UniFi Protect G3 Flex 4 @ $79 = $316
CK+ (w/1TB) $199
8 port PoE switch $80
Total = $595
quote:Yes, the Protect software runs on the CK+ (or UNVR, or UDM-Pro), and the cameras are powered by a PoE switch. As long as the CK+ and switch/cameras are on the same network, Protect will find them and it will work.
would I only need to buy the CK+ and the PoE switch to work on my existing network?
quote:Definitely NOT required, that's just marketing material. No other part of your network has to be Ubiquiti other than the cameras and CK+. The PoE switch can be any brand as the cameras support 802.3af (I usually use this TP-Link 8 port because it's pretty cheap).
The data sheet for the CK+ shows a Unifi Gateway Security pro (DHCP Server) in the chain. Is this required?

I’m almost even considering a single well placed g4 PTZ to be lazy and run less cable.
But I don’t think it would look good on my house.

Sound useful? Or better yet, does anyone know of such a tool/project that already exists?

So I might try to change that a little bit. I want to build a camera test rig as scientifically as I possibly can. I want to document in as much detail as possible the methodology used for my cameras tests, down to the ambient light/temp, precise distance to subject, speed of subject, downloadable samples of subject(s), etc. The results need to be reproducible
quote:Love both those guys and have watched a bunch of their videos. I might take some tips from them as far as rig setup. And I might put a few vids on youtube, but that format is pretty limiting if we want to compare a bunch of cameras.
Check out Rob on the hookup for how he does his camera comparisons. Digiblur also shows his rig in his comparison videos.

Well I researched camera. If youre not getting 4k? Dont waste your time with security cameras for home use. Daylight? ok. Nighttime? If its not 4k? Might as well just say, its a raccoon digging in the garbage.

Four 4k cams and an 8 channel box should be between $500-$800

Really hard (for me) to justify $450 for that G4 Pro anywhere,
