This is an interesting camera. I like Ubiquiti products (particularly Unifi), but it's been hard for me to take them as a serious video surveillance manufacturer. But Ubiquiti will probably overachieve like they usually do.
The lack of ONVIF is a little concerning. I doubt that many VMS's will have drivers for this camera, so you're probably stuck with Unifi Protect Controller. For me, that puts it into the range of cheap add-on that you could pitch to somebody that you're already doing a wireless network for.
Has anybody had good results with Unifi Protect systems?

For the longest time I have abstained from considering Ubiquiti to be in my lineup. After this, I may finally give in. Really like the price and the form factor. Of course the test is great by IPVM too. Ubiquiti has gone through weird things and I always viewed them as some Shenzhen type of manufacturer.
No more...

Between all the supply issues and how propriety the systems are I have zero interest.

"No ONVIF Support: The Flex camera does not support the ONVIF Protocol.'
Is there RTSP Streaming?

I always avoid deploying any UBNT products until at least a year of involuntary beta-testing by end users. This does look like an interesting product tho. But it's hard to understand why esp. a wireless company wouldn't be a lot more careful with excessive bandwidth consumption - hope they fix that in a subsequent firmware release.

If it had ONVIF the slammers could sell an IP Camera license that costs more than the camera itself. Just think if ISCSI, NFS or Fibre Channel had licenses to connect your data to a storage device. You could just build a ton of LUNS and make out like a bandit.
I like this camera from Ubiquiti and for $79 it works fine for me. Easy deployment for technicians, simple system for customers to understand. It is added to the sell list.
Someone mentioned supply issues, I take it that the camera is new and the demand output was higher than the supply input. I like that it is proprietary rather than investing time into making your product work with everyone else's junk. Access control may be coming soon.
IPVM Question: Did you have the audio on or off during your bandwidth tests?

Were you able to find out the manufacturer/model of the DSP as well as the image sensor for this camera? Was the web interface limited to IE as usual or is it available to other browsers? Were you able to test it at all with Mac access? Do they have an included CMS software package for PC/Mac? What is the name of their Google Play and iStore apps?

Vivotek used to Oem for them
I really wonder if this is made in the USA
Either way it looks pretty limiting

A few points worthwhile mentioning.
This report doesn't state where the camera is manufactured. The fact its a US company is pretty well irrelevant to where it's actually made. Strangely when I asked Ubiquiti the same questions - they declined to respond.
To add to the notable omission of ONVIF capability I had some disappointing responses to my compliance questions placed with Ubiquiti:
1. The camera is not rated to any impact resilience - such as IK10
2. The camera is not environmentally rated to IP66, despite claiming it's suitable for external use.
3. The camera has no NEMA rating either.
Compliance and testing is an expensive part of any product development - but I guess that if you don't think its important or relevant - then simply ignoring it can save a few $'s.
It seems that in entering the race to the bottom - Ubiquiti have missed a few key points that pretty well make it non-compliant with virtually every tender that crosses my desk.

The Ubiquiti Flex camera was made in China, I updated the report with this information.
