Product Features
Technical Overview
This camera records in 2K resolution (2688 x 1512), offering a significant clarity advantage over standard 1080p HD models. The 30 fps frame rate ensures smooth motion capture, reducing blur in fast-moving scenes. Imaging enhancements include 2D and 3D digital noise reduction (DNR), automatic white balance, and a removable IR cut-off filter, which work together to optimize picture quality in varying light conditions.
Network connectivity is provided through a single Fast Ethernet RJ-45 port, supporting wired data transmission and Power over Ethernet (PoE) for simplified installation. The camera accepts 37-57 V DC PoE input, drawing a maximum of 4 watts, which allows it to be powered directly from compatible PoE switches or injectors, eliminating the need for separate power cabling.
Relevant factors for this section include HD Recording, Recording Formats, Night Vision, Image Sensor Type. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
Key Product Advantages
The G5 Turret Ultra combines high-resolution imaging with robust outdoor durability and intelligent features to deliver a surveillance solution that balances performance with practicality. Its AI-powered event detection can identify and flag specific activities, reducing false alarms and focusing attention on relevant incidents.
Long-Range Night Vision
Infrared LEDs provide clear monochrome imaging up to 30 meters (98 feet) in total darkness, ensuring reliable monitoring around the clock. The built-in IR LED array and light sensor automatically activate night vision when ambient light drops below a usable level.
- 30m (98 ft) effective range
- Automatic activation
- Removable IR cut-off filter
All-Weather Resilience
Rated IP66 for dust and water resistance and IK04 for impact protection, this camera is built to withstand harsh outdoor conditions. It operates reliably in temperatures from -30°C to 50°C, making it suitable for exposed installations in diverse climates.
- IP66 weatherproof
- IK04 impact rated
- Wide temperature tolerance
Deployment / Use Cases
This turret-form camera is designed for fixed outdoor surveillance where a discreet, vandal-resistant profile is advantageous. Its multiple mounting options—ceiling, wall, or surface—provide flexibility for installation under eaves, on building exteriors, or in covered outdoor areas.
Typical applications include perimeter security for commercial properties, monitoring of entryways and parking lots, and oversight of outdoor storage or loading areas. The PoE capability simplifies deployment in both new and retrofit installations, as it requires only a single Ethernet cable for data and power.
Perimeter and Entry Monitoring
The ultra-wide 102.4° horizontal view covers broad areas like driveways, gates, or building facades with a single camera, reducing the total number of units needed for comprehensive coverage.
24/7 Outdoor Surveillance
With infrared night vision and all-weather durability, this camera provides consistent monitoring day and night, through rain, snow, and temperature extremes, ensuring uninterrupted security oversight.
Physical Profile
The turret form factor offers a low-profile, tamper-resistant design that blends into architectural surroundings while deterring physical interference. Its 90mm diameter and 330g weight make it compact and easy to mount on various surfaces without requiring heavy-duty supports.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 11.64 oz (330 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What resolution does this Ubiquiti camera record in?
The Ubiquiti UVC-G5-Turret-Ultra records in 4-megapixel (2K) resolution at 2688 x 1512 pixels. This provides significantly more detail than standard 1080p HD cameras, allowing for clearer identification of subjects and finer details in recorded footage, which is crucial for security review and evidence purposes.
How far does the night vision reach on this camera?
This camera features infrared night vision with an effective range of 30 meters (approximately 98 feet). It uses built-in IR LEDs to illuminate the scene in total darkness, capturing clear monochrome video up to that distance. A light sensor automatically activates night mode when ambient light drops, ensuring seamless transition between day and night operation.
Is this camera suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, this camera is designed for outdoor use. It carries an IP66 rating, meaning it is dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets, making it resistant to rain and weather exposure. It also has an IK04 impact resistance rating and operates reliably in temperatures from -30°C to 50°C, ensuring durability in harsh environmental conditions.
How is the camera powered and connected?
The camera is powered and connected via a single Ethernet cable using Power over Ethernet (PoE). It supports standard PoE (37-57 V DC) and connects through a Fast Ethernet RJ-45 port. This simplifies installation by eliminating the need for a separate power outlet and cable, allowing for cleaner setups and easier integration with existing network infrastructure.
What mounting options are available for this turret camera?
This turret camera supports ceiling mount, wall mount, and surface mount installations. Its compact design and included mounting hardware provide flexibility for placement under eaves, on building exteriors, or other fixed locations. The turret form factor is discreet and tamper-resistant, making it suitable for both visible and semi-concealed surveillance points.
Does this camera include audio recording capability?
Yes, the camera has a built-in microphone that enables audio recording alongside video. This allows for capturing ambient sound or conversations within its range, adding an additional layer of context to surveillance footage. The audio is transmitted over the same network connection as the video, requiring no separate audio cabling.
