rated. I sealed the Ethernet port (used WiFi) and stuck it outside for a few years. It had some protection from rain pooring down on it but some winter it probably was below -20 °C. I think it actually worked when I took it off service.
So my point - if you are okay with not claiming eagerness l warranty I guess things like this work a bit colder too.
@@subwarpspeed Thanks for your comment. :-) I will purchase this one and hope for the best. :-)
@@bockenrecords but this will be my first winter with Unifi cameras so that was more of a general statement. I would guess there can be more information on community.ui.com/questions
Can you use it on your phone?
Does anyone know if i can use the G4 to use the camera to stream live videos?
Plan is to use the G4 to stream church service into the web.
Many thanks
How many cameras can the protect system handle?
Nice shirt!
Any chance of a Unifi 10GB kit review including the XG-Poe6 with copper connectivity?
Sure...when I get my hands on one I’ll do a review.
How can I turn off the LED ring? Super annoying.
