• Thanks to the 2K Quad HD resolution, the camera shows the image sharper than a camera with Full HD resolution.
• The camera uses Power over Ethernet, so you only have to connect 1 cable.
• With the built-in microphone, you can hear what's happening from a distance.
• Because it doesn't have WiFi, you can only connect this camera with a network cable.
• The camera doesn't have 2-way audio, so you can't talk to people in front of the camera.

A lot of hassle to get him into the network

• Should be quick to install
• POE
• Small
• Firmware too low, won't update, freezes

I don't know how long Coolblue had the camera in their warehouse, or the wholesaler where they purchased it. The annoying thing was that the automatic firmware update crashed and I had to open a ticket with Ubiquiti. Only a manual update still worked. That is not something that everyone will find easy. You need external software for this, which involves quite a bit of hassle. PS already had 4 Ubiquiti cameras in my network. So not the first purchase.
After this everything runs as you would expect from Ubiquiti.

Dissatisfied with the handling of a defective new camera

• Does not work properly since purchase

In a previous review I already wrote that he did not want to update the firmware. After a lot of hassle, the manual worked. However, 3 weeks ago there was another update that was impossible to get into the camera in any way. Ubiquiti helpdesk eventually agreed to exchange it.
Been waiting for this for 2.5 weeks now. I am not satisfied with the processing, I receive a message twice a week that it has not yet been returned and that nothing further can be said.
Camera has been out of order since day 1.
