In true form for Ubiquiti, their Black Friday sale is pretty ho-hum. I use a lot of their equipment for the handful of businesses that I manage but over the last 3 years I've only bought one thing from their Black Friday sales. Other than the PTZ camera that's out of stock, that's the only thing I would have bought. If you need a rugged router, that looks like a pretty good price.
Ubiquiti's Black Friday sale is strongest on cameras and a few networking upgrades, with the G5 PTZ drawing the most attention at $150 and the AI Port at $100. The Enterprise 24 PoE Vintage also stands out at $400 for 2.5GbE PoE, and the Industrial Gateway gets interest for its built-in access point and UCG-Fiber-like performance. Stock is the main snag, since the PTZ camera keeps selling out and returning, and free shipping is missing this year. It is a better fit if you are chasing a specific camera or switch deal than if you want a broad prosumer refresh.
Installers wanting a high-end PTZ camera, because the G5 PTZ is priced aggressively and can come back into stock.
The G5 PTZ appears to cycle between out of stock and back in stock, and it was available in both black and white at different times. If it shows sold out, checking again later can still catch it in stock.
The G5 PTZ is listed at $150 during the sale. That price was described as a strong deal, especially compared with a recent purchase of 2 units for $774.
No memory or tariff surcharges are applied to the Black Friday items. That makes the listed sale prices cleaner than Ubiquiti's usual pricing structure.
The Enterprise 24 PoE (Vintage) is priced at $400, down from about $800 normally and $600 last Black Friday. It offers 2.5GbE PoE at a much lower entry price for the Ubiquiti ecosystem.
The Christmas sale has historically covered more devices and included free shipping on both the Black Friday and Christmas promos last year. If nothing in the current lineup is urgent, waiting may surface better options.

- G5 PTZ for $150 was nice, too bad its already sold out
- AI Port for $100 is great
- Industrial Gateway is interesting, performs like UCG-Fiber, has a built in AP, but no SSD
- AI Pro and Dome cameras are OK-ish deals as compared to standard G6 prices with all surcharges

Yep... almost nothing here that 'prosumer' folks will care about, except maybe the cameras.
I would've been tempted to upgrade to a UCG-Fiber and a U7-PRO-XG AP, but on the plus side, that's less money I'm bleeding to Ubiquiti.
I could probably talk myself into the Cloud Gateway Industrial if it were $299, but ultimately I don't need wifi on the gateway because the gateway lives in my basement.

Good enough that some things sold out immediately.
The Enterprise 24 PoE (Vintage) looked pretty good too. Normally $800 as I recall, and was $600 last BF. $400 for a good POE budget and 2.5Gb is not so bad for their ecosystem.
Few cameras here look okay too. G5 PTZ was in stock for me just now.

The u7 pro xg Is a beast, I've installed 14 of them so far, I never had issues with my other ubiquiti access points either, but these have also been 100% issue free.

Bettys_beast Said that too and I was able to pick one up! 🤘

Their Christmas sale right after the Black Friday promos were better / covered more devices. Who knows if that will be the pattern for this year, but at this point there's nothing here that's relevant / must buy, so might as well wait for the Christmas one.
They also did have free shipping last year on BOTH "black friday" and "christmas" sales, so not having that already this year is whack.

I've got a UCG-Max + U6 Pro which isn't bad either (both have been problem free) - my main wifi device (a Macbook Pro) gets close to gigabit over wifi which is more than enough.
Problem with getting a U7 Pro is that I'd want to have it on a 2.5GbE connection, and for that I'd need an expensive PoE injector that can handle 2.5GbE, OR upgrade to UCG-Fiber which has 2.5GbE PoE output.. I'll probably just hang tight for a while because my current setup is by no means lacking. Most of the devices I care about being fast are wired 2.5GbE anyway, and I hardly ever even fully utilize that.
Edit: Just checked, I guess Ubiquiti's 10GbE POE++ injector is only $39 so that's not too terrible.
