The AI Pro is the flagship camera from Unifi, so of course I compare it to the G5 Pro and G4 Pro cameras. This is interesting.

Thanks so much for testing the cameras for us, it helps.

@LarsKlintTech Месяц назад

You are most welcome mate. More videos to come on this awesome camera too ☺

@Lonestar101 Месяц назад

I would like to know how The AI Pro works in Home Assistant. Can license plate detection or face detection be used to trigger an automation, for example?

@LarsKlintTech Месяц назад

Very very good question, which I also have. That will be a separate video, so coming soon ☺☺ Short answer; yes.

@annoyedlemon 22 дня назад

i am keen to get my hands on the G5 PTZ hopefully its a decent price in australia as currently ive got my g5 bullet setup as a traffic camera on a main road

@LarsKlintTech 21 день назад

I'm really keen to try it out too. It's a very different device from the G4 PTZ though.

@phgamer4393 29 дней назад

so ive never used the ubuiqit camera/nvr eco system but is there a way with all these detects to send a api call depending on plate or person . or maybe get logging so you can parse all the events and do something based on them. further more.

@LarsKlintTech 29 дней назад

Yes, you absolutely can. I use Unifi Protect with Home Assistant. One example is this video where I get the G4 Doorbell event and create a custom notification: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sMflKCJhYlE.html

@DonnieKluck 27 дней назад

Thanks for the video great as always. How are those enhancers that you can get for the cameras? New to unifi protect and looking to finally change out my other cameras (Nest, Arlo, Eufy, etc) for Unifi. So just curious about those enhancers.

@LarsKlintTech 26 дней назад

Funny you should ask. I just launched the video on the enhancer: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ptbcs3EiH00.htmlsi=1L27darNDfSL3Tc7

@DonnieKluck 23 дня назад

@@LarsKlintTech Ha ha ha that is to funny and what a coincidence. I had another question since this will be my first time venturing into Unifi Protect ecosystem from Eufy, Arlo, Google, Nest, etc. So do all the cameras have some basic AI capability (people, objects, vehicle, animals, etc)? But it is just the specific AI cameras they have more detailed AI like facial recognition and license plate identification? I just was not sure if I put a camera up someplace if it would have the basic AI identification or not. Or if they do which cameras those would be (Pro, Bullet, Instant, flex, etc). Since I was mainly looking t the Pro, Flex and Instant right now until I saw this video.

@LarsKlintTech 23 дня назад

@@DonnieKluck All the cameras have some kind of detections. The G5 Flex has "animal", "person", and "vehicle", as well as just general movement. I am not sure about the Instant (I haven't got one), but the Bullet and Pro cameras definitely do.

@LuftdroneDk Месяц назад

Nice comparison, I currently have 5x G4 Pro´s + a whole bunch of G4 and G5 domes, bullets etc. I have considered replacing those G4 Pro´s with either G5 Pro or the AI but I dont really need those extra features, so I will probably go for G5 Pro´s. I cant remember if you have tested the AI 360, but I was really disappointed with the video quality when I put that up as a replacement for 2x G4 domes on an overhang (corner).

@LarsKlintTech Месяц назад

Thanks mate ☺ I would choose the G5 Pro over the G4 Pro too, but it is harder with the AI Pro. I suspect it will get a lot more AI features over time. I haven't got an AI 360, but that is disappointing.

@TheSpanishmuscle Месяц назад

I have also seen the AI 360 and the quality is shocking

@CharlieSierraBroadcasts 29 дней назад

What about AI DSLR? There's no review with sample images or video clips on the Internet yet.

@LarsKlintTech 29 дней назад

The AI DSLR is very niche and very expensive, so the market is a lot smaller, hence you are less likely to see videos on it. If I got my hands on one, I would make a video on it though 😁

@RDlinkenhoker 19 дней назад

FWIW: I have the G5 Pro that I purchased at the tail end of its EA program (so I think it's the same hardware that went into production) and I have 4 of the AI Pros. The pixelation of the G5 Pro that you had in your video demo is very common on my G5 Pro, but I never get it with any of the AI Pros. Not sure if it's a hardware or software issue.

@LarsKlintTech 18 дней назад

Interesting. It could be my connection to the NVR in this case. I had a dodgy cable that was causing some issues. Or it could be processing on the camera itself?

@Stephen-Jones Месяц назад

I guess the big question is what's the price difference between the g5 and ai pro? If i ever move i think I'll be kitting out my house with lots of Unifi toys 🎉

@LarsKlintTech Месяц назад

Officially the G5 Pro is USD379 and the AI Pro is USD499, but they do fluctuate on resellers' sites.

@simonhall886 Месяц назад

Yes the grommit..... One of the biggest gripes I have is the difficulty in being able to get replacement grommets..... Some of us don't always buy new.... My solution, not ideal, is to get your cable right and then use a judicious amount of silicone sealant, as I said not ideal... If anyone knows where to get spares it would be great, support was not that helpful.

@LarsKlintTech Месяц назад

This is a good point. Silicone will work well, but a bit messy and tricky to move the camera then. I don't know where you get spares. I will add to my list to ask.

Yeah, thanks mate. Initially it was on, but I removed it pretty quickly. It only affected the night vision as well. The camera quality is as good as it gets ☺️

@@LarsKlintTech a little bit of understanding how image recognition works, it looks like one large black background of the bumper with a black background on the plate with silver letters and that’s a lot of pixels to process

@vardagsteknik6576 24 дня назад

Gflex 3 = Poor ?, UP sense = Poor ?? What kind of network speed do you have on these?

@LarsKlintTech 24 дня назад

The UP Sense always seems to be "poor", but works just fine. Not sure what that is about. The Llama cam 1 & 2 are connected via a NanoStation link, and at this time I had a dodgy cable attached to one of them, which made the speed go up and down. For future reference, use a timestamp (like 14:02) in your comment, so it is easier to find your reference ☺

@The_main_andrew 5 дней назад

The plastic cover is probably why it was going out of focus so frequently

AI in UniFi is very Hit-n-Miss currently and only half the AI stuff actually support the AI features like LNPR and Facial Recognition. Now couple this with bloody changes in firmwares that have resulted in poor detection and read rates. As for the design of the Bullets, yeah, all suck balls being a PITA to align and get solid. The all metal Pro is even worse unless you grease the parts to stop them galling on threads. Detaections, Audio types, nope, false triggers or no triggers so, a WOFTAM. Enhanced Encoding is nothing more than UBNT finally looking a H265 rather than H264. Leave off with G4 cameras as it's screwed. BTW: Throw the Pole mount brackets away, cheap and nasty cast aluminum that breaks too easy.

@LarsKlintTech Месяц назад

Thanks for your input Benny. I love getting all practical opinions on the devices ☺ I agree, the AI features and products are still in their infancy, and we haven't see anywhere near the full potential yet. I have only just got the camera, so I don't know the history of firmware changes in details. Anything you can share? So far, I have only had issues with the number plate recognition occasionally. BTW: I have some pole mounts I have used for 3-4 years and still going strong, but I will check them for cracks now :☺ Thanks again for watching.

@bentheguru4986 Месяц назад

@@LarsKlintTech I have been using UniFi cameras since it was called UniFi Video and you could BYO NVR/Server and those days were great. Now, locked into a product that has always been lacking in performance. Different firmwares have affected the abilities of the AI each time and currently, they suck. China is way better at these features. The Pole mounts, if the steel ones, they fine. The cast ally's are weak and break.
