re: General security camera discussion (was "Unifi Protect security cameras")

So now I've played with some G4 cameras and Smart Detections, and maybe it's just my lack of experience with a lot of "smart" type features with other systems, but I'm pretty impressed with Protect. I left the smart detect zone as the full frame, and it picked up cars passing on a road 360' away all night. I didn't think it would work at that range, much less at night. The thumbs it generates which highlight the people/vehicles it found have been spot on. It also nabs golf carts, which I thought was hilarious.

I still have my concerns about Ubiquiti's direction as a company and whether they will support the Protect line for the long term given their handling of past product lines, but they appear to be very committed to video surveillance in general and Protect has a lot of things going for it.
