Ubiquiti Unifi Security Cameras: The Top 5 Models

The UniFi Video camera line is Ubiquiti’s most popular. Features include motion detection, ato-discovery, and storage management. Customers tend to leave good reviews for Ubiquiti cameras, often noting the easy installation process, image quality, and sensor resolution. Ubiquiti strives to provide users scalable video surveillance options with competitive pricing and high performance options. Below are five recommended cameras in th UniFi Camera lineup.

1. Unifi G4 Pro

Considered Ubiquiti’s top end camera solution, the G4 Pro provides users with 4K HD resolution and 3x motorized optical zoom. The camera also has high power infrared LED lights that improve night vision, as well as enhanced low-light sensitivity features. The G4 Pro’s design creates a weatherproof enclosure, making the camera fit for any location-- indoor or outdoor. A unique feature of the camera is it’s LED ring around the lens of the camera. This light draws attention to the camera and either deters the camera, or draws an intruder’s attention towards it so that the surveillance system can capture a clear image of that individual’s face.

2. Unifi G3 Dome

Although intended primarily for indoor usage, the G3 Dome camera can also be used outdoors under an overhang and is a cheaper option than the G4 Pro. The camera can be mounted on any wall or ceiling-- both Ubiquiti camera setups are straightforward-- and features a wide angle lens that provides a user an extended field of view.
