It seems expensive, but the high quality construction comes at a cost.
It takes time for someone to figure out how to set it up, as it has a different mindset. Just like other Ubiquiti products, such as the Access Point, it has a unique philosophy and is not plug and play. However, it belongs to the Unifi ecosystem, which means it requires a virtual server to be installed in order to work, something that the accompanying software takes care of.
Once someone understands the differences in the server admin and camera software and gets used to it, they will be impressed by its capabilities.
Clear image, many customization options, and durable build.
However, as already mentioned, it requires a special program to integrate with its software. It's not suitable for someone who wants to use it with various programs for the convenience of a direct link.
Personally, to monitor a space as quickly as possible, I do the following:
I have set it to open Opera (which, of course, never saves usernames and passwords in LAN connection), but it has the advantage that you don't have to bypass the warnings for unsafe networks that Chrome and other browsers have every time. But even for this, you need to set it in the settings.
Also, unlike all the others, Opera allows pop-up video windows for a cleaner interface without all the browser and camera settings.
This method offers the closest thing to fast access to live camera video for the product's data.
Attention: anyone interested in putting a link on the desktop that starts playing with a double click should look elsewhere because they will be disappointed.
The rest of you will pay for a quality camera that does a good job in difficult conditions, such as a dark parking lot, etc
