Excellent video as always Lars. I have Unifi networking but the cameras were always too expensive. When you tagged this as affordable, I was expecting a few hundred euros. Pleasantly surprised to find it for just under 100 euros here in ireland, direct from Unifi. I think I see some new cameras in my future. Thanks, Eddie

I like the camera, but I am not sure I like the flying ethernet lead. I would prefer it have the connector like the other cameras have as that flying lead seems to have a slightly chunkier connector, meaning a bigger hole in a ceiling to feed it through, not to mention a point of failure if the cable is damaged. Aside from that, this is definitely a great camera from the more affordable end of Ubiquiti's range. I still think Unifi have some of the best IR Night vision on their cameras out of all the brands. It just always seems so crisp compared to other brands, including more expensive ones.
@LarsKlintTech
@LarsKlintTech 26 дней назад
The camera is really great. Still my favourite low price camera from Unifi. The rat tail connector does remove the ingress point of failure from the outside to the inside, which is useful, and you are right that you need a slightly bigger hole for it to pass through.

@LuftdroneDk
@LuftdroneDk 3 месяца назад
As mentioned in your earlier post, if it wasnt for that "annoying" rat-tail of a connector this would be my absolute go-to camera for both my own install but also the recommendation for my customers. Its perfectly priced, can be mounted in most places and the output is really great. I have 2 + Dome Ultra (which I find less useful) but I will be replacing a few of my older cameras with these once I find the right way to wallmount it with cables running on the wall and not through ceiling or wall.
@LarsKlintTech
@LarsKlintTech 3 месяца назад
Yeah, I hear you. I am still thinking they made this decision to make it fit in more locations and more mounts. I will ask nonetheless. I really like the Dome Ultra too (next week's video), but my favourite is definitely still the Turret.

What's the difference between the G5 Turret Ultra and G5 Flex? Are they just the same camera orher than form factor or is one a better camera over the other?
@LarsKlintTech
@LarsKlintTech Час назад
They are very similar. The main difference is the Turret has a IP66 rating compared to the Flex being IPX4, so the Turret is meant for outdoors, the Flex not so much. The form factor can be a deciding factor too, as you can mount the Turret more flush to walls etc.
@kubo73
@kubo73 3 месяца назад
May I ask where you are sourcing all the latest equipment from? I ask because recently when you had a video on a switch you were replacing, the powercord was US and you discarded that. So led me to think you must be getting them from the UI web store, but when I try and use their webstore there is no way to be able to get something shipped to Australia. If you were buying from any Australian reseller, I assume they would have the AU plug. So are UI sending you these items as freebies? Or how are you able to get access to all their latest gear otherwise?
@LarsKlintTech
@LarsKlintTech 3 месяца назад
I love the detective work 😀 It's no secret that UI sends devices for review, which is one of the perks of being passionate about creating good content, and spending many many hours on it. It comes from the US so the power cord is one of the things that I need to replace most of the time.

@LarsKlintTech
@LarsKlintTech 3 месяца назад
Good question. It kinda depends on the size and layout of your carport. Really wide angle cameras, like the G5 Dome Ultra (video coming next week) gives a pretty good view. I wouldn't use a camera with a long IR range, as you probably don't need it in a carport.

@@LarsKlintTech this is actually rather helpful as I was considering doing a G5 Pro with Enhancer at the back of the carport, facing the cars. Perhaps a G5 Turret or AI Theta might be better in that location. I have the doorbell also in that space but it’s coverage is limited. I planned on a G5 PTZ on the outside corner of the carport (two walls are the house, with front and right side being open-air).
