Doorbell Lite looks really nice, nothing overly fancy just a camera and a nice big button on the front.
Chime is smaller than I thought it was as well, can't decide wether or not to wall or ceiling mount it.
 
The thing that puts me off the new doorbells are they are RJ45 only.

I’ve got no issues putting holes in walls but the cable route to get to the front door is an utter nightmare as it’s in a small single story section that sits lightly forward of the main wall of the house.

There is no doubt a massive steel lintel blocking in the cable route.

I'm just going to route it between the door frame and the wall. Then down behind some uPVC trim through the floor then into the garage and the data cabinet easy peasy hours work.
 
The USW-Pro-XG-48-PoE is installed, but it's a little tight in the cabinet.

Up next is a USW-Pro-XG-Aggregation, which will replace USW-Pro-Aggregation

Then the Xmas project, all being well, is a UACC-Rack-12U-Wall to replace the Excel 15U 600MM

I’ve got both coming. We have a locked, gated driveway and so the doorbell lite will be mounted on the brick pillar.
 
They do but it will be shift old stock. Last year they did a free G4 bullet if you bought a UNVR and stuff like that.

They also had some kind of an offer on the old G4 doorbell as well I think.

I wish my data centre engineers were this neat! Nice cable management! ;)

I understand that it's a cheap device, but it looks it as well.

Agreed.

Maybe it’s the new design and the integration with Access but the new G6 doorbells don’t look as clean as the G4 and G4 Pro.

That said I’ll probably upgrade to the G6 Pro. However, they need to sort out the chime units as they are not very loud.
 
As I said before IF you can wire into a traditional chime, you can have the best of both worlds. That’s what I did with the G4 Pro. My house had nothing so I wired a Honeywell chime and use notifications and would be able to add a PoE chime later if needed. Do the G6 line allow that or is it PoE instead? Maybe the WiFi models would allow it.
