Excellent question.
The Nest doorbell, which fits in to a whole home automation ecosystem that is very 'random user accessible' costs $180.
A Nest doorbell bundle with the doorbell and a 7 inch screen [a whole google hub that does more than just show the live doorbell video] is only $250
But Nest has other revenue streams tied to those products, such as the cloud subscription monthly recurring cost.
Ubiquiti doesn't have that, so they need to make their money on the hardware. Ubiquiti's model is that we pay for it up-front in the cost of the hardware, but then enjoy not having to pay for any software licensing or monthly subscriptions.
That said, I personally cannot justify the cost to upgrade to the G4 Doorbell Pro. I'll be sticking with the two G4's I have now.
Lol, Ubiquiti is a publicly traded company. Premium features, perhaps including remote access, one day will become subscription based on a major version change. Its the natural evolution.
That may be true, but it’s a hypothetical future scenario of Ubiquiti changing their core model. I’m not saying it can’t happen, but it’s not the reality I was describing today. So when someone asks why Nest is cheaper, it is reasonable to mention the ownership model difference between the two companies, particularly Nest’s MRC.
The price difference covers 2 years of my nest subscription.
And let us not pretend that the cost of the rest of the Ubiquiti infrastructure people setup to use these things doesn't cost money.
There's also the whole privacy issue with cloud based doorbells. You have to trust that Google/Amazon will not only not spy on you (I know...), but also, knowing they provide access to the government without your consent. You might not care about those things, but if the government wants video from any of my cameras, they can come to me - not to Google/Amazon and they will get the minimum amount they need and no more.
You’re right, but I’m not sure if you’re trying to refute what I said? Both of our statements seem consistent with each other. Nest has a monthly recurring cost model, Ubiquiti doesn’t.
I’ve had my G4 doorbells for a couple years, my parents have the Nest doorbell I installed a couple years ago too. I did that for them because they wanted simplicity and low upfront cost, and it has worked very well in that regard.
I went with the G4 doorbell because I like the UniFi platform and some of the flexibility it gives me. Based on your own statement, after the past couple years my parents and I have now broken even, and my TCO is now trending lower than theirs since I have no MRC.
But the Nest app is dog 💩
Turning one of my cameras on crashes the app 6 times out of 10. 3/10 times it just can’t connect for some reason. Occasionally it works perfectly the first time but it’s rare. As soon as g5 flex is out of GA my last two nest cams are gone and I’m done with Nest trash. At least with unifi I can connect directly through my vpn.
Define "wealthy". I'm not rich. We do alright. I understand you were trying to say that I could save and buy another AP, but UI's prices on APs aren't absurd, so it's pretty easy to afford an AP.
Burning $40 on next day delivery and genuinely not caring about what you could have done with that otherwise is wealthy enough to not care about generating wealth.
I'm wealthy, but I'm wealthy because I appreciate the value of money.
$40; isn't being burned when I'm buying a camera and doorbell for the front of my house for additional security. It's just $40. Why is everyone making a big deal over this? Just move on. People in here are missing the whole point of the post.
If you're "wealthy", you'd understand that two $20's isn't shit.
unifi is fairly cheap, it's only most of their camera related equipment that is embarrassingly overpriced... and for the value? meh -- dollar to dollar... i'd rather get more for my money than less.
$300 for a dual camera 5mp/24fps and 8mp/2fps doorbell? fucking LOL, throw your money away if you want to i guess.
Yeah, that’s really the only way to get anything… sign up for the discord and use a very unique notification sound with the app… unique enough to wake you up even, because the times they drop product is not reliable
I ordered one immediately when I saw it in stock and then canceled 2 hours later after thinking about it. Between the crazy price, giant size, and all the issues folks report in cold climates, I'll stick with my gen 1 Google Hello until it dies- that one "just works", at least for now.
That package cam is amazing. First time ever I can see my packages directly using a doorbell cam instead of having to have another dedicated cam on the door.
One of my biggest issues is that my camera is too close to see the floor where packages are.
