Unifi AI Port- Works great!
Yeah, I’m aware that I could set up an ONVIF stream profile on the Axis camera with a max bitrate of 8 Mbps. But honestly, that kind of defeats the purpose of investing in a high-end camera like the P1468-LE. I want the camera to be able to use the full range of its encoding capabilities and... -

Ubiquiti releases Protect Generation 6 Cameras - G6 Bullet, G6 Turret, G6 Instant
I've spent a week testing the AI Port extensively. While it works fairly well, the overall solution is still quite buggy. One downside is that it transcodes video streams, which reduces picture quality. So, if you're using Unifi Protect software, there’s not much benefit to using Dahua cameras...- tuvow

Lets Revisit Ubiquiti Cameras
While it’s nice to see the cameras side by side, I think there are a few issues that make it harder to judge their real performance. Showing three video streams at once doesn’t really let you see any details—zooming in on key areas like faces would have made it easier to spot things like...- tuvow

Unifi AI Port- Works great!
I've been in ongoing communication with Ubiquiti support over the past week, and it turns out that the AI Port only supports a maximum bitrate of 8 Mbps. It also transcodes the incoming video stream into a different format for the outgoing stream. This means that the high-quality video from my... -

Where are the 2025 Models?
What kind of improvements are you expecting from the newer Q35 domes that would justify an upgrade? -

Where are the 2025 Models?
Unfortunately I don’t have side-by-side comparisons. -

Where are the 2025 Models?
Haha, no worries! I agree—the 5849 would be a more fair comparison, though it lacks IR, and unfortunately I don’t have one to test. It’s pitch black here at night, so IR is a must for my setup. -

Where are the 2025 Models?
The 5842 model has a 1/1.8" sensor as I mentioned in my post. -

Where are the 2025 Models?
I have the Dahua 5442-S2 (4MP on a 1/1.8" sensor), the Dahua 5842-S3 (8MP on 1/1.8"), and the Axis P1468-LE (8MP on a 1/1.2"). The 5442 and the Axis perform similarly at night, thanks to their ideal balance between resolution and sensor size. That said, the Axis delivers noticeably better image... -

Unifi AI Port- Works great!
License plate recognition has actually worked really well for me with Dutch plates. I reached out to Ubiquiti because I find it hard to believe that the AI Port only supports an 8 Mbps output stream—it seems more like a bug to me. Unfortunately, their support hasn’t been very helpful so far. I... -

Unifi AI Port- Works great!
It also seems that the AI Port itself can’t process a stream at 20 to 30 Mbps. I hadn’t noticed it at first, but after reviewing some of the recordings, I realized that many of them have brief skips—usually missing about a second of video. I compared them to recordings made at the same time by... -

Unifi AI Port- Works great!
I ordered the AI Port to evaluate its performance and paired it with an Axis P1468-LE 4K camera. Vehicle, person, and license plate recognition work very well, but face and animal detection leave a lot to be desired. One thing that really surprised me is that the maximum supported recording... -

Ubiquiti releases Protect Generation 6 Cameras - G6 Bullet, G6 Turret, G6 Instant
Yeah, it’s a bummer. I’d be happy to pay a premium for Ubiquiti hardware if at least they would match picture quality of Dahua 5442 and 5842. Just because I would still really like to use UniFi Protect software, instead of Blue Iris or Dahua NVR.- tuvow

Ubiquiti releases Protect Generation 6 Cameras - G6 Bullet, G6 Turret, G6 Instant
I think it looks pretty bad to be honest. Considering the amount of ambient light, look at 31:18. Someone is walking by and it is very difficult if not impossible to identify his face. It's also very difficult to see the face details of the reviewer if you look at 31:30, even though he's...- tuvow
