Virtually Invisible, Maximally Powerful: The AI Theta Revolution
The UniFi Protect AI Theta Set redefines surveillance. Thanks to its ingenious modular design, you can install the central processing unit hidden in the wall or ceiling, while only the tiny, inconspicuous camera lens remains visible. Ideal for design-oriented offices, modern living spaces, or anywhere security technology shouldn't look like security technology. Installation is surprisingly simple: a single cable, connected to one of your UniFi Switch ports, powers the system (PoE) and integrates it into the Network.
Intelligence Onboard: More Than Just a Watchful Eye
Inside the AI Theta Hub, a powerful quad-core processor performs advanced AI analyses directly on the device. This means that the intelligent detection of people, vehicles, or animals happens locally, relieving your Network and protecting your privacy. No data is sent to the cloud for analysis. Within the UniFi Protect system, you can set up precise notifications and even enable license plate recognition. This way, you only receive the information that is truly important.
Two Perspectives, Endless Possibilities: Wide-Angle & 360°
Flexibility is key. That's why Ubiquiti delivers the AI Theta Set directly with two high-quality lenses. The 8MP wide-angle lens is perfect for targeted monitoring of entrances, hallways, or specific areas in a room. For seamless room coverage, simply switch to the 12MP 360° fisheye lens. It captures the entire room without blind spots and provides a clear, dewarped 6MP video image. No matter the scenario, you always have the perfect perspective ready.
Seamless Integration into your UniFi Network
As part of the family of IP Cameras, the AI Theta is perfectly integrated into the UniFi Protect ecosystem. Management, recording, and playback are centrally handled via your UniFi Dream Machine, the Cloud Key Gen2 Plus, or a dedicated UniFi NVR. This means for you: no monthly subscription fees, full data sovereignty, and intuitive operation via the Protect app on your smartphone or web browser. A reliable, professional, and scalable surveillance solution that grows with your requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the Ubiquiti AI Theta require a cloud subscription?
No, the AI Theta is fully managed via the locally hosted UniFi Protect software, which runs on a UniFi Cloud Key, a Dream Machine, or a UniFi NVR. There are no monthly fees for storage or access.
Is the AI Theta suitable for outdoor use?
No, both the AI Theta Hub and the included lenses are designed exclusively for indoor use. The device is not protected against weather conditions such as rain or dust.
How far can the camera lens be from the Hub?
The connection cable between the lens and the Hub can span a significant distance. While the included cable is shorter, optionally longer cables are available for distances of up to 30 meters, supporting your overall Network infrastructure.
Can the camera also be used without the AI functions?
Yes, the camera also functions as a traditional surveillance camera, similar to other IP Cameras. The advanced AI detection features are an optional feature that is activated and configured in the UniFi Protect software.
What resolution does the 360° lens provide?
The 360° lens uses a 12MP sensor and outputs a de-warped 6MP video image in 2560 x 2560 pixel format, enabling clear 360° panoramic vision without blind spots, a key feature for advanced IP Cameras.
Is a special lens required for license plate recognition?
License plate recognition is supported by the included wide-angle lens and optionally available telephoto lenses. The 360° fisheye lens is not optimized for this function.
