Ubiquiti UniFi Protect G4 Doorbell (UVC-G4-DoorBell)

Works great. Integrates nicely into your Ui protect environment. It came with a European transformer in the box. I’m in the Us, upgraded my doorbell transformer to a 16A-30 transformer and all works well. Don’t forget to turn on the chime in the Ui.com interface with the select button or the doorbell doesn’t ring.

If you want home surveillance and value your privacy there is really nothing better than Ubiquiti Networks, and this video doorbell does not disappoint.First and foremost, you need to be aware that this isn't a standalone solution. So if you don't already have some sort of NVR from Unifi you will need one in order to put this to use, and overall that makes this a bit of a pricey solution in terms of what you have to spend up front. But the thing that makes the Unifi system so great is that the recordings never leave your network. It's not uploaded to some cloud where it's anybody's guess who has access to the video feeds, and to me that is absolutely worth the extra cost. Your video feeds are not bought and sold by marketing and advertising, they live on the storage device that is a part of this system that is set up somewhere on your home network. And finally, because you own the storage and the cameras there are no ongoing fees, so eventually it all pays for itself. I cannot stress how important all of this is enough.I already have a Cloud Key Gen2 already set up with cameras monitoring my property, so once the doorbell cam powered up I was able to adopt it into the system fairly easily. The video quality is excellent, you can set up motion zones, notifications, even a greeting message on the G4 Doorbell's integrated display. The large button for the doorbell chime activation has a colored LED ring around it that changes color depending on what is going on. You can do two-way audio with it as well.You will also likely need to replace the transformer that powers your door chimes. Get a 24v/40va unit here on Amazon and you'll be set. This can be a bit of a pain because it's one of those things that doesn't have a typical install location in your home - some people have them in the attic, some people have them in a closet somewhere near the front door, mine was in my crawl space of all places.Happy I purchased this to compliment the rest of the cameras I have. Ubiquiti puts out great products.

Great product with typical smart doorbell features such as leaving custom messages on the doorbell and two way voice communication. It took a couple of factory resets when trying to install but ez to do.I love that it's self hosted on my dream machine pro so I don't have to pay a subscription or rely on a cloud service (remember when AWS went down?) Unifi equipment is really geared towards more tech savvy nerd DIY'rs

The first thing you need to know before you buy this doorbell is that it is not a complete package. There are other components you will need to purchase before you can use this product. This doorbell camera, unlike most others does not require subscription service. This will save you money over time. Because of this you need to own the device that captures and stores the images from this camera and the host software to see the video on your phone or other devices. Unifi has a product that takes care of all of this, the Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key. The Cloud Key will cost another couple hundred dollars on top of the already steep price of this product. The advantage here is that you own the video. It is not going off to some third party that can give access to it without your permission. If this is important to you then this is one of a very few options that gives you full control over the video captured from your camera.There is another thing you will probably have to buy, and this is true of most video cameras. You will probably need to get a better transformer for your doorbell. Most houses seem to have 10 amp transformers. You will want at least twice that. 30 amps is recommended. I have not yet received my upgraded transformer, so my camera is not working consistently. I can power cycle the camera during the day and it will work until it gets dark. After dark the camera's lights come on and the camera shuts down due to insufficient power.

I was pretty excited to receive this unit because I have a ton of other Ubiquiti product that seems to work great. The box came as expected and actual installation was great, they pretty much made it idiot proof because you can connect the terminals in no specific order.Once paired I was able to see reasonably clear video.. but the sound; The sound on my unit is practically un-usable. It seems to drop its network connection when people walk by.. which is obviously not great for a video doorbell. I have the access point only 15 feet away on the ceiling indoors and it otherwise reports a very good network connection.Also- another thing that attracted me to this product was the bottom facing light. I read a lot of reviews with people receiving this and not having that light working… it’s true. Mine in fact does not work and there is no toggle for it in the settings.Maybe I just got the worst one in the batch 🤷🏼‍♂️
