    I agree with you !! Can’t understand why UniFi don’t have a real doorbell with access functionalities. We could be able to see the front door camera with other cameras in protect app. They just need to add that functionality to the UniFi doorbell

    This is the second home in which kzread.infoUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU we've replaced our "regular" doorbell with a Ring video doorbell and we really enjoy it. It is very easy to install and it works very well, with a clear picture through the app and good in-home use (we added the chime, which is also easy to install and doesn't require another thought to use).

    I am recommended to use G4 doorbell Pro along with the Access Reader G2 Pro. The reason is the better doorbell quality in recordings. Maybe also that doorbell have continuous recording and face recognition. Is this correct and what you would recommend as well - to have these side by side?

    Nice review. Note that the Reader Pro Firmware 2.4.199 changed the camera FOV to be much more useful than the chest view we were all used to, so you should check into that and maybe post a comparison. I think the new G2 reader is still a better design, and having had 3 Pro screens ruined over the last 2 years, I'm also hoping the G2 will be more durable.

    Nice review. I am considering the Reader G2 and G4 Doorbell models for the main entrance (outdoor). At first glance, I prefer the Access Reader G2 because it supports NFC and pin code access. However, I noticed that it might require a hub. Is it possible to connect the G2 directly to the network without a hub? I would use Shelly 1 instead of the hub. What are the differences between using it with and without a hub? Additionally, do you have any information about Unifi's plans to upgrade the Doorbell with an NFC reader?

    It better be a metal bracket. I just finished the first door at work yesterday. The lite reader's brackets are so janky/weak. Also the wave doesnt apear to work in direct sunlight. Which is ok because they wont make it a scheduled feature (like wave during day cards at night) so that feature is sort of a tease anyway. Idk that i would trust a $360 shiny bit of tech outside if this ones bracket is as janky. If this system is at least stable ill be happy with it. Im kinda leary right now
