FAQ
What resolution does the Ubiquiti UVC-G5-Flex camera record at?
The camera records at 5 megapixel resolution, specifically 2688 x 1512 pixels. This high-definition resolution provides detailed video footage suitable for identifying faces, license plates, and other important details in surveillance scenarios. The 30 frames per second frame rate ensures smooth video playback without motion blur.
How far does the night vision reach on this network camera?
The infrared night vision effectively covers distances up to 19.69 feet (6 meters). The camera uses built-in IR LEDs to illuminate dark areas, allowing it to capture clear monochrome footage in complete darkness. A removable IR cut-off filter automatically switches between day and night modes to optimize image quality.
Can this camera be used outdoors?
Yes, the UVC-G5-Flex is rated for both indoor and outdoor use. It features IPX4 weather resistance, which protects against water splashes from any direction, and IK04 impact protection against mechanical impacts. The camera operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -4°F to 104°F (-20°C to 40°C), making it suitable for various environmental conditions.
What power options are available for this camera?
The camera supports two power methods: Power over Ethernet (PoE) and direct DC input. When using PoE, a single Ethernet cable provides both data connectivity and power. Alternatively, you can use a DC power adapter with an input voltage range of 37 to 57 volts DC. This flexibility allows installation in locations with or without PoE network switches.
What mounting options are included with the camera?
The package includes five different mounting options: desktop mount, wall mount, pole mount, hard-ceiling mount, and the camera itself with its integrated mounting hardware. This comprehensive set allows installation on various surfaces including tables, walls, ceilings, and poles without requiring additional purchases. All necessary screws and brackets are included.
What video compression format does this camera use?
The camera uses H.264 video compression, which efficiently reduces file sizes while maintaining good image quality. This format minimizes bandwidth usage and storage requirements compared to uncompressed video, making it ideal for network transmission and extended recording periods. The compression maintains the 2688 x 1512 resolution at 30 fps.
