Overall seems good, although I am having a lot of issues with Thread on the PoE model.
What I didn’t realise until I had purchased 3 of them was that they don’t have IR which means in very very low light the image is terrible. But in mid to bright light the images are fantastic.
Considering I bought these to replace some Google Nest cameras, the Nest cameras are vastly superior in extremely low light (as they have IR built in) but in any other situation the Akara G5 Pro is much much better.

Hello, welcome to the forum. The G5 projector definitely provides quality lighting in the dark at night. I use it all the time for a quality image.
