4K Surveillance Redefined: The G6 PTZ with 10x Hybrid Zoom
The UniFi Protect G6 PTZ sets new standards for video surveillance. With its brilliant 4K resolution and powerful dual-sensor system, nothing will escape your notice. While the wide-angle lens keeps your entire property in view, the 10x Hybrid Zoom of the telephoto lens allows you to bring distant details like faces or license plates into sharp focus. Whether you are monitoring a large parking lot, a long driveway, or your company premises – the G6 PTZ always delivers a clear and detailed image.
Your Surveillance Camera with Autotracking and AI Brain
What truly makes this camera intelligent is its integrated AI engine. It is not just a passive observer but an active guardian. The intelligent auto-tracking detects people and automatically follows them with ultra-smooth pan and tilt movements. The Smart Zoom function ensures that the target always remains optimally in focus. Thanks to advanced analytics such as face and license plate recognition directly on the device, false alarms are drastically reduced, and forensic searching for events becomes child's play.
Built to Last: Robustness Meets UniFi Elegance
The G6 PTZ is designed for demanding outdoor use. The housing, made of aluminum alloy and polycarbonate, is IP66 dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets. IK04 certification also provides protection against vandalism. As part of the UniFi ecosystem, it integrates seamlessly into your existing infrastructure. Management via UniFi Protect software is as intuitive as ever, making the G6 PTZ one of the most powerful IP Cameras on the market.
Easy Installation, High Demands: What You Need to Know
The G6 PTZ is conveniently powered via a single Network cable. However, due to its high performance, it requires a PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus, 802.3at) port. A standard PoE port is not sufficient. So, make sure your Ethernet Switch supports this standard. For additional redundancy, the camera has a MicroSD card slot, which enables local recordings if the connection to the NVR should ever be interrupted.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the Ubiquiti G6 PTZ Camera require a special PoE Injector?
Yes, it requires a PoE+ (802.3at) capable Network port or PoE Injectors / Power Supplies that can deliver at least 24.5 watts of power. A standard 15-watt PoE port is not sufficient.
What is the main difference between the G6 PTZ and the older G5 PTZ?
The G6 PTZ offers significant upgrades: 4K resolution, 10x hybrid zoom, a more advanced dual-sensor, and an integrated AI engine for face and license plate recognition, which the G5 lacks. Additionally, the UniFi Protect G6's tracking performance is smoother, making it a superior IP Camera.
Can the G6 PTZ save recordings without a UniFi NVR?
Yes, the IP Camera has a MicroSD card slot for local backup recordings. However, for full functionality and central management, a UniFi OS Console like a UNVR or a Dream Machine Pro from Ubiquiti Networks is recommended for comprehensive UniFi Protect capabilities.
Which AI recognition features does the G6 PTZ support?
It supports smart detection of people, vehicles, and animals. Furthermore, this advanced IP Camera offers extended AI functions such as facial recognition and automatic License Plate Recognition, enhancing UniFi Protect surveillance.
Are the G5 PTZ mounts compatible with the G6 PTZ?
Partially. Important Mounting Systems like the conduit adapter or the pendant mount are compatible. However, due to the larger dimensions and higher weight of the G6 PTZ, installations must be individually checked, and specific Ubiquiti Accessories might be needed.
For which application areas is the G6 PTZ best suited?
As a high-performance IP Camera, it is ideally suited for monitoring large areas such as parking lots, company premises, or large gardens, where both a wide overview and zooming in on details are crucial for effective UniFi Protect surveillance.