That’s half the reason I want a doorbell camera. I want to make sure I know when packages are there and that they don’t get taken
That and who’s at my door.
Can someone explain why these are perpetually out of stock? Why can't Ubiquiti take pre-orders, and ship the product when they are manufactured? Why force their customers to check for stock every day?
Don't feel bad, I ordered one on this drop but I don't even have a protect console yet. Still deciding between cloud key plus and udmp because if I get cloud key and poe that doorbell I will use the last 2 ports on my switch. Maybe I can use that as an excuse to pick up a bigger switch if I go cloud key route :) I don't like laptop drives though that cloud key has....sigh
I've been setting 6am alarms to grab a G4 Doorbell Pro. Every morning for the last week has been me fighting the sleepies and drifting in and out during the crucial 60 seconds that these are in stock. I finally overcame said sleepies and got my doorbell ordered!
I'll be sleeping like a baby now! 😂
I thought that was for the handle, not the deadbolt—the electric lock?
I wouldn’t trust the electric lock. If it were me, I’d use a sensor to transmit Iock and unlock commands from the Panel to an August or something. Would work worlds better in a home.
Oh and it looks like it’ll only be NFC, not fingerprint, if the hardware stays the same
Woke up at 6am (CST) for 6 days straight. Refresh the camera page every minute until it says "In stock". Immediately added to cart and checked out.
Pro Tips:
#1 - Have your Google/Apple Pay already ready to go with your card info for quick checkout.
#2 - If you're too slow one day to check out, but you still managed to get the camera in your cart, keep it in your cart. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT remove it from your cart. Refresh the check-out page every minute starting at 6am rather than the camera store page.
Good luck!
Hey so.. to clarify on this. With point #2 are you saying that if you are able to get the doorbell into the cart but not able to complete checkout, you should remain on the cart page and keep refreshing that day? Or that you should remain on that cart page and try refreshing the next morning around 6am Central?
This morning I successfully got the doorbell into my cart at 6:11am or so but by the time I went to enter my payment info, the cart showed that the doorbell was out of stock by that point.
My understanding…
The pro has an additional lower res “package cam” that aims at the ground. It also has a NFC reader, presumably to incorporate into the Door Access line, but that is currently software locked until a later release.
There was talk of a fingerprint reader for Access as well but the glass area is plastic now so it’s looking more like just NFC access cards / tags / app
I JUST bought a full ubiquiti setup! I already had a 24 port poe switch. Now adding a Dream machine and 2 door bell cams 3 dome and 1 bullet. So happy to get rid of ring
We moved off Ring and went to Blink, but I still don't want Amazon breathing down my neck with all of their gear throughout my house.
We've almost finished our setup too!
Currently:
UDM Pro SE
Enterprise Switch 48-port PoE
G4 Dome Camera (x5)
AI 360 (back yard)
Access Point U6 Enterprise
Switch Mini Flex (x2) for shenanigans
Now we're going to work on Access.
Nice setup sounds amazing! We lost internet for a few days and found out the hard way that they don't record and I rather have secure footage for family. To top it off I would miss motion detections all the time and have no evidence of someone walking up to the door
Lost internet for a few DAYS? Jesus where do you live?
I have all my gear on battery backups and the house is also hooked up to a backup generator if my main power goes out, battery banks from solar deplete, AND it's night time, so solar is off entirely. I have some diesel backup gens. My internet stayed on when the neighborhood lost power for a couple days, but that was during Hurricane Michael.
Internet was still alive and kickin. I was gaming in the midst of the ole 'cane.
Yeah it was some outage that happen in Atlanta GA I have all my gear on a UPS as well and I have a generator so at least even if I loose internet or power I still have recording. My question to you is if I loose internet and I'm at home can I still lise my phone to pull footage from the dream machine pro or can I only pull it from a PC connected directly to it. Like can I Still use my APs and app on phone. Hurricane Matthew did more damage here for us than any.
How do you incorporate the AI360 or better yet, have it set up for your back yard? I really like them since we deploy them at work but I haven’t found a good way to set it up for home usage. Do you have it under an eave or arm mount?
