Anyone use these? It's been on back of my mind to install security cameras and I've been looking around for a while for a decent wired network camera and I think I may have just found it. Decent price, wired and POE. Most of the ones I find when searching are wireless now days which is annoying, you have to run power from the UPS room anyway... it makes more sense to just use wired POE. More secure too.
I've seen similar spec ones at almost a grand from other companies.
These are the ones I'm looking at mostly:
https://www.ubnt.com/unifi-video/unifi-video-camera/
https://www.ubnt.com/unifi-video/unifi-video-camera-dome/
Also I think it comes with DVR software, how good is it? Originally I was playing with a cheap camera and zoneminder but that program is so sketchy I think I'd just bite the bullet and setup a Windows VM and use Windows software, so whether I pay for something like blue Iris or use what comes with the ubnt ones if it's decent. Would it's software work for other brand cameras too? Since I already have one Trendnet one I may as well stick that one somewhere too. Also if I go with that software will I be able to view from a Linux machine or does it use activeX or other bullcrap like that?
