We use these cameras for high pressure testing where we can't actually be in the room, but need to be able to look around the test setup and investigate issues without venting pressure (sometimes press up and vent can take hours depending on what's being tested and thermal limits). I can't tell you how many of these have become collateral damage when a 20,000 psi component fails.
Wide dynamic range is useful in situations where you have large differences in light level, such as a doorway with light streaming in. It compensates for the light difference and makes it easier to see details in the darker areas.
@@w2cfx id disagree, a nuben is generally a lump or pertruding object where as a grommet is designed with a hole to create a seal around some thing. They are used in completely different scenarios.
As a security guard, I can tell you that these types of cameras can be absolutely worth their weight in gold. You'll capture more on these things than you will walking around in a highly visible uniform. People won't even know anyone's watching them.
Certainly a good deal better than the five controlled cameras we had set around the College I used to work at (rest were static). There was always, at any given time, one out of service. I would have liked to see how well this camera faired in the dark, and in bad/harsh winter weather. Heck, just seeing this camera being controlled like this is weird. I had to contend with a yellowed Pelco control board.

I am a CCTV and door access technician certified for the top end systems available, such as Genetec and Avigilon. We do quite a bit of work with Axis, Avigilon, and Hanwha vision cameras. While I haven't messed much with Unifi cameras, if this can do human detection and then zoom and follow (which the previously mentioned do), this is crazy inexpensive. A 4k PTZ with 22x zoom in Axis will often cost around $7k US. Now one of the cooler features of Axis is they have a 4 headed camera with a PTZ mount in the middle of it. You can configure it such that any motion detected in the 4 stationary cameras (which does near fish eye level of view, except for the bottom) will cause the PTZ to turn zoom and track the said motion. It also does facial recognition. And all fed by a single CAT6. Though you would need a dedicated power cable also run to the heater and motor in the PTZ camera when combined with the 4 headed disk. All done and said, this costs around 12k, just for the hardware. For those thinking why not a fish eye then, it is resolution. Each of the 4 cameras can do 2k, and the PTZ does 4k. For those thinking this will end Axis and such, I doubt it. Axis offers a 5yr warranty and steep price cuts to re-sellers so they can get very decent margins while selling the camera at MSRP. Plus you get phone support without paying a monthly fee (the client of course fronts the bill for the product). If unifi really wanted to break into the enterprise space, at least into the world of enterprise integrators, they would need something similar. When the client buys it for the same price as the integrator, integrators see their margin going away and stray away from it. I think Unifi is a very good option in house operations who do their own install and configurations.
$1800 is cheap. I work for an AV company and we sell $10,000 PTZ cameras. They're insane and the companies who buy them do so without hesitation because what they watch is worth exponentially more than the cameras. For a prosumer/home user, yeah $1800 is on up there.
Id love to compare one of these to the commercial ones we install at my place of work. Hikvision Darkfighters are pretty good. ~ You could totally benchmark cameras against each-other.

Hey see if those cameras are IVMS 4200 compatible and check out the "3d zoom" function. - If you think clicking a spot on screen to move the camera there is awesome, you wait until you've drawn a rectangle around a distant object and the camera POV immediately moves and zooms to that exact position. Its pretty cool from an end user perspective. Get something with fully configurable PC software and you can straight up control it with an Xbox controller or Hotas. Also how good configurable is the night vision on those? It's legit the most important thing to consider with security cameras as break ins usually happen when its dark.

I could go on forever, I've worked with CCTV hardware/software for nearly a decade now, but anyway id love to see some much more extensive testing and comparisons between these and other security systems.
As someone in the security field I would like to disagree with the notion of "cameras aren't useful if others know where they are". That's false and touching on the idea of security through obscurity. If you want to be protected you should make sure you're measures are secure even when someone else knows where they are. If your security becomes useless just because someone else knows about it you should consider your security worthless from the start.
It's sure not something to rely on but if I were them I'd prefer not telling someone what exact software I use in case a 0-day comes out then at least I didn't tell everyone "today is the day to break in".
