Nope, not yet. I still use a Pi 2 for my one of my 24/7 camera monitors and didn't see any reason to upgrade it.
If you wanted to run something like UI3 on a pi, then by all means a pi 4 should be the best option due to having a faster CPU, more memory bandwidth and whatnot. However I run 7 instances of "omxplayer" (7 video streams) on the pi 2 and total CPU usage is around 25% because this player uses hardware acceleration and doesn't really do anything else besides render the video stream.
Hmm... UI3 on a pi. How do you use this? On a wall mounted touch screen display?If you wanted to run something like UI3 on a pi, then by all means a pi 4 should be the best option due to having a faster CPU, more memory bandwidth and whatnot.

Do you use a ptz or any features with UI3 or just video feed? I find video feed is fine but on my 3 b+ when I start to mess with the ui3 it lags too much and is not usable. I feel a new SD card is needed.If you wanted to run something like UI3 on a pi, then by all means a pi 4 should be the best option due to having a faster CPU, more memory bandwidth and whatnot.

oh! ok. it is great for the video playback just not sure about controls. I have not tried the Pi 4 yet.I don't run UI3 on a pi.
which software are you using on your pi2 to view your cameras?Nope, not yet. I still use a Pi 2 for my one of my 24/7 camera monitors and didn't see any reason to upgrade it.
