Ubiquiti - G6 Entry

Hey there, As for the doorbells, you need to decide which one you'd want based on your needs, I'm personally waiting for the G6 (standard), I kinda like it more than the g4 Secondly, you'd need to run a cable like the cat 6a with rj45 termination at both ends for both the chime and the doorbell, as the cameras and chimes both have the only option to be powered by a single poe cable... You can have as many chimes as you want, you can also use the new poe siren as the doorbell chime (though it haven't done that as I don't have that yet) Now about the doorbell, you can have them in either of the 2x topologies; Option 1(with UNVR): Internet > Router / Firewall > PoE Switch, the following to the switch: > Doorbell (PoE) > UNVR (Protect Controller + Storage) Option 2 (recommended): > Internet > Router > PoE Switch, the following all to the switch: > Doorbell (PoE) > Cloud Key Gen2 Plus (Protect) > chime You'd need a separate controller and a router which i hope you'd already have to make the doorbell work. The cloud key stores the footage from the doorbell and makes it work... Hope I was helpful...

The poe doorbell from unifi is worth it. There are a bunch on ebay rn.

That looks like an apartment building, not a home doorbell. You are much better off with the Ubiquiti PoE doorbell bridged into HomeKit

OK, now that it's been a while since the original announcement, even though we really haven't heard anything else since, how is everyone feeling about the new doorbells? I love the new doorbells and would love them even more if I hadn't already purchased a G4 Doorbell Pro (Wi-Fi). Now I'm trying to decide if I should sell my G4 Pro and get a G6 Entry, or stay with what I have. I have a G4 Pro that I purchased for our new house, but it's never been installed. It's been opened, removed and plugged in once via USB-C/PoE, just to confirm it was operational, then reboxed and stored. As much as I love the specs of the G6 Pro Entry, it has features that I'd never use, like the Access stuff. The G6 Entry is closer to what I'd want, but the camera is a decent step down from the G6 Pro, though it's still a decent step up from the G4 Pro. In the end, I guess it all comes down to pricing. If the G6 Pro is only $50 more than the G6 Entry, I might spend the money even though I'd never use the Access features or the screen. I'm expecting it to be $100-$150 more than the G6 Entry though. Decisions, decisions. What about you guys. Anyone else with G4 Pro, Wi-Fi or PoE, or some Frankenstein combination of both like mine; any of the rest of you planning to upgrade, or is the G4 Pro good enough to stick with what you have until it dies?

Definitely a little smaller, and honestly, in my opinion, my more suited to home users than the Pro. I'm sure there will be some that have or want Access features at home, but I doubt it's a large market. So, the G6 Entry is the one I see home users flocking to as soon as it hits the market.

10000% Agree. You are trying to make one camera do the work of at least two cameras here. Get a wired PoE doorbell cam to do doorbell cam duty. Then get either as u/Curious\_Party\_4683 suggested a 4mm or greater lens, or a cameras with PTZ (with actual optical Z) and auto tracking. Reolink and Unifi make good options for both of those.

Some do. Eufy and Unifi offer dual camera options that they typically call a "package cam" I think the bigger issue is angle and height. A camera will have a wider and further view when you can get ya boi Pythagoras in on the game and angle that camera down. So it's hard to have a doorbell which must by it's very nature be lower down to see people and let them press the button.

Unifi poe doorbell. Two years and never had a problem. Works with home bridge plugin. Being in the Ubiquiti ecosystem helps.

Absolutely! I have a UniFi doorbell and it’s great. I also have 3 CCTV cameras by UniFi and it all records 24/7 to UniFi NVR. Well worth the investment.

Budget? I have an Ubiquiti doorbell with scrypted. Even without scrypted it’s a great overall doorbell with the ability to save locally. Setup is expensive though

Ran it, like it.

Unifi is the best. Not cheap though
