Surge protection should be used for all outdoor installations. We recommend that you use two Ethernet Surge Protectors, model ETH-SP-G2, one near the UVC-G3-Flex and the other at the entry point to the building. The ETH-SP-G2 will absorb power surges and safely discharge them into the ground. Note: Ensure the Ethernet cable is seated in the notch between the Flush Mount and base of the camera. Desktop Mount: The rubberised bottom of the Desktop Mount keeps your G3-FLEX in place on any flat surface Press the camera against the Pole Mount and line up the notches on the mount with the slots on the bottom of the camera.

The main difference between this and the Flex is that the G3 instant doesn’t transmit data over POE. Arguably one of the most important review measures in a CCTV camera. Video performance needs to be good and at first I was a little worried about how good the G3 Instant video would be, particularly at the price point it’s offered at. But, I then realised my current set-up of a bunch of G3 Flex Cameras are currently recording at 1080p 25fps. The G3 Instant records at 1080p 30fps, so there should be, on paper at least, a bit of improvement in terms of smoothness. UniFi Video System Requirements: 64-bit Microsoft Windows10/8/7, Ubuntu14.04 or 16.04, or Debian 7.0 System with an Intel or Compatible 1.86 GHz (or Above) Processor and a Minimum of 4 GB RAM Attach the camera to the Flush Mount by lining up the notches with the slots in the base of the camera. Press firmly together until the camera is secure. Indoor Wall Mount: Use the low-profile Indoor Mount to mount the G3-FLEX flush against interior wallsBut, be warned this camera isn’t actually 100% waterproof. It does need to be in a somewhat sheltered position with an overhang. Somewhere like underneath a rain gutter for example will leave it out of direct weather. It’s still outside but being underneath a rain gutter will leave it sheltered from the worst of the wind and rain.

More Tech Review Content The Unifi G3 Instant comes with nearly everything you need to get started straight away. The only thing missing for UK customers is a UK standard plug. It comes with a European two pin. But, that’s not really any trouble as most of us will probably have a USB plug to hand. I did anyway.

I really like that the cable connection is hidden underneath the camera. Not just for functional reasons but aesthetically too. It looks so much better and helps keep the styling inline with the overall sleek, compact look they’re going for. Allows you to change the viewing angle of the camera by adjusting left or right. Useful if mounted on a wall or other permanent surface. Use the Pole Mount with two screws and the Outdoor Cover to install the G3 Flex camera on a wall or flat surface outdoors.

I may end up doing this in the future, as I upgrade the cameras around my home and office with the 4k G4 Pro cameras. The Reset Button is used to reset the camera to factory defaults. Press and hold the Reset Button for more than 10 seconds while the camera is powered on. In a world of ever increasing 4k compatibility there’s something quite comforting about a bog standard 1080p camera. By recording in 1080p you don’t need terabytes and terabytes of storage and the quality is still fine for home or commercial use. There is a slight problem though, well it’s tiny to be honest. The 25fps the G3 Flex records at is just a tad too jittery.
