Hi Lemmy, what's a good IP camera with night vision and no vendor lock-in? (gregtech.eu)

It would be amazing if it doesn't disintegrate if it rains, too.

Higher resolution doesn't necessarily mean a better picture here. From what I can see in watching videos from this camera is that the bitrate is pretty low and the image is decent but not great. Without a doubt I get a better picture from a g3 flex and it's tiny. It's okay if you don't like ubiquity hardware but it seems more like you just want to bash on ubiquity than actually make a fair comparison.

As I already said I have a lot of ubiquity hardware. I have a router, switch, and several wifi APs. I really want to go all Ubiquity for the convenience but their cameras are just bad at the same price as other products.

I've actually bought and compared them. I've had ip cameras in my home for almost 10 years now. I've tried many cameras over the years.

It's not just my opinion, every review rates Ubiquity's cameras low. You are paying for convenience of integration if you already have Ubiquity's products.
