Discontinued. The manufacturer no longer sells this one new, so a retailer link here can land on remaining stock, a used or refurbished unit, or a successor model - check what the listing is before buying.
Newer version available. This model is succeeded by the UniFi G6 Instant - worth a look before buying this one.

The G3 Instant was a great little local-first indoor camera, but it's discontinued. If you already own one it's still perfectly usable on UniFi Protect. Buying new? Get the UniFi G6 Instant - same drop-anywhere convenience, now 4K with on-device AI.
Standout: Discontinued indoor Wi-Fi camera with fully local NVR recording - superseded by the 4K G6 Instant.
Notes last checked May 31, 2026.

Home Assistant support: supported · integration path: UniFi Protect or generic RTSP.
Price notes: No longer sold new. The current equivalent is the UniFi G6 Instant.

29 product corrections after a source audit of 82 products
Every rating and spec sentence on 82 products was checked against the manufacturer page and the Home Assistant integration docs. Twenty-nine claims were wrong and are now fixed: six products rated a tier too kindly for cloud-only devices, two rated too harshly (the August lock has a local Bluetooth path; the Roomba integration is local push), a phantom Ethernet port, a sealed lithium backup described as two AA cells. Every product page now shows the sources it was checked against, and a link to report an error.
