UniFi Protect G4 Doorbell Pro

Verdict

UniFi Protect G4 Doorbell Pro is best suited to enthusiasts already invested in the UniFi ecosystem who want enterprise-grade software, rich notifications and wired PoE or USB-C power. Its dual-camera design and small screen are appealing, but the reviewer notes that the price is very high even against other PoE-capable competitors.

Pros

  • Dual-camera design 1 review 5.0
    Dual cameras provide a wide main view plus a dedicated downward package view, with picture-in-picture playback that keeps package awareness clear despite the low frame rate.
  • Field of view & framing 1 review 5.0
    The main camera offers an extremely wide angle that captures almost the entire porch, even when someone is standing very close to the door.
  • Installation & Mounting 1 review 5.0
    Installation is straightforward, with a solid metal back plate, angle bracket, and wiring accessories that make swapping from a previous doorbell quick and simple.
  • Chime 1 review 4.5
    The Pro works reliably with existing mechanical and digital chime boxes, and Ubiquiti maintains a compatibility list to help buyers verify support.
  • Low-light & Night vision 1 review 4.5
    Night vision with the built in IR illuminators keeps faces clearly visible at typical doorbell distances, making late night visits easy to review.
  • Phone call integration 1 review 4.5
    A phone-call style response option lets the system connect more directly when the doorbell is pressed, allowing faster, more natural conversations than relying only on standard live-view connections.
  • Recommendation for new buyers 1 review 4.5
    This model is an especially strong pick for existing UniFi Protect owners who want better package awareness and flexible power options, making it a recommended upgrade from the standard G4 doorbell.
  • Theft & Tamper 1 review 4.5
    A new security screw under the housing makes the Pro harder to remove quickly, improving resistance to casual tampering compared with the simple latch on the earlier model.
  • Notifications 2 reviews 4.3
    Motion and button-press alerts generally arrive quickly and can include rich snapshots, giving UniFi users timely awareness of front-door activity through the Protect app.
  • Power Options & Compatibility 2 reviews 4.3
    The Pro model must be wired but offers a choice of PoE or USB-C power, fitting neatly into existing UniFi networking setups even though it lacks a truly wire-free battery option.
  • App, software & firmware 2 reviews 3.8
    Running inside the UniFi Protect platform gives the G4 Doorbell Pro an enterprise-grade feel, with powerful controls and dashboards that especially appeal to users already invested in the UniFi ecosystem.
  • Delivery package monitoring 1 review 3.5
    The downward package camera helps monitor deliveries and can trigger timely alerts, but it only detects packages placed within its relatively narrow field of view.
  • Porch light brightness 1 review 3.5
    The built in porch light turns on automatically as people approach and adds useful illumination, though its brightness is modest compared with a dedicated exterior light.
  • Video resolution & detail 1 review 3.5
    Video resolution is adequate for identifying visitors, but the small doorbell lens and backlit scenes mean image quality is noticeably behind larger UniFi cameras.

Cons

  • Price & value 2 reviews 3.0
    The G4 Doorbell Pro remains significantly more expensive than many competing doorbells, so it tends to make the most sense for committed UniFi Protect users who value its dual cameras, integration, and wired PoE or USB-C power despite the price premium.
  • Size & form factor 1 review 3.0
    The G4 Doorbell Pro is noticeably larger than the non pro model and can overhang small mounting blocks, trading compactness for its added sensors and cameras.
  • Weather & temperature tolerance 1 review 3.0
    The Pro is rated IPX4 and specified from 14 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit, but there is some concern about longevity for front doors that frequently exceed the upper temperature limit.
  • Audio 1 review 2.0
    The microphone picks up voices reasonably well, but the tiny built in speaker is too quiet for reliable two way conversations from the doorstep.