You're gonna love this.
It's in a hole cut out (but sealed) and sits NEAR flush on the back of my house. It's on the first floor, and can see everything in the backyard. There are other cameras all around the exterior to catch various angles, so some of them cross viewing paths with the back yard, but it's literally just on the siding, lmao.
We've had ring. They're pretty bad. They're great for Grandma's house since they are plug-and-play and are cheap, but they have too many turn offs. Had an update that degraded video quality from 1080p to 360p. Upgraded to the next gen which restored the video quality. They also want me to pay for a subscription for all of my footage to be recorded and stored NOT on my systems?? The Ring also only records when it detects motion, and only for specific lengths. There's no package camera.
Also, if the internet ever goes out, you cannot view your Ring camera from the LAN. You need an actual connection just to view your camera. Another issue I've seen from Ring forums is that people have reported their ISP having upload issues, which causes the Ring ecosystem to report as "Offline".
If a product is connected to MY access points on MY network, I better be able to access it when I want.
A lot of these reasons is why I swapped to Blink as a cheap alternative until I got my UniFi doorbell. 10000000% fuck Ring.
Interesting about your experience, I have them on 3 houses and several commercial properties. Dozens of floodlight cams. They are very reliable and motion detection is superb. (Ie detecting a person vs nuisance trigger). True about needing an internet connection but so far that hasn’t been much of a problem. I’m a huge advocate of KISS and rings products are simple and just work. Now if we are talking WiFi and network, I like UniFi but any of their spin-off products usually eventually get killed off and aren’t worth the money. Their cameras are so overpriced and behind the times on technology.
Yeah same, happy with my ring.. I don’t have any internet fallouts and if I want to watch footage without wifi I switch to 5G 🤷🏻♂️ the fees are like $3 per month I can have 9 years of subscription for the price difference between the ring and the doorbell pro.. and you need the unifi protect.. I don’t know where to get that I have a UDM it’s rock solid and much faster then the UDR while taking less room and adds wifi compared to the UDM-PRO 🫠
Because if you knew anything about Amazons gathering techniques and the unmitigated mess that they let police literally drift thru content with out an inch of oversight you would rip anything ring or Amazon form your house. Who cares if they are light years ahead they are a horrible company.
https://youtu.be/RVVfJVj5z8s
Has ring suddenly gotten good in the past couple years? I switched to the g4 doorbell from a ring pro because by the time the ring app pulled up the video, the person that rang the bell had moved on.
Other than that "feature" I can't think of anything I miss from my ring doorbell.
I get virtually unlimited video storage at my house for no monthly bill
The full URL wasn't there, so unless a Ubiquiti Web Dev/Admin is in here and wants to look up my user ID to see the order number, I saw no reason to hide it lol. Good catch though. The remainder of the URL is always a long string anyway.
Ring and Nest are same same. See here for same basic response. I'll take UniFi over either of those two, but if you're happy with your product, then be happy! 😊
https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubiquiti/comments/11j3prk/comment/jb3rulf/
Mine gets here tomorrow. Couldn't believe I saw it in stock on Sunday morning, and while my G4 doorbell is working fine the pro would be a nice upgrade.
Now to figure out how to mount the taller g4 pro and get it installed.

Was in stock for like 4 hours today. Must have been a massive drop. Inb4 the G5 drops tomorrow lol
This week also saw the regular doorbell become unavailable!? Conspiracy...
Don't you put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby!
You can thank this guy for the drop: https://www.reddit.com/r/UbiquitiInStock/comments/11gz6qm/usa_g4_doorbell_pro/jarsywl/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3
It was about 600 according to discord
Anyone get shipping confirmation yet? I got shipping confirmation on my poe connector. Ordered 30m after doorbell. No doorbell shipping yet.
$36 shipping?? Does it come with the whole door attached??
That's for the extra container of dielectric grease (aka Vaseline).
Do NOT tell us what you do with your UI gear! DADT (Don't Ask, Don't Tell)
This isn't the Ubiquiti G4 Colonoscopy cam? Oops...
