I want a different camera because:
- ubnt might not make it with the lens I want
- ubnt might not make the camera I need. Having one "in the works" is a
joke, not an answer to my potential problem
- ubnt is not on this list
http://www.onvif.org/About/AlphabeticalMemberList.aspx and that might be
important as far as inter-operating with others (reasons: existing
hardware on the premises, request from client).

To say the UBNT product is not a professional product is both naive
and simply an opinion. Just because you cannot use a third party
product with it doesn't mean it's not a professional product. And I'll
bet UBNT has a camera in the works with tilt, pan and zoom.
UBNT was designed to be simple to install and quick to deploy. It was
also designed to just work. Their cameras are by far the best cameras
and NVR I've been able to find on the market. Nothing else I've found
is as seamless. I don't know why you would want a 3rd party camera
with it to be honest. Their cameras are really good.
I'm not saying that UBNT is the best in every environment, but they
are for most in my opinion.
Thank you,

We are not comparing apples with apples here. Hikvision is
professional product (like many others on the market). Ubnt is not.
Can you install a 3rd party PTZ/Speeddome camera on Ubnt system if
needed? I am talking here about _integrating_ it with the Ubnt software.

Ubnt stuff is unreliable. What didn't you like about the Hikvision?
Probably just a setting, stuff is flawless

Please compare the specs and see what they can do and
cannot do.
As far as how it compares with Ubnt, I've tested as
some point the unifi
video cameras and they were pretty bad as far as
quality, lacking some
basic features (IR filter). It seemed to me like a
beta product that
should have never be release to the public. As I
understand they refined
it, but still, Hikvision is big, with a lot of
experience in making just
video surveillance products. Even so, our Hikvision
fleet serves us well
and I would not go with Ubnt.
There is also the issue with interoperability:
Hikvision cameras are
supported on countless surveillance software and
hardware (NVRs);
Hikvision NVRs are supporting countless other cameras
(other
manufacturers) and even ONVIF and RTSP. That gives you
the possibility
to install a 3rd party product, in case you need it. I
don't know if you
can say that about Ubnt. Is that important? Well... if
you have 1-2
cameras, probably no. When you go to larger projects,
absolutely. Access
control system that interconnect with video
surveillance, professional
analytics software, ONVIF support...
I like Ubnt as far as radios, but that's where it
stops for me.
