It didn’t do the seamless NVR like UBNT. For a single stand alone it was OK but it still cannot see a truck license plate in the dark.

As far as how it compares with Ubnt, I've tested as some point the unifi video cameras and they were pretty bad as far as quality, lacking some basic features (IR filter). It seemed to me like a beta product that should have never be release to the public. As I understand they refined it, but still, Hikvision is big, with a lot of experience in making just video surveillance products. Even so, our Hikvision fleet serves us well and I would not go with Ubnt. There is also the issue with interoperability: Hikvision cameras are supported on countless surveillance software and hardware (NVRs); Hikvision NVRs are supporting countless other cameras (other manufacturers) and even ONVIF and RTSP. That gives you the possibility to install a 3rd party product, in case you need it. I don't know if you can say that about Ubnt. Is that important? Well... if you have 1-2 cameras, probably no. When you go to larger projects, absolutely. Access control system that interconnect with video surveillance, professional analytics software, ONVIF support... I like Ubnt as far as radios, but that's where it stops for me.
