Why G4 is Better than Amazon

Amazon can look like a “deal” until you add the math. G4 is built for long-term performance, real support, and zero recurring cloud fees. You own it. Period.

• Amazon seller fees can be as high as 38%.
• Most sellers also pay for click advertising (often 10%–20%).
• Quality gets squeezed when the seller has to “buy traffic” to survive.

Many IP cameras sold on Amazon—regardless of the badge—are commonly sourced from a small set of large manufacturers.

We believe you should compare what actually matters: real specifications, real warranty, and the components engineered for long service life.

When you compare specs and warranty, G4 wins every time.

• We only use one of three image sensor families: Sony, OmniVision, and SmartSens.
• Expensive sensors are the reason G4 IP cameras are designed for 10–15 years of field life.
• Cheap “knockoff” sensors can be as low as 25 cents—while our sensor chip cost is roughly $20–$65.
• These higher-grade sensors help prevent UV deterioration and preserve image quality for years, not months.

Real tech support matters when you’re on a ladder, pulling cable, or upgrading a system.

G4 provides real American, English-speaking, experienced technical support.

• Amazon sellers’ typical warranty is often 6 months to 1 year.
• G4 warranty is 3 years—and it’s been for 27 years.
• That’s confidence in the engineering, not a marketing promise.

Field performance isn’t a “spec.” It’s what survives rain, snow, ice, humidity, and heat.

G4 has served 40,000+ industry installation companies and supported many Fortune 500 organizations and government agencies.

Because we haven’t chased “easy volume” on Amazon, our products are typically less expensive than competing Amazon sellers—while delivering higher quality.

We aren’t burdened with Amazon fees and ad requirements, which means savings can go into advanced microprocessors, better image sensors, and PoE circuits—without cutting corners.

WE NEVER sell recurring cloud fees. When you buy a G4 product, you own it.

• We’re located near Cincinnati, Ohio.
• UPS Ground delivery for 67% of the USA population is typically 1–2 days.
• Exception: west coast buyers.

CCTV installs are often labor-intensive: network cabling, tall ladders, and sometimes renting lift trucks.

The last thing you want is to replace cameras prematurely. We understand this after 27 years in the industry.

• Peace of mind for all climates: rain, snow, ice, humidity, heat.
• FREE smartphone apps and FREE PC/Laptop surveillance apps. No fees.
• G4 degreed engineers deliver powerful, easy remote viewing—no networking experience required.
