Perfect compact camera for the UniFi ecosystem

Simple plug and play setup to my Unifi router, took <1 minute plus and then an update. No extra cables because of PoE and the included mounts are well-designed and fairly secure. Looks very neat once installed either on a wall, ceiling or desk. It's not pan/tilt but the camera can be manually rotated left/right and up/down (like a turret) once mounted for the best angle. The angle is wide enough so it works well indoors, but not too wide which would distort or warp the video.Features: records onto the microSD card on my Unifi router. Expected features such as line crossing, motion zones and privacy zones. AI recording can filter in/out people, animals and/or vehicles which is the most important feature for my usage and is quite reliable, basically 100% accuracy (all videos are what objects you selected). AI audio can filter in/out smoke alarms, voices and crying babies etc. Video quality is good and very customisable to get the best quality for your conditions (e.g. low light, denoise, IR cut, fps, compression etc.)Recorded videos appear in small thumbnails above the livestream, which is different to most other apps. Objects of interest are zoomed in for easy identification. The recorded videos can also easily be filtered to show only people, animals, vehicles and audio (based on the AI filter you set up earlier), which makes looking for specific events very easy.In addition to the microSD card, it also can backup the recordings onto the cloud. In the Protect app, you choose Google Drive, Dropbox or Microsoft Onedrive or an NVR to "Continuously Archive" the videos. The app creates a new subfolder in cloud drive every day with the recorded videos, one folder for each day. Unfortunately Ubiquiti doesn't have its own cloud storage service, nor does it work with Bolo's cloud.One thing to note for installation - make sure your Cat5 or Cat6 cable doesn't have a rubber boot or long plastic around the connector (the clear plastic part that holds the wires and pins). If the plastic part is too long, then the cable won't bend enough to fit the mounts. Buy a right-angle Cat cable or one with a short connector. I wish Ubiquiti included their own compatible patch lead, this would make installation so much easier and I would be happy to pay a bit extra to save the hassle.

Gute Kamera

Klein und unauffällig, klare Bilder, auch nachts. Habe schon 2 davon.

Bastante Bien

Bastante bien ésta camarita; buena resolución, lente de angulo ancho y además tiene detecciones de personas, vehiculos, etc. Lo único que hay que aclarar es que no es completamente para exteriores; hay que comprarle una carcasa especial. Pero en mi caso está protegida por el techo de la cochera.

Good as always.

Good quality and easy setup as can be expected from most ubiquity products. I enjoy the larger fov these provide over the bullet cameras.

Plus besoin de vanter la qualité des produits Ubiquiti. Ben possède 5 et elles fonctionnent à merveille avec la dreammachine SE. Très content d’avoir fais le choix Unifi :)
