Great review Lars, been waiting for this one. I've recently got the G5 Pro with Vision Enhancer and I really like it. For the number plate recognition im thinking i'll buy the AI Pro and Vision Enhancer too. Then can configure Home Assistant to automatically open the garage door when our cars enter the driveway.

Excellent video as usual, Lars. One issue I struggle with is my AI pro is mounted perpendicular to the street. That’s not Ubiquiti’s issue, of course, but it’s what I’m stuck with given I can neither move the house nor the street. With that said, I’ve tried various mounting angles and I have yet to find a sweet spot as far as license plate recognition goes. Oh, how I wish I could mount it straight on as you did with yours. Anyway, I’m pretty sure I’ll add the AI Pro Enhancer now that I’ve seen it in action on your informative channel.

Go up the top-right and select the focus set icon. This will allow you to set the correct focal point manually. LNPR and all other features are done on the camera. Final stream is what is sent to the UNVR hence why the UniFi Protect recording devices have SFA hardware inside the empty boxes. Wireless links will drop the camera or the bit-rate will drop on the stream, not stop the plates reading.

Sure thing. The price is one thing. That automatically cuts out a lot of consumers. The PTZ requires quite a unique mounting position to take full advantage of it, and it speaks to a scenario where someone is monitoring it and using the PTZ actively. The DSLR has almost photographer quality lens and can be bought for wide angle of long distance. I would stick to the AI Pro. It is a fantastic camera.

@@LarsKlintTech You are telling me then that the solar cameras with 4glte that flock is placing all over the streets are compromising their stability and much more, because if that were the case then the authorities of each county would not use them the same as Motorolas. I believe that Unifi has the infrastructure and capacity to create the same type of cameras to meet the same objective at a lower cost than the competition.

@LarsKlintTech

16 күн бұрын

​@@effrem123 Yep, fair comment, so let me elaborate. In order to have a camera that records constantly you need 2 things for a solar powered camera: 1) Enough power to never stop recording, and 2) stable connectivity to upload the footage offsite for storage. To achieve the first point you will need a battery big enough to allow for many days with no sun to charge it. I run a 24V system with two very large bulky 170aH batteries, which alone are $500, not to mention the weight. Even that runs out after 7-10 days with no or little sun (I run an AP, camera, door bell and NanoStation on the system). For the second point you might need LTE or Wifi. If it is LTE/4G you have the costs of the data usage, and the complexity of the 40+ different bands used all over the world (which is why the Unifi LTE backup is AT&T only). If you are using Wifi, this is another power source you need to supply, and Wifi is flaky as it is. That is why I don't think it is feasible for Unifi to create solar powered cameras. It doesn't fit with their current goals.

Nice add-on to that AI cam, I had the IR extenders on my old G3´s and it made a huge difference even back then. I am however rather curious as to how much or many "false" detections you get from spiders and spider webs blowing in front etc? I have a lot of issues here and constantly have to go brush off my cams, so how do you cope with this "downunder" in the land of spiders? :D :D