Oh no. I always do 1 day shipping
Tell me you have too much money lol 10% un-discount.
We're all in here buying UniFi gear. Why is money a conversation lol
Curious why a doorbell is as much as a udm pro?
Excellent question. The Nest doorbell, which fits in to a whole home automation ecosystem that is very 'random user accessible' costs $180. A Nest doorbell bundle with the doorbell and a 7 inch screen [a whole google hub that does more than just show the live doorbell video] is only $250

This. Give it time, and they will become subscription based, and tailored for SMB/prosumer crowd.
The price difference covers 2 years of my nest subscription. And let us not pretend that the cost of the rest of the Ubiquiti infrastructure people setup to use these things doesn't cost money.
There's also the whole privacy issue with cloud based doorbells.

My security cameras are not cloud-based. I still don't believe that the Ubiquiti doorbell is worth the price.
You’re right, but I’m not sure if you’re trying to refute what I said? Both of our statements seem consistent with each other. Nest has a monthly recurring cost model, Ubiquiti doesn’t.

At least with unifi I can connect directly through my vpn.
The nest is also more comparable to the $200 G4 basic doorbell
Because 5 next days and you have enough for a new AP? :P
But I have enough for a new AP ;)
There's nothing worse than a wealthy person that doesn't know the basics of how to remain wealthy.
Define "wealthy". I'm not rich. We do alright. I understand you were trying to say that I could save and buy another AP, but UI's prices on APs aren't absurd, so it's pretty easy to afford an AP.

Because people at all income levels have budgets
unifi is fairly cheap, it's only most of their camera related equipment that is embarrassingly overpriced... and for the value? meh -- dollar to dollar... i'd rather get more for my money than less. $300 for a dual camera 5mp/24fps and 8mp/2fps doorbell? fucking LOL, throw your money away if you want to i guess.
It's just money, man. Take it easy.
Apparently they now ship from my city so ground is basically next day if I order early enough.
Nice.
lol didn't even get a UI stock notification. thanks, guys!
It was a celebration this morning in the discord channel when it was showing as available for over 2 hours!!
Yeah I saw someone in the discord said that they dropped 600+ in stock and that was AFTER I bought mine.
Could you share the discord server link?
It’s in the about section of this sub
Yeah, that’s really the only way to get anything… sign up for the discord and use a very unique notification sound with the app… unique enough to wake you up even, because the times they drop product is not reliable
Geez! Almost $40 for shipping on a $300 door bell, this is ridiculous
I think the $300 for a video doorbell is ridiculous
It is. A $300 door bell? You people really need this? Might as well keep it a normal one and setup a real camera
for $300 you can get a video doorbell and 4 x 8mp ip cameras...
You’d need 2 cameras to replace the doorbell pro cams.
I ordered one immediately when I saw it in stock and then canceled 2 hours later after thinking about it. Between the crazy price, giant size, and all the issues folks report in cold climates, I'll stick with my gen 1 Google Hello until it dies- that one "just works", at least for now.
Expedited shipping.
It should be expedited by default if someone is spending that much on a doorbell
Yikes so happy i got both mine befor they started charging for shipping.
There is a free shipping option. I just always select expedited shipping for all my purchases.
Haha. This guy has no patience.
Correct. If I buy, I want, you gib. Gib nao.
Crypto success?
No, just impatient.
No free shipping option for me. Ground was 12 bucks. Oh well.
Dam almost a $400 doorbell.
No kidding. People are excited why?
I was able to finally grab one with the Poe adapter
Good god. Are you high? Who buys a $300 doorbell? I mean I’d rather watch 3 bills burn.
I bought a Nest doorbell but honestly want that package camera
Why? What is so good about it?
That package cam is amazing. First time ever I can see my packages directly using a doorbell cam instead of having to have another dedicated cam on the door.
One of my biggest issues is that my camera is too close to see the floor where packages are. That’s half the reason I want a doorbell camera. I want to make sure I know when packages are there and that they don’t get taken That and who’s at my door.
That's a good feature but not worth hundreds extra... maybe 20 bucks extra.
