Four 4k cams and an 8 channel box should be between $500-$800
Since this started off as a Unifi Protect thread, I feel like I should point out that the g4 Pro offering by them is $450 if you can find it. There’s definitely a quality increase from the lower-end cameras to the higher end. The law of diminishing returns and exponential price increases for the returns are both in play, I read his post to imply that the cheaper stuff wasn’t delivering. Maybe placement and lighting could overcome some of the cheaper camera deficits for his intended purpose, but to suggest there is a cost ceiling to quality gains seems to go against a lot of what I have read and seen on YouTube. A high def camera with 3x optical zoom definitely has a place in select setups.

Really hard (for me) to justify $450 for that G4 Pro anywhere, especially not for home use. With Ubiquiti I think the sweet spot is definitely $200 for the G4 Bullet. They're only 4mp and not 4k, but from what I've read if you want quality 4k at night you have to go high dollar.
But yeah, there is some expensive gear that is worth it. Check the price of Axis stuff, and they sell a ton of equipment. They have a bunch of 1080p and even 720p cameras that cost upwards of $250. If you want 4k with Axis you're spending close to $1k.
Just depends on your budget and what you want out of your system.
