G4 Doorbell

I guess knock on wood, I've been lucky with mine. Bought the UVC-G4-Doorbell-US 2 years ago for 165 on ebay and no issues. Actually, I have purchased all of my ubiquity products, used on ebay for less than MSRP. As much as I enjoy their products, I think their MSRP is a bit high.

If you want to pay more but never worry about it again....Unifi

Disagree. Been running the G4 wifi for over a year. It works best with a homepod chime, or the integrated unifi chime, but it's rock solid.

You can still import the unifi feed into HomeKit using scripted. It’s what I do. Also, I don’t consider it ‘locked’ into an ecosystem if it’s legit better than everything else.

My unifi one picks up stuff everywhere, love it

Looooove my unifi doorbell. They just launched a few new models

We have all Ubiquiti setup. You could look at FB marketplace or resale on Reddit for a G4 Doorbell non Poe. You don't need POE to run it. I made the mistake of not running Ethernet to our doorbell and our electrician installed a normal one. The G4 is powered by that it has the connectors, runs on wireless signal to storage. You can get into their system with a Dream Router, it can run protect allows for SD card option for storage. It has a built in AP for wireless and you can setup protect for only detection recording and how much to record. I get their ecosystem is large and expensive, which it can be but it also can be small and simple for easier setups.

Haha, supply versus demand. I actually have a G4 non pro wifi that is also selling for a premium and also a spare G4 non pro wifi that is still sealed. I'm trying to decide if upgrading is worth it. I wish the G6 entry had the wider FOV of the G4 pro which would make it an instant buy for me. Prices do feel a little unsavory right but if you look at RAM and hard drive prices right now it's pretty wild as well.

I took your advice. G4 non pro sealed new sold for $400. Taking that plus a coupon unifi gave me to upgrade to a G6 entry with in intercom viewer 👍