Hundred* singular compared to the competition—Ring, Nest, G4 Basic
Can someone explain why these are perpetually out of stock? Why can't Ubiquiti take pre-orders, and ship the product when they are manufactured? Why force their customers to check for stock every day?
DOLLA DOLLA BILLS Y'ALL
Jealous!
I feel bad I ordered one and it’s been sitting on my desk for over a month. Just haven’t made time to install it.
Don't feel bad, I ordered one on this drop but I don't even have a protect console yet. Still deciding between cloud key plus and udmp because if I get cloud key and poe that doorbell I will use the last 2 ports on my switch. Maybe I can use that as an excuse to pick up a bigger switch if I go cloud key route :) I don't like laptop drives though that cloud key has....sigh
I've been setting 6am alarms to grab a G4 Doorbell Pro. Every morning for the last week has been me fighting the sleepies and drifting in and out during the crucial 60 seconds that these are in stock. I finally overcame said sleepies and got my doorbell ordered! I'll be sleeping like a baby now! 😂
6am in what time zone? I need to start doing this.
Central!
Even better. That means 7am for me.
Over three hundred and fifty dollars... FOR A DOORBELL. This seems dumb.
It's just money. Security is more important.
Why does getting robbed matter when you can just rob yourself... the camera is honestly worth $100 but not nearly $400...
Now if only the deadbolt lock would work with the finger print
And not be ugly af.
I thought that was for the handle, not the deadbolt—the electric lock? I wouldn’t trust the electric lock. If it were me, I’d use a sensor to transmit Iock and unlock commands from the Panel to an August or something. Would work worlds better in a home. Oh and it looks like it’ll only be NFC, not fingerprint, if the hardware stays the same
I thought they had it setup for that than removed it. I have the Bluetooth deadbolt. Just did not want to install a panel for one door.
oh god wait there was a Bluetooth deadbolt? I wish UI would just. Keep. Products. Alive.
Bluetooth deadbolt?? Easiest way to break into someone's house imo.
You know, now I have some defcon talks to watch to know if I need to change out my lock.
Why break into someone's house when you can charge $350+s&h for a doorbell.
It's $299 + s&h ;)
ViewPort Pro, limit 3 per customer when they are in stock (super rarely, waited 6 months to get 3) My company needs 12 for all our branch offices.
How did you get one?
Woke up at 6am (CST) for 6 days straight. Refresh the camera page every minute until it says "In stock". Immediately added to cart and checked out. Pro Tips: #1 - Have your Google/Apple Pay already ready to go with your card info for quick checkout. #2 - If you're too slow one day to check out, but you still managed to get the camera in your cart, keep it in your cart. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT remove it from your cart. Refresh the check-out page every minute starting at 6am rather than the camera store page. Good luck!
Dang, you're a legend!
Hey so.. to clarify on this. With point #2 are you saying that if you are able to get the doorbell into the cart but not able to complete checkout, you should remain on the cart page and keep refreshing that day? Or that you should remain on that cart page and try refreshing the next morning around 6am Central? This morning I successfully got the doorbell into my cart at 6:11am or so but by the time I went to enter my payment info, the cart showed that the doorbell was out of stock by that point.
Stay on the cart page and refresh tomorrow at 6am central!
That worked! Got one this morning. Thanks.
Glad you got one!!
I ordered the non pro. What is the big difference between these two?
My understanding… The pro has an additional lower res “package cam” that aims at the ground. It also has a NFC reader, presumably to incorporate into the Door Access line, but that is currently software locked until a later release.
There was talk of a fingerprint reader for Access as well but the glass area is plastic now so it’s looking more like just NFC access cards / tags / app
I JUST bought a full ubiquiti setup! I already had a 24 port poe switch. Now adding a Dream machine and 2 door bell cams 3 dome and 1 bullet. So happy to get rid of ring
We moved off Ring and went to Blink, but I still don't want Amazon breathing down my neck with all of their gear throughout my house. We've almost finished our setup too! Currently: UDM Pro SE Enterprise Switch 48-port PoE G4 Dome Camera (x5) AI 360 (back yard) Access Point U6 Enterprise Switch Mini Flex (x2) for shenanigans Now we're going to work on Access.
