I'm starting to install Ubiquiti equipment exclusively for my small office and residential network projects.

How do you sell residential on unifi networking gear over eero or nest or whatever? Seems like anyone savvy enough to care about the advantages would just install it themselves. Am I wrong?

I haven't pushed the cameras too hard yet, guess I need to buy a couple for the office to play around with.

Yeah definitely play around with it for a while. The G3 Instant has finally been in stock for a while, though they still have the 1 per account purchase limit. Many people have gotten around that by some browser hackery or something, the limit is only enforced in javascript, not the store.

The only real issue I've found so far, mostly an annoyance, is when live viewing cameras it works fine up until you try to view more than 5 or 6 streams. More than that and it starts doing buffering/loading cycles. I think it is a problem with the front-end code, not a limitation of the nvr hardware.
