Donald is that you?

You sound like an incredible douche and maybe even part of the problem.

Right but I think the feeling is that there are people who it’s just being handed to and they spend all of their time making sure I’ll work increasingly harder to get what I want and likely do that until I’m near death.

Higher resolution doesn’t necessarily mean a better picture here. From what I can see in watching videos from this camera is that the bitrate is pretty low and the image is decent but not great. Without a doubt I get a better picture from a g3 flex and it’s tiny. It’s okay if you don’t like ubiquity hardware but it seems more like you just want to bash on ubiquity than actually make a fair comparison.

This just isn’t true and I love an open source solution as much as the next guy but for ease of use, features and image quality you could do a lot worse. We use axis cameras where I work and they’re ridiculously over priced imo I understand that there are IP cameras that don’t require subs and have local storage but I offered my suggestion in case those were the major hold ups for OP.

Out of curiosity what’s a solid $40 outdoor IP camera with great image quality and features?

Right. I only mentioned them because they don’t require a sub and you can store everything locally.

I’ve used a ton of ubiquity unifi cameras and they have a solid range on pricing. I think you need the unifi software to commission them though. For what it’s worth they don’t use the cloud for storage and don’t require any sort of subscription.