But for them as a brand, it will be a nightmare if burglars had LTT videos in their playlist. It is kinda how guilty PewDiePie felt after Newzealand shooter said 'Subscribe to Pewdiepie', even though there was no connection between the two. You don't want that sort of attention and security videos are bound to get it.
Netsec here, 100% agree. Jake knows nothing about security so we'll have to excuse him. Though not sure how anyone can't come to the simple conclusion as to why you would want someone to know they are in an area that has security. I guess it would be reasonable if you wanted to seem unsecure and were trying to catch people. But this isn't a sting operation, lmfao.
@@dannooo548 Eh, still doesn't matter. Every bit of software has inherent flaws, no place on earth is completely secure. It's far better to announce you have security over hiding the fact that you have security. Security is only a line of defense before insurance, unless you have something that insurance can't cover.
@@kirathekillernote2173 That's completely asinine and not realistic in any sense. On top of the most disconnected comparison I think I've ever heard. Lockpicking lawyer for example, proves all of that you just typed as garbage.
Actually cameras are more effective when people know where they are. People are afraid to get caught. Good illumination and visible security cameras make intruders less likely to break in.
@@draquex most security cameras are fixed. Having a PTZ camera is already expensive. Having a 20x or 40x zoom is also pretty expensive. Add the "4k" and all the other gadgets (like heater, lens wiper, etc.)... Also, it's an electronic security device... All those devices are expensives...
@@draquex It's commercial equipment. All commercial equipment is either very cheap for reasonable quality (simple restaurant grade tableware and kitchenware for example) or very expensive for things that commonly are reasonably priced (reinforced shelving, electronics and such). And that is primarily dependent on special uncommon features and secret know-hows. Tableware has none of that - it's cheap. Basic electronics are made to endure... EMP and Arctic temps - they're expensive af. Also there are corruption schemes with overpriced things which can provoke rising of the "real" prices.
Yep that's more of a home gamer ptz here. Cons is no audio/alarm i/o's/ h264/ no object tracking or patrol routes/ IR is seems to be laser type but only 100m?/ pretty small angle while unzoomed and zoom is 22x. For that price i'd just put 4x4k cameras with 3.6mm/98 angle lenses around whole building and see everything 24/7 without manual adjustment. This is just a moving toy that will be left in one place after a month or so playtime. Unless you have a security guard who is using it actively.
As someone who used to work for a security company when you install the camera you cut the Cat 5 yourself so before you put the adapter on the end of the cable you thread the wire through the rubber waterproof grommet then crimp the ethernet adapter on the end
As someone that is familiar with security stuff.... In your situation, you do not want a PTZ. As you pan and tilt (assuming you setup a tour). You will have dead spots in your recordings. And when you have an incident; you will not capture it fully. You will miss it as the camera tour around. You need a static HIGH megapixel camera with a wide-angle lens. Then you capture the entire area, and when you need a clip you can digitally zoom in, and still have a 4k video if you really want. Unless the camera / NVR has analytics and you can program it to track movement... but then I still do not like PTZ cameras in a fix shot location.

Imagine installing this thing right at the door and when someone comes up it turns to look at them and asks them to identify themselves.
1800$ is kinda cheap for a good 4k ptz. Usually the ones that I install are a bit bigger with 30x zoom (also 4k) and cost around 3000$ Anyway, excluding this camera the other ubiquity cameras are for no reason very expensive... The only good thing about them is the easy setup, very user friendly and made for the final user
@@victorreise5000 I think (and hope) that a product that seems this well engineered, and costs this much, it should have some protection against stuff like that.
I don't think there are step motor inside because they would have been much harder to turn if they were geared down or belted down , then he was spinning them like crazy so no step motor...it clearly uses brushless...so no problem in turning them, then for 1800$ as other users have said it should have the protection from overvolting built in
I'd love to see this compared to Axis and Bosch. We tend to spend $3,000 - $6,000 USD per camera. The biggest issue with the price of the Ubiquiti PTZ camera is it's inability to work on Onvif and only on the Unifi Protect System

But for them as a brand, it will be a nightmare if burglars had LTT videos in their playlist. It is kinda how guilty PewDiePie felt after Newzealand shooter said 'Subscribe to Pewdiepie', even though there was no connection between the two. You don't want that sort of attention and security videos are bound to get it.
