We don't know yet. The new line isn't there yet and we hope for improvements before the last camera is sold. Many have bought a few extra in the event a camera fails. That is how well thought of the 54IR series is.

At this time, if time is a factor, I have to reluctantly suggest going with Ubiquiti | RIP 5442 Series

You can still find some 5442 cameras on retail websites. I recently bought a new 5442-ZE for $163.01.

Because the 54pro camera is junk so far. The only good thing about the cameras is the bright spotlight and the IR lights.

I know the question was directed to @Chokolinho , but in my opinion, there really is no other alternative available unless you want to spend an exuberant amount of money on professional-grade IP cameras
On this forum, we like to follow a proven track-record, as well as what is considered the most secure option. I still favor the 5442 series over any Ubiquiti camera out there, but Ubiquiti has been catching up - they even have Edge AI cameras which run independently from their NVR systems - too bad they are prohibitively expensive. Options are bleak, but UniFi Protect software seems to be working better now than it has in previous years.

So, you are advising people to buy even worse Ubiquiti garbage for the price 2-3 times higher, just because it's not from Dahua?

I can’t recommend anything else at this time. The G6 Pro is not bad but settings prevent it from unlocking its full potential and therefore nighttime performance may sufferSo, you are advising people to buy even worse Ubiquiti garbage for the price 2-3 times higher, just because it's not from Dahua?
But it's definetly much worse than T54PRO at this moment... and I don't think G6 Pro ever going to work better. Its sensor is even worse than T54PRO at low light conditions.
