Sure, that's a nice feature but how many of us ask for an optical zoom on a camera that I cannot pan and tilt? $80 point and shoot cameras have a motorized optical zoom. The camera has ONE feature edging ahead of a Reolink 4k 8mp camera and that is the 3x optical zoom. I can understand that Ubiquiti is trying to put their system a bar above competing products in this bracket of video security devices but I feel as though the price point of the G4 Pro camera doesn't make any sense. I was borderline ready to pull the trigger until I realized the price of their 4k camera, the Unifi G4 Pro. The Unifi Protect system caught my attention and researching deeper into it, I couldn't help but to be compelled that I believe this is what I want, especially with the experience I have with their networking hardware at work. I am ready to replace them with something else. The Wyze cams that I have used for two years now around my house have been GREAT considering their $25 price point and can recommend them but will not recommend them for top priority protection, of course.

But, with that background, I do have an idea of how a good video system should work even down to the importance of wide dynamic range support. I know that enterprise grade cameras that the US government doesn't hate can get very expensive such as Axis. Right now, ~$470 gets you a Reolink POE wired camera kit that includes a 2tb NVR with built-in 8 port POE switch, four 18 meter cables, and four 4k 8mp cameras with audio on their Amazon page.īeing that I do IT for our local county government buildings and use Milestone Security (pending a switch over to Hanwha Wisenet Wave) with nearly 250 cameras amongst out whole infrastructure. They produce rather a well put together and often updated product with great support and mobile device support apps that make sense. I am looking to install a non-cloud based VMS/DVR in my house with four camera views thus I have researched heavily into the non-enterprise market and it looks as though Reolink provides incredible capability per dollar without feeling like an Engrish import product. TLDR: One single Unifi G4 Pro 4k camera costs almost as much as a FOUR 4k camera kit + DVR from the leading brand in this bracket.
