The UVC-G5-PTZ-B is a compact, weather-resistant PTZ camera offering 2K (4MP) resolution, 2x optical zoom, IR night vision up to 20m, and intelligent event detection with automatic person tracking.
Product Description
Ubiquiti UniFi G5 PTZ (UVC-G5-PTZ) is a compact, all-weather pan-tilt-zoom camera with ultra-low latency control and versatile mounting options. It captures 4 MP (2K) video and features a 2× optical zoom lens for detailed surveillance footage. With a 20 m (65 ft) infrared night vision range and an integrated LED spotlight, the G5 PTZ provides clear monitoring in complete darkness and enables full-color video at night when needed.
Equipped with smart AI-driven technology, the camera can detect people, vehicles, and animals, and automatically track persons moving across its field of view to enhance security monitoring. An integrated microphone allows audio recording alongside the video feed for a more comprehensive situational overview. The G5 PTZ is housed in a rugged enclosure rated IP66 for weather resistance and IK04 for impact protection, making it suitable for deployment both indoors and outdoors.
As part of the UniFi Protect ecosystem, the G5 PTZ seamlessly integrates with UniFi Protect software for centralized management, video recording, and intelligent alerts via the web portal or mobile app. The camera is powered through PoE+ (Power over Ethernet), simplifying installation by using a single cable for both data and power. The package includes wall and pole mounts, and optional ceiling, surface, pendant, and corner mounting accessories are available – allowing the G5 PTZ to be easily installed in virtually any professional environment.

Applications & Compatibility
The G5 PTZ is ideal for a variety of professional surveillance scenarios – from large open areas like parking lots and warehouses to building perimeters and public spaces. Its pan-tilt-zoom capability allows a single camera to cover broad areas that would normally require multiple fixed cameras, with the ability to actively follow subjects in real time. Security operators can leverage the camera’s ultra-low latency PTZ control for responsive live monitoring, making the G5 PTZ well-suited for guard stations and live surveillance applications.
The camera’s weatherproof design and flexible mounting options make it easy to deploy in both outdoor and indoor environments. G5 PTZ integrates seamlessly with other UniFi Protect cameras and network video recorders, allowing centralized management and video storage. You can manage the G5 PTZ alongside other UniFi devices through the UniFi Protect web interface or mobile app, receiving motion alerts and accessing live or recorded footage remotely as part of a comprehensive security system.
