1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

^Sadly I think a Reolink would perform better at that distance.

I may just open a support case with them to see what they say.

Maybe, just maybe, it would force them to tweak the firmware to allow a shutter setting.

The nice bright image is nice and all, but is useless to ID a perp in that key 15-20 foot distance.

And if it can't ID, there are much cheaper options available to accomplish a bright image with comparable motion blur/ghosting.

Why they don't let you adjust shutter speed is beyond me. There's obviously a lot of light it can gather. This area is a lot darker in person. Even with the street light and surrounding house lights, the area is much darker. I love the daytime performance just for the distance I'm able to identify things. A simple programming and interface change could make this camera much better.

With a faster shutter speed, the sensor will receive even less light, resulting in a much darker image.
As you can see even in your video, the sensor struggles with moving objects; the static background only looks decent because of the heavy use of 3D NR.
From what I understand, the G6 Pro uses a sensor optimized for daytime light conditions, so its nighttime performance is pretty poor, even when compared to the widely hated here T54PRO-ZE.

But, the sensor is letting in much more light if it's able to show objects that you can't even see with the eye. That can't just be 3D NR if you're able to see that far away on camera but not with the eye. The image can stand to be much, much darker. I don't need to see 100 yards away.

you are gonna love the daytime of the Andy Cam.

Well, the ghosting you are seeing is the direct result of heavy 3D NR... and they have to use it to improve quality of static image.
It's not just about amount of light, but also about amount of noise. It looks like the sensor is pretty noisy in low light/IR conditions, so they have to compensate it with 2D/3D NR.
I don't think Ubiquiti devs are lazy or stupid, they just cannot get anything better from this sensor.

I'm a little surprised how poorly the night time video of Ubiquiti G6 Pro turret with the 1/1.12 sensor turns out. I was expecting it to be similar to the result of T54PRO. (Not great but not so bad)

But instead it looks like Reolink level ghosting we were making jokes about on the on the "Typical picture of a Perp on Nextdoor-type Apps with Consumer Grade Cameras" thread.

I just pulled the trigger on the EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 1/1.8 ( Here comes the justification for my wants LOL)

My 3241 ZAS turret is causing hi CPU usage with AI and realllllly slowwwwww to open the Gui.
Tuning it has varying goofy glitches when it restarts. with strange screens. I've always wanted a better camera looking at the driveway. it's acting like it needs to retire.
I'm sure it can spend its golden years hanging out watching squirrels tear up my back yard.
It could just be the termination on the ethernet.
But If I'm going up on a ladder, I'm replacing it, and re-terminating the cat5 on both ends.
maybe the camera is ok. we shall see.
WTF Amazon. Why are they defaulting to a 4AM-8AM overnight delivery? it's 2:25 Am now....LOL Should I make coffee and sit out on the porch?

You can see straight away it appears to have too much gain and too slow a shutter. In areas before the picture ghosts you can already see the gain noise as the camera struggles to cope with the motion. I don't know if Ubiquiti make the figures for gain / shutter viewable, but it would be interesting to see what it's running. I predict it would probably be very black if fed 6ms & 50 gain limitations which are kind of the ideal maximums in my experience. I know some on here have been pleased with 12ms in the past on some cameras, but I personally find 6ms is the fastest I want to go to gaurantee no movement issues at night.

If it's a 1/1.2" sensor, then performance is very disappointing compared to the 4KT.

When submitting a support ticket to Ubiquiti, link them to this thread - I know they are hungry for sales, but most of their consumers are not knowledgable with respect to how cameras work; their Reddit says it all, sadly

Well, at least the T54IR is still more than 1/2 the price off the G6 Pro Turret; long live the 5442 series - the best all around camera released thus far
I should have purchased 2 more when they retailed for $175, damn
