So you don't want a doorbell, you want a combined doorbell and "normal" camera. I would just install the 2 and keep doorbell as a simple doorbell AND have a,camera,that has a better location (higher, other orientation, better specs). BTW, for our customers and, in my case, the doorbell - except new G6 Pro - is useless as it can't let you open the door... it's at 99% fenced properties, so you must open the gate for UPS or anyone else coming. That makes me (and my company) mount the intercom instead. It also allows you to give separate codes to the cleaning person, gardeners, pool guy,... and you know when they come and when they go (and can check with the amount of hours they invoice you). Also NFC control etc etc... for me, with the way we have houses in Europe, it's the only workable solution on this side of the pond.

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?

This isn't hard for me. Who cares about the angle if it doesn't record. Setup other cameras as needed to cover your whole property, and buy the doorbell with the best experience. I'm getting the g6 pro the moment it's released. G6 standard is very good too and is already out.

I’m using both. The NFC isn’t as frequent, but is most reliable. The kids are setup with fingerprints, works 75-80% of the time first try. Sometimes needs a 2nd or 3rd scan. Once it accepts it, Protect calls a Home Assistant webhook to unlock the door.

I've got the UniFi G6 Pro Entry. I use it along with the Hub mini to have facial recognition for door unlocking (Yale Assure 2 Z-Wave deadbolt) through HA. It also has NFC and PIN code access as well I couldn't be happier with it. I have a UniFi stack and it also works flawlessly with Protect and Access. https://preview.redd.it/3d4tvubbqlwg1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=feb57960d418b52dc26c7e12df431c2f92413948

You are right. The horizontal FOV is a complete let down on the G6-PRO-ENTRY. 98º (G6) vs 138º (G4). This sucks completely for such a premium device. WTH was UniFi thinking here?!?
