Finally have had it with my Nest setup.

I've got 3 Nest IQ Outdoors, and 4 IQ Indoors. I've got a complete unifi network at home already.


Ready to go full Unifi. I've set up a G3 Bullet on my UDMP before and I like the protect system.


Now, with this global shortage of everything. I think I picked the worst time possible to want to make this switch.


I've seen Streakwave and Baltic networks as places to purchase. Any other ideas? I'd like to pick up 5 G4 Pros and maybe 3-4 lesser cameras for indoor. I wish I could find some G3 micros to avoid making a mess with cable inside.

Any suggestions in our current day?

Unifi has several cams available on their website.
G4 pro is OOS, but the G4 bullet and several others are as well. I have a few of the G3 Flex and I like them just fine.

Streakwave
I've had an order in with them for some cameras since APRIL. Understandable that they were out of stock because UI didn't have any either, but now UI has had them in stock for several weeks and streakwave still hasn't gotten any. They're supposed to be a top tier distributor (one of only five), so I'm starting to get a little miffed.

Best bet is probably straight from Ubiquiti. With stocks so low they seem to be hoarding most of it. Can't really blame them.

FYI the micro has been discontinued, the replacement is the G3 Instant. Of course they are sold out as well and it still has a quantity limit of 1 per customer. For permanent installation though I still prefer the Flex or Dome for indoors. Cable is easier to hide in the walls, I find plug-in wifi cameras to be messier with their power cords.
