Ubiquiti G3 flex or Ring wireless spotlight camera?

Lochie A

Hi all,

 

I am trying to setup a security system for my parents on a budget. They were looking at the Ring wireless spotlight cameras as some other friends have them and recommend them however I am trying to convince them to use some G3 flex cameras instead and get the Unifi cloud key gen 2 plus to run them so they won't need a subscription and can still view the recordings remotely on their phone and get notifications. I was wondering if anyone knows the difference between the G3 flex and ring security cameras and whether they offer the same video quality and features. Also just wanted to confirm that no subscription is needed with the Unifi protect and that the video can be monitored remotely on a mobile device and receive push notifications with motion from the cameras. 

As with the budget, buying the two G3 flex cameras and the Unifi cloud key gen 2 plus works out roughly the same price as the two Ring wireless spotlight cameras while paying for the yearly subscription for one year. 

Thanks.