Netsec here, 100% agree. Jake knows nothing about security so we'll have to excuse him. Though not sure how anyone can't come to the simple conclusion as to why you would want someone to know they are in an area that has security. I guess it would be reasonable if you wanted to seem unsecure and were trying to catch people. But this isn't a sting operation, lmfao.
@@dannooo548 Eh, still doesn't matter. Every bit of software has inherent flaws, no place on earth is completely secure. It's far better to announce you have security over hiding the fact that you have security. Security is only a line of defense before insurance, unless you have something that insurance can't cover.
@@kirathekillernote2173 That's completely asinine and not realistic in any sense. On top of the most disconnected comparison I think I've ever heard. Lockpicking lawyer for example, proves all of that you just typed as garbage.
Nice E90 M3. I have an E92 M3, also in Space Grey!
man i would love to see some night footage of this beast, the light this takes must be insane
More stuff like this, please. Security stuff is important!
"We're gonna be putting this in the front of the building"
Ah! So this video is for a tax write off. I'll indulge
They probably got it free
@@Swordhero111 yeah, maybe.
Actually cameras are more effective when people know where they are. People are afraid to get caught. Good illumination and visible security cameras make intruders less likely to break in.
1800$ for a commercial grade PTZ with those specs is cheap. For comparaison, a Sony SRG-X400 is around 3500$CAD.
What benefits does the 3500 camera offer that justify a premium price? Genuinely curious, I don't know much in this field
@@draquex probably much better night mode and can read stuff at night
@@draquex most security cameras are fixed. Having a PTZ camera is already expensive. Having a 20x or 40x zoom is also pretty expensive. Add the "4k" and all the other gadgets (like heater, lens wiper, etc.)...
Also, it's an electronic security device... All those devices are expensives...
@@draquex It's commercial equipment. All commercial equipment is either very cheap for reasonable quality (simple restaurant grade tableware and kitchenware for example) or very expensive for things that commonly are reasonably priced (reinforced shelving, electronics and such). And that is primarily dependent on special uncommon features and secret know-hows. Tableware has none of that - it's cheap. Basic electronics are made to endure... EMP and Arctic temps - they're expensive af.
Also there are corruption schemes with overpriced things which can provoke rising of the "real" prices.
Yep that's more of a home gamer ptz here. Cons is no audio/alarm i/o's/ h264/ no object tracking or patrol routes/ IR is seems to be laser type but only 100m?/ pretty small angle while unzoomed and zoom is 22x. For that price i'd just put 4x4k cameras with 3.6mm/98 angle lenses around whole building and see everything 24/7 without manual adjustment. This is just a moving toy that will be left in one place after a month or so playtime. Unless you have a security guard who is using it actively.
We have a similar corporate use camera with a 40x zoom and it uses a joystick so it feels so cool to use
You guys should have filmed an episode using this camera lol
Crazy thing is a minute in, UA-cam interrupted the video to show an ad for that thing you're running that camera with.
Honeyyyyyy NOOOOOOOO
From the beginning, I thought the price was fair, but after seeing that demonstration- holy hell! I gotta get one of these.
I thought the image was an earbud lmao.
You are not alone.
After reading your comment, I can't unsee it.
As someone who used to work for a security company when you install the camera you cut the Cat 5 yourself so before you put the adapter on the end of the cable you thread the wire through the rubber waterproof grommet then crimp the ethernet adapter on the end
Linus in 1 week: upgrading ALL my security cameras to ubiquiti G4's
"And now, for the main attraction."
Pulls out foam guard
"It weighs probably 40 lbs"
*weighs 15 lbs*
He's a Dufus.
Next video will be building a new server room so he can store all the 4k 25fps footage from his $1800 security camera 24/7.
