Ubiquiti Just Dropped a Bombshell: The G6 Cameras Are Here – And They're Game-Changers

Ubiquiti has officially launched its next-generation G6 cameras, and if you're in the world of surveillance tech or a Unifi Protect enthusiast, you're going to want to tune in. In our latest YouTube video, we dive deep into the all-new G6 Bullet and G6 Turret cameras — and trust us, this isn’t just a small bump in specs. This is a generational leap.

First Impressions: A Massive Upgrade

Right out of the box, it's clear that the G6 line isn't just an iteration — it's a revolution. These new units are sleeker, sturdier, and packed with features that used to be reserved for pro-tier devices.

We’ve been reviewing Unifi cameras for years (since the IR Cam 2 days!), and one of the biggest gripes we’ve heard from the community has always been price vs. performance. That’s no longer a concern. The G6 cameras deliver pro-level performance for under $200.

Key Highlights from the Video Review

Unboxing & Build Quality

• The G6 Bullet feels more like the AI Bullet or Pro series than previous models — robust, substantial, and well-designed.
• The G6 Turret stands out with an elegant, rounded design and an innovative mounting system that adds both style and ease of installation.

Camera Specs That Impress

• 4K 8MP Sensor: One over 1.8" sensor delivering razor-sharp image quality — edge-to-edge clarity that rivals cameras 2x the price.
• Advanced AI: Onboard features include face and license plate recognition, with seamless support for Edge AI via the AI Key.
• Night Vision: Glare-free, long-range infrared with reliable low-light performance.
• IP66 Rating: Rugged enough for indoor or outdoor use — rain or shine.
• Available in both black and white casings to suit any environment.

The Price Point Breakthrough

At just $199, these cameras crush the competition — even the flood of cheap alternatives from overseas. And with Unifi Protect still being one of the most powerful, user-friendly platforms out there, you’re finally getting high-end hardware without the premium price tag.

Real-World Testing: Side-by-Side Comparisons

In the video, we set the G6 cameras up next to the G5, AI Pro, and Turret Ultra cameras — indoors and out. The results?

• Image quality is crisp and detailed, comparable even to DSLR footage in some conditions.
• Night footage is bright, clean, and full of detail — even without additional illumination.
• While the G6 Bullet isn’t quite an LPR (License Plate Recognition) killer due to its fixed wide field of view, it shines in every other category.

Who Are These Cameras For?

If you've held off upgrading due to price or were tempted by lower-cost third-party alternatives — the G6 line just ended that conversation.

The G6 Bullet and Turret are perfect for:

• Businesses needing crisp 4K monitoring without a huge investment.
• Home users looking for pro-grade performance and sleek design.
• Anyone already invested in the Unifi Protect ecosystem who wants top-tier gear at mid-tier prices.

AI Integration Without the AI Port

These G6 units don’t require an AI port — the smarts are built right in. But if you’re running an AI Key, you can unlock even more advanced features with ease. It’s all about flexibility and future-proofing your surveillance setup.

Final Thoughts: A New Era for Unifi Cameras

In short, Ubiquiti’s G6 series is a game-changer. It’s no longer a choice between quality and cost — you can finally have both. Whether you’re upgrading from the G5 series or building a new setup from scratch, these cameras should be on your shortlist.
