You sound like an incredible douche and maybe even part of the problem.

Right but I think the feeling is that there are people who it’s just being handed to and they spend all of their time making sure I’ll work increasingly harder to get what I want and likely do that until I’m near death.

Higher resolution doesn’t necessarily mean a better picture here. From what I can see in watching videos from this camera is that the bitrate is pretty low and the image is decent but not great. Without a doubt I get a better picture from a g3 flex and it’s tiny. It’s okay if you don’t like ubiquity hardware but it seems more like you just want to bash on ubiquity than actually make a fair comparison.

This just isn’t true and I love an open source solution as much as the next guy but for ease of use, features and image quality you could do a lot worse. We use axis cameras where I work and they’re ridiculously over priced imo I understand that there are IP cameras that don’t require subs and have local storage but I offered my suggestion in case those were the major hold ups for OP.

Out of curiosity what’s a solid $40 outdoor IP camera with great image quality and features?

Right. I only mentioned them because they don’t require a sub and you can store everything locally.

I’ve used a ton of ubiquity unifi cameras and they have a solid range on pricing. I think you need the unifi software to commission them though. For what it’s worth they don’t use the cloud for storage and don’t require any sort of subscription.

Fuck Tom.

This makes me sad.