As someone that is familiar with security stuff.... In your situation, you do not want a PTZ. As you pan and tilt (assuming you setup a tour). You will have dead spots in your recordings. And when you have an incident; you will not capture it fully. You will miss it as the camera tour around. You need a static HIGH megapixel camera with a wide-angle lens. Then you capture the entire area, and when you need a clip you can digitally zoom in, and still have a 4k video if you really want.
Unless the camera / NVR has analytics and you can program it to track movement... but then I still do not like PTZ cameras in a fix shot location.
Imagine installing this thing right at the door and when someone comes up it turns to look at them and asks them to identify themselves.
This is GladOS
I cannot wait to see Linus with 200 UniFi Protect cameras and 10 UniFi Protect NVR Pros.
Tried to pull of a linus move there by removing the sticker but failed to drop it
Strangely enough, something like this is something I always dreamed of having. So cool!
Broke: Breaking in and stealing the electronics
Woke: Stealing the camera
So I've been noticing that sweet 335i for almost every episode that there is a parking lot scene. I DID NOT expect that it was yours lol
At this point I'll just screw a mirrorless on a gimbal mount into my wall. This security camera is insane
When the camera itself is so valuable it counts as swag in a burglary.
1800$ is kinda cheap for a good 4k ptz.
Usually the ones that I install are a bit bigger with 30x zoom (also 4k) and cost around 3000$
Anyway, excluding this camera the other ubiquity cameras are for no reason very expensive... The only good thing about them is the easy setup, very user friendly and made for the final user
I think I saw one of those hanging off the bottom of a Predator drone once
Seeing you spin it like that when you know its probably a step motor inside really hurts my eyes😢
Because?
I think In general its simply bad practice but in some cases you can overvolt the driver and do electrical damage a bit like static electricity
@@victorreise5000 I think (and hope) that a product that seems this well engineered, and costs this much, it should have some protection against stuff like that.
I don't think there are step motor inside because they would have been much harder to turn if they were geared down or belted down , then he was spinning them like crazy so no step motor...it clearly uses brushless...so no problem in turning them, then for 1800$ as other users have said it should have the protection from overvolting built in
@@fabiofoltran4361 i honestly dont actually think its a step motor either it wouldnt spin like that probs good quality brushless ya
I'd love to see this compared to Axis and Bosch. We tend to spend $3,000 - $6,000 USD per camera. The biggest issue with the price of the Ubiquiti PTZ camera is it's inability to work on Onvif and only on the Unifi Protect System
$1800 and sold out! Beastly
The 2021 buying experience.
Probably because Unifi has no other camera to like it.
I cannot WAIT to be joining the ShortCircuit team. Hello from INDA!
E-girls everywhere: Does it come in pink? I need one for my upcoming photo reel.
Out of words...
In-sane, sick, but just amazing
Jake: Weighs probably 40 pounds
Actually weighs 14😂😂😂
Soy boy never lifted a weight in his life, so he doesn't have a frame of reference for weight.
@@miketeeveedub5779 tf is a soy boy😂
I would have shown that 4k playback but zoomed to see how clean the image is. Would love to have seen that, great video _James_
Confirmed: Jake is using security cams for spying on hot girls.
Look at that mustache you know he is
I love, when you guys make videos about UniFi stuff. Keep up the great work.
If you think this stuff is expensive, look at axis security cameras. They have some $$$$ stuff
Axis IP camera with the Cam streamer plugin would of been cheaper 4k streaming to UA-cam for the tennis court video.
I personally don'y like PTZ's. Coverage wise, you're better off with the Axis P3719-PLE.
the mounting hardware for that thing sounds solid
So your basically telling me they stuck a DSLR in a security camera
I want that thing so bad, but the price makes me cry.
The Mounting is typical german we use this for everything
This was a coolest video everrrrrrr thanks guys!!!!!!!
Still can be destroyed with silenced pistol, so completely useless for my supervillain megalayer
Or just a laser pointer or decent throw flashlight
Megalair
I remember when my lecturer give a demonstration about this. He zoom in all the way until we see people at different building. 😂
Seeing a MAC get smashed would have been pretty satisfying.
Most of these videos don’t provide much information, they are opening this for the first time.
No difference in me opening the box and learning how to assemble.
They just read specs from website.
