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 ghosting and noise. Plus, since it's a YouTube video, the compression further impacts the quality, making it tough to make an accurate assessment.
What’s also surprising is that nearly all of the Ubiquiti cameras have some significant flaw. Whether it’s the limited IR range, the lack of a varifocal lens, the poor sensor size-to-resolution ratio, or a combination of all these factors, it's hard to find a model that performs well in every aspect. At this point, I really hope Ubiquiti will release a G6 Pro or a revised AI Pro that addresses these issues, especially with a decent IR range and varifocal lens. While the 1/1.8" sensor for an 8MP camera isn't ideal, I could accept it, especially since there are virtually no competitors offering 8MP cameras with IR support on a 1/1.2" sensor size—Axis is pretty much the only one doing it right now.
Additionally, it's not very helpful when the review mainly focuses on surface-level differences—like the grass looking slightly greener on one camera compared to another. It just doesn’t offer a sophisticated analysis of the performance. It would have been more useful if he had provided more in-depth comparisons, such as contrasting the Ubiquiti 4K cameras with competitors like the Dahua 5842, which shares the same sensor size and resolution. This type of comparison could have given viewers more context on how the Ubiquiti cameras stack up against other options on the market.
