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.

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

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?

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

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 6 күн бұрын

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.

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 6 күн бұрын

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.

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.

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 🎉

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

You forgot to take off the plastic lens coverf on the AI Pro. that might be the issue with the lack or sharpness.

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 ☺️

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

@LarsKlintTech 3 күн бұрын

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 😁

@phgamer4393 3 күн бұрын

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 3 күн бұрын

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: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qbOWn650r869nHk.html

@bentheguru4986 5 күн бұрын

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 5 күн бұрын

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.

@@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.
