I use my G4Pro zoomed 100% to my cul-de-sac, which optically retains a very clear picture. Zoom is not being used enough by clients to gain clarity on picture result.

I had my AI Bullet mounted on a light pole about 15-20feet from the roadway. I hardly ever received accurate reads if any at all for plates. I gave in and went through a labor intensive process of trenching and burying an ethernet out to my mailbox. During the day time, i get almost 100% of the cars that drive past. Unfortunately the camera is placed where someone with nefarious intentions could just rip it down. If one's priority is license plate reading, i believe the extra investment of the AI PRO would be worth it over the bullet for the distance advantage. Great video!

Thank you for your videos on ubiquiti products, really helpful to decided which we should get for our needs. AI tech isn't really working perfectly just yet, just like the new Samsung phone just came out with those new AI things which none of them working perfectly!

I am having the same problem that @locharlie is having without the options under Detailed such as license plate search, the optical zoom is not there, etc. I am on the latest version of CKG2+ at 3.2.12 and network at 8.2.93, and Protect at 4.0.21. Is your NVR different and on a different version? Can it maybe the features are somewhat NVR dependent?

Curious why you didnt pan the bullet more to right to capture more instead of dead space? Not judging - making sure I am not missing something with my setups IE if the cam is smarter in the center / with less input. I'm guessing it is a test and that was good enough? Thanks great channel! I am 1 man MSP, all I use is UI.. Edit - I get my LP at ~40 feet in the driveway with the AI Pro. Disapointing :/ EDIT2 - I do not see zoom options :/

I have a AI pro in my garage too, as some people say, you have to zoom to read a plate a bit away (we Even have big nice plates) what i dont get it if it detects a vehicle, why cant it just do this in software, its a car, software zoom on a still, enhancing, read plate in the background.. One would think it should be possible Even with digital zoom, as I can digitally zoom and see the plate no issue with my eyes

Ubiquiti cameras have those "person detection" capabilities, but that's just tell you "oh there is a person walk by" and we know that was a human, because we can see them on our records obviously, so at this point it's pretty useless, but who knows what the future brings to this cameras, after all I love ubiquiti products

The cameras can only detect plates that are visible in the view. So if you cannot see the plate on the footage, neiher can the camera either. AI Pro should be able to make better detections because of the 4K image and more pixels to analyse, rather than AI Bullet that is only 2K. That being said, I have AI pro and AI bullet on different angles and heights on my front yard and they detect almost all the plates. Only if theres snow plate is unreadable for some other reason, they dont read it. But if one fails ,another usually read the plate from another angle. The cameras are best when they are aimed directly at the incoming car with the plate approaching or leaving. There has been few times when they have added extra letters in front of the plate but its gotten better all the time with updates so less false detections. PS: Get well you sound like you're having a flu!
