Ubiquiti's cameras are rock solid, both in terms of hardware and software. And if you don't like their software, the cameras provide a raw RTSP feed you can integrate with other open source alternatives. They're not too hard to hack on (official API docs are lacking but their forums are quite vibrant); I've integrated mine with my OpenHab control/display.
I've got a couple cameras that have been running outdoors for years in rain, snow, and heat. At this point I'm just waiting for them to die so I can finally upgrade to the latest and greatest models.
- collias 8y agoInteresting! I wasn't aware that Ubiquiti even made cameras. I'll check them out. Thanks!
- xoa 8y agoThis post is late, but I definitely do not recommend Ubiquiti cameras following their decision to go back on their promise (and previous company focus) of having end user flexibility and instead tying their UniFi Protect offering exclusively to their own proprietary cloud key. They made it worse by having a marketer PR guy come in to a thread of the community offering concerns and spouting a bunch of transparently garbage excuses. UniFi Video is basically in maintenance mode at this point and will probably be EOL'd soon, Protect was what everyone was expecting (and has mostly been positioned as) the successor. And nobody objects to the existence of support in "Cloud Keys" (Ubiquiti's own little all in one computer/controller offering, think like a POE raspberry pi type deal) of course. But making something like this exclusive to CKs is a new and extremely unwelcome thing for them, and should be a real red flag even if it's not tied to the cloud.
