I feel that that ubiquiti did a flip but didn’t give any notice that I have found (so far)
I have 18 g3 flex wired and wireless camera at home. (Use this as a reference)
I have many customers that constantly ask me for cameras, I’m not a camera guy, but, if you will go with protect I’ll be your camera guy. Most will not spend the money because they think they will get a better deal at best buy. So be it. It’s your money not mine, and I will not install nor support them.
In lew of the g3 flex all of mine are 24v. I use ep6’s to power them up. All works well at home.
I just had a customer agree to unifi protect. We ordered 9 g3 flex wired cameras. I also donated a couple ep6 devices to reduce the amount of wiring coming into the home.
Received the cameras and a CKG2+ and I can’t get the camera to turn on. Look at the box, because there really isn’t a manual in the box… I find that the cameras are now 802.3af not 803.3.at.
Didn’t know that ubiquiti changed them to 48v from 24v. Didn’t see any about it online.
This totally ruined the install for my customer. At the time of install, now I’m rushing to find some sort of crappy switch to support 48v, and after looking at UI.com, there really isn’t a 48v solution for my current issue. No unifi outdoor 48v poe, UISP is only 24v.
Is this another “F” up by ubiquiti?
The need for outdoor switches is to reduce the amount of cable runs across the property.
I mean at this point, I don’t expect much better of any from Ubiquiti anymore.