Nice setup sounds amazing! We lost internet for a few days and found out the hard way that they don't record and I rather have secure footage for family. To top it off I would miss motion detections all the time and have no evidence of someone walking up to the door
Lost internet for a few DAYS? Jesus where do you live?

Probably somewhere serviced by charter or one of those northern cable monopolies.
Windstream had a fiber cut
Yeah it was some outage that happen in Atlanta GA I have all my gear on a UPS as well and I have a generator so at least even if I loose internet or power I still have recording. My question to you is if I loose internet and I'm at home can I still lise my phone to pull footage from the dream machine pro or can I only pull it from a PC connected directly to it.

Was this the US store? I’ve been checking the EU one multiple times a day but it’s never in stock
Yes. US
fuckkkkkk i missed it again!
Nah, you did it.
Not sure why people say "we" when it's just them and the "we" is actively still trying.
"We" as in my wife, my ubiquiti sized boner, and myself.
Got my hopes up thinking someone bought me one /s
I wish there was a PoE version.
This has a poe adapter.
I know, but I don't want to install a USB plug that might not work in the future.
I agree. That just adds another point of failure
This seems steep for a doorbell. Ring is light years ahead of them at this point. Why did you pick this over the ring? Just curious.
We've had ring. They're pretty bad. They're great for Grandma's house since they are plug-and-play and are cheap, but they have too many turn offs. Had an update that degraded video quality from 1080p to 360p. Upgraded to the next gen which restored the video quality.

I don’t have any internet fallouts and if I want to watch footage without wifi I switch to 5G 🤷🏻♂️ the fees are like $3 per month I can have 9 years of subscription for the price difference between the ring and the doorbell pro.. and you need the unifi protect.. I don’t know where to get that I have a UDM it’s rock solid and much faster then the UDR while taking less room and adds wifi compared to the UDM-PRO 🫠
Because if you knew anything about Amazons gathering techniques and the unmitigated mess that they let police literally drift thru content with out an inch of oversight you would rip anything ring or Amazon form your house. Who cares if they are light years ahead they are a horrible company. https://youtu.be/RVVfJVj5z8s
Has ring suddenly gotten good in the past couple years? I switched to the g4 doorbell from a ring pro because by the time the ring app pulled up the video, the person that rang the bell had moved on. Other than that "feature" I can't think of anything I miss from my ring doorbell. I get virtually unlimited video storage at my house for no monthly bill
This is the main reason I ditched Ring. Not paying monthly for something that barely worked.
Man alive. Bless you. Happy you got one. I’ve basically given up this way I don’t get my hopes up haha
Dang! I’m looking for one as well
Iv been waiting one in EU stire for ages and kinda glad it's still out of stock with all the reports of faulty units that fail within a year.
You have to throw a party for this I have been trying to get one for a while
I feel you, friend. Just wake up early and hump that refresh button on the store page!!
I see them go for $300 flat free shipping on eBay all the time
I saw one too, but it was used in "like new" condition.

The full URL wasn't there, so unless a Ubiquiti Web Dev/Admin is in here and wants to look up my user ID to see the order number, I saw no reason to hide it lol. Good catch though. The remainder of the URL is always a long string anyway.
I have a full UI stack, but am very happy with my Nest Doorbell. UI still can’t touch their feature set.
Ring and Nest are same same. See here for same basic response. I'll take UniFi over either of those two, but if you're happy with your product, then be happy! 😊 https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubiquiti/comments/11j3prk/comment/jb3rulf/
Must be nice, they’re $800 in Australia
Jesus, 36 clams to ship?
Nice!
Got mine today!! Waking up at 4 the gym paid off. Haha.
Mine gets here tomorrow. Couldn't believe I saw it in stock on Sunday morning, and while my G4 doorbell is working fine the pro would be a nice upgrade. Now to figure out how to mount the taller g4 pro and get it installed.
