The right camera is about night, not megapixels.
What decides whether a camera is useful is how far it sees in the dark, because that is when you need it. We pick the camera for the spot, place it where it catches faces, and size the recorder so the footage is still there when you ask for it.
Four shapes cover almost every building.
Same sensor family, different housings for different places. Placement beats resolution, every time.
G6 Turret
The default. If you are buying six cameras, five are probably this one. Sees 30 m in the dark.
G6 Dome
Same optics as the Turret plus an IK10 vandal rating, for anywhere the public can reach it.
G6 Bullet
The visible deterrent. Points where you aim it and looks like it means it.
G6 Pro 360
One ceiling unit that sees the whole room, for tills, lobbies and open floors.
Prices are all-in CAD, Ubiquiti’s own price including their memory surcharge, and we add nothing to them. They move when Ubiquiti moves them, so we confirm every line on the quote.
What we do that a box on a shelf does not.
- Placement first. A camera at the wrong height photographs hoodies. We place for faces at doors and plates at gates.
- Powered by the switch. One cable each. No plugs, no batteries, no wireless dropouts on the evidence.
- Recorded locally, owned by you. Footage lives in your building with no per camera cloud fee, ever.
- Sized for retention. Cameras, resolution and days you keep decide the drives. We do that arithmetic before you buy.
The megapixel trap
4K on every camera is the fastest way to shorten your retention and blow the switch budget. Most of the value is placement and night range. We will tell you when the cheaper camera is genuinely enough.
Walk the building with us.
Doors, tills, yard and parking. An hour on site settles the camera count, the recorder, and the number.
