Unifi G5 PTZ is HERE!
Рет қаралды 19,909
Күн бұрынI've had the G4 PTZ from Unifi (now known as G4 PTZ Industrial) for a long while now, but at $1,800 the price point of that camera isn't right for everyone... that's why I'm super excited to show you Unifi's brand new G5 PTZ. With a more compact design and even smaller price, this awesome PTZ security camera packs a massive punch in the Unifi Protect line of cameras.

Thanks, Clay for another thorough review. One thing I'm curious about that you didn't mention was how loud the camera was when it pans and tilts. Is the sound noticeable from a distance? Or noticeable when you're next to the camera? Is there any noise from the panning that is picked up on the camera's microphone?

@@DPCTechnology I can understand and respect their desire to establish some product differentiation, but a 2x optical zoom simply misses the mark for an outdoor PTZ camera. There should have been, imho, a minimum of a 3x optical zoom and ideally a 5x for an entry-level product that is going to be functionally excellent. Putting a 2x in there tells me that they just wanted to be able to say that it has an optical zoom at all while putting the absolute least amount of cost into it. But I wouldn't read too much into the camera being out of stock as an endorsement of the performance of the product - the only other PTZ camera they offer is just shy of two thousand dollars. If Unifi released another version with a 5x optical zoom for another hundred dollars or two hundred dollars - I would predict that consumers would choose that. I have several Amcrest PTZ cameras that are 4MP and 25x - they cost me ~$500 each. I'd love to make the switch to using protect, but they are going to have to do a whole lot better in the sub $1k space for me to give up a 25x zoom.

Your presentation of product reviews is certainly accomplished. So thank you a lot for your clarity. But in this video the review is not balanced enough meaning clear negatives are not highlighted. Lack of resolution and or optical zoom, patrol function and vehicle tracking are certainly big negatives. Linkage to other Unifi cameras is a must (even the flood light is linked). Having installed the G5 turret I also not the Unifi have introduced a low quality range. Think stutter, pixelation, low resolution. A step back in my view. Sadly
