A gathering of information about Ubiquiti UniFi security cameras. Check back for updates.
Summary: All Ubiquiti cameras are 2 megapixel, 1080p resolution except for the G4-PRO which is 8 megapixel. Don't expect anything more than that. I can't recommend any of the Ubiquiti cameras except the G4-PRO and it is very expensive.
UVC-G4-PRO
- Resolution: 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160)
- Sensor: 8 megapixel
- Zoom: 3x Optical
- Expensive
- Can not tip up enough with ceiling mount, see note on G3-PRO
- Gorgeous picture. Best images I have seen on a security camera.
- 40 PPF at 50 feet, 87.5 degrees
- 40 PPF at 35 feet, 108 degrees
UVC-G3-PRO
- Resolution: 1080p Full HD (1920x1080)
- Sensor: 2 megapixel
- Zoom: 3x Optical
- Possibly an all metal case
- Can not tip up enough when mounting on a ceiling. For instance, when mounted under a garage eave, about 8' off the ground, the camera stays tilted down and can not get enough "outward" look to it. This 12 degree SkyBell camera wedge solves the problem.
- Camera does not stay focused when using the optical zoom. Takes a couple seconds to focus after the zoom is stopped.
- Picture quality is better than the G3-Bullet.
- 40 PPF at 25 feet, 87.5 degrees
UVC-G3-AF (UVC-G3-Bullet)
- Resolution: 1080p Full HD (1920x1080)
- Sensor: 4 megapixel. There might only be 2 usable megapixels according to info in this thread. UBNT says it is a 4 megapixel sensor but is a 1080p (2 megapixel) output. Therefore UBNT seems to want it called a 2 megapixel camera.
- 802.3af POEa.
- Base is plastic
- Body might be plastic
- Picture quality is good but not near as good at the G4-PRO
- IR flood is only good for about 20' range. Range extender is optional but a bit clunky
- RMA this camera. Stuck in 10mbps Ethernet mode. Ubiquiti is quick to grant an RMA but it is costing me $13 to ship it back to them. The replacement camera Ethernet behaves as expected, 100mbps.
