Unifi Protect G5 bullet review

**Note***

Some users say you can use this with a UDM pro not on version 3.0. I just took the information straight from the Ubiquiti store website under the g5 bullet

*This version requires you to have UniFi OS version 3.0 and later, please note FW 3.0 is currently not available for UDM-Pro.

In this video I take a look at the new Unifi protect G5 bullet camera. I also do some comparisons again the Unifi G4 bullet

Staight forward and to the point. No Fluff. Not waisting my time like so many creators. Perfect, i'm a fan.

I would be classing the G5 as a G3 replacement, its a good solid cameras but the G4 gave a better quality of image from the ones we have tested, but both are solid and the G5 Price is great

Thanks for the video and remark that G5 bullet currently will not work on UDM Pro. My G5 would be delivered today but after a quick mail to Ubiquiti they gave me the option to keep the box closed to extend refund period while waiting for the OS 3 update on UDM Pro or refuse the delivery. In both cases I would receive full refund for product and shipping. Great service from Ubiquiti!

Thanks for the awesome and to the point review,
I do have to say 1 thing,
You can adopt the g5 bullet with Dreammachine pro at Version v2.4.27
With protect Version 2.2.9
Just for the People here wondering about that.
I Almost didn't go with the g5 for that reason. But decided to check it out for myself.

My favorite part of your videos is the en.d ALRIGHT THANKS, short sweet and too the point. Great Video Cody!

[amithimani]

Thanks, Cody, I appritiate what you do. Night Vision is clearly much better on G4 Bullet.

[gmaclean]

Something to note about high frame rate mode (at least with the G4 Pro and I presume the G4 Bullet) is when you enable it, you are reducing your resolution in exchange for the higher frame rate.

Thanks for all the videos you put out.

One request for Camera Testing would be fast motion (both towards the camera and perpendicularly) to see which camera are still able to display a recognizable face (in day and night settings).
Thanks!

Is it just me or is it weird or confusing to have the lower number 4 product both cost more and seemingly out perform the higher number G5 product?

[Brainy_Bytes]

Solid review, I recently switched over my entire network over to unifi gear sans cameras and I knew the G4 bullet was going to be good but I dislike the cheap plastic feel of the G5.

[justinknash]

Awesome. I have two G4 Bullets and thinking about swapping them out for G5 Bullets. Thanks for the detailed review.

[SpookyLurker]

Definitely lean towards the G4. The G5 should be more like G3.5

04:50 G4 Bullet Night Quality looks much better! 👌
Shorts in the snow. 💪😜

Works fine on UDM Pro as a G3 bullet replacement - quite happy with mine.

[GabrielKozsar]

They threw out the stuff not many people used which is the IR addon and 1Gbps ETH port. Cut the cost in the process and made the camera cheaper and more affordable. Very nice UI.

IR extender is obsolete product IMO. Way too expensive and doesn't do much. Indirect lighting solution is a better option, be it infrared or led floodlight.

So I bought the G5 dome and bullet in early access thinking they are better than the G4. I’m still building out my business and haven’t even tried them yet, looking at your video, I’m a little disappointed in the sound and even the video looks slightly blurry compared to the G4. I’ll be testing everything when I get setup in the next month, but I’m glad I only bought 1 of each. Mainly I’m going to use the g4 domes around the business and the flex in my office. Great video nonetheless, thank you for the insightful videos.

[nodd]

The audio on the G5 was way lower than the G4, the camera quality (especially at night) looked worse on the G5.

[knyba]

Cody, thanks for the first G5 bullet comparison I have seen. I do have 1 G5 Bullet Pro and loving it.

[joejoe]

About time been waiting for your comparison for week. Lol thank brother

[DutchCarspotter]

I am glad I saw this review. The quality of the G5 is dissappointing compared to the G4. I will stick with my G4 for now.
