Ubiquiti - G6 Entry

Hey there, As for the doorbells, you need to decide which one you'd want based on your needs, I'm personally waiting for the G6 (standard), I kinda like it more than the g4 Secondly, you'd need to run a cable like the cat 6a with rj45 termination at both ends for both the chime and the doorbell, as the cameras and chimes both have the only option to be powered by a single poe cable... You can have as many chimes as you want, you can also use the new poe siren as the doorbell chime (though it haven't done that as I don't have that yet) Now about the doorbell, you can have them in either of the 2x topologies; Option 1(with UNVR): Internet > Router / Firewall > PoE Switch, the following to the switch: > Doorbell (PoE) > UNVR (Protect Controller + Storage) Option 2 (recommended): > Internet > Router > PoE Switch, the following all to the switch: > Doorbell (PoE) > Cloud Key Gen2 Plus (Protect) > chime You'd need a separate controller and a router which i hope you'd already have to make the doorbell work. The cloud key stores the footage from the doorbell and makes it work... Hope I was helpful...

OK, now that it's been a while since the original announcement, even though we really haven't heard anything else since, how is everyone feeling about the new doorbells? I love the new doorbells and would love them even more if I hadn't already purchased a G4 Doorbell Pro (Wi-Fi). Now I'm trying to decide if I should sell my G4 Pro and get a G6 Entry, or stay with what I have. I have a G4 Pro that I purchased for our new house, but it's never been installed. It's been opened, removed and plugged in once via USB-C/PoE, just to confirm it was operational, then reboxed and stored. As much as I love the specs of the G6 Pro Entry, it has features that I'd never use, like the Access stuff. The G6 Entry is closer to what I'd want, but the camera is a decent step down from the G6 Pro, though it's still a decent step up from the G4 Pro. In the end, I guess it all comes down to pricing. If the G6 Pro is only $50 more than the G6 Entry, I might spend the money even though I'd never use the Access features or the screen. I'm expecting it to be $100-$150 more than the G6 Entry though. Decisions, decisions. What about you guys. Anyone else with G4 Pro, Wi-Fi or PoE, or some Frankenstein combination of both like mine; any of the rest of you planning to upgrade, or is the G4 Pro good enough to stick with what you have until it dies?

Definitely a little smaller, and honestly, in my opinion, my more suited to home users than the Pro. I'm sure there will be some that have or want Access features at home, but I doubt it's a large market. So, the G6 Entry is the one I see home users flocking to as soon as it hits the market.

So I’ve actually gone the opposite direction. Went back from a G4 Pro to a traditional doorbell and a G6 Instant. My wife preferred the old chime and button to it being all in one.

I use a Unifi doorbell hooked up to a UPS. My WiFi is also on the UPS. This means the doorbell is powered during an outage, the local recording is powered during an outage and I can also remote view during a power outage. If really needed, you could add a 4g backup to Unifi network gear too. 

I'm enjoying Unifi, I've got the G4 pro and they've just brought out the G6's

Max power on the lite is 8w and the g6 entry is 16w with the pro at 18 They could have definitely made the 8w lite without any questions run on 16-24vac

This basically kills it for me x.x... I don't know why they are not doing a wifi and 16-24v ac power.... It obviously sells well as the Poe kit for the g4 pro is in stock but not the wifi doorbell.

Sadly it's also Poe https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/cameras-doorbells/collections/doorbell-entry/products/uvc-g6-entry?variant=uvc-g6-entry

They seem to all be Poe only x.x... even the lite at 8 max that kinda kills it for me tbh.

No wifi unless they show it later https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/cameras-doorbells/collections/doorbell-entry/products/uvc-g6-entry?variant=uvc-g6-entry

The one I'm eyeing is definitely the g6 standard https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/cameras-doorbells/collections/doorbell-entry/products/uvc-g6-entry?variant=uvc-g6-entry Lite is interesting but the target audience of a 99$ doorbell and not having WiFi and standard doorbell two wire power seems rough.

The Doorbell Lite and Entry (Standard) are closer.

UI’s new offerings: * G6 Pro Entry: 220mm (8.7”) * G6 Entry (Standard): 176mm (6.9”) * Doorbell Lite: 137mm (5.4”) For comparison: * G4 Doorbell Pro: 161mm (6.3”) * Aqara G4: 141mm (5.55”) * Logitech Circle View 118mm (4.68”) * Ring doorbell: 101mm (3.98”) The G6 Pro is pretty massive, and the G6 Standard is large by any other standard. Doorbell Lite is within normal range.

In for one too. Told myself I would wait for the G6 Entry, but couldn't help myself. Already have my HDD installed in my UDM Pro and Protect set up. Can't wait to ditch my Ring.

I love the $99 doorbell. It’s perfect. The bells and whistles of the Entry G6 are awesome, but I don’t have anything to tie them into currently. The budget option is perfect for my use case

Looks like the G6 Entry non-Pro is the same height as the G4 Pro. So a small chance the screw holes may line up

It is only 5M (2K), which is a bummer. But with 1920x2560 on the G6 vs 1600x1200 on the G4, it's got 2.5x the resolution. So it's not the 4K upgrade we all wanted, but it's still an upgrade. Plus the enhanced AI detections available on the G6.
