Posted on here early in the year about what to get, a few helpful folk suggested ubiquiti, which I went with and I'm very impressed. Linked up all the cameras, with the door bells, gate entry and exits as well as outdoor boosters and so on.

Really nice app and slick desktop interface allows a lot of customisation.

The facial recognition and plate is handy too, even tells me when the MIL has arrived!!

Anyway, hopefully helpful.

No sub. The kit for the value is great I think. PTZ are fun for general nighttime animal browsing too.

I have been using ubiquiti products for a few years and they have improved somewhat. They have made some mistakes over that time with hardware being flakey and software updates causing problems but seem to have got a lot better. Only last week my AI Pro camera stopped talking to my gate system so the ANPR for access wasn’t working. Their support is generally quite good and we did get it resolved by updating software to a pre release version because their last official update broke the solution. Its that sort of thing that gets a bit tiresome but hopefully becoming rarer. It’s not the cheapest but for overall functionality and plug n play its pretty good.

Another fairly happy customer here. Put in UniFi to my last house about 5 years ago, moved it 2 years ago to the current house and am currently replacing the switch and APs to move to WiFi 7. A few dud software releases have been the only real letdown.

We use HPE Aruba kit at work. That isn’t immune to bad software releases either and it has ongoing subscription costs that UniFi thankfully doesn’t.
