Crystal-Clear 4K Security: Details That Make the Difference for your Network
The UniFi G5 Pro sets new standards in UniFi Video surveillance. Its core is a massive 1/2-inch CMOS sensor, delivering razor-sharp 4K resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels). This means you can recognize faces, license plates, and other important details even from a distance with impressive clarity. Forget pixelated recordings – with the G5 Pro, you see what's really happening, at a smooth 30 frames per second. Advanced image processing with 3D noise reduction ensures a clean and clear picture even in challenging lighting conditions.
Intelligent Surveillance with 3x Optical Zoom for your IP Cameras
What good is the best resolution if you can't get close enough? The G5 Pro features a true 3x optical zoom. Unlike digital zoom, which only magnifies a section of the image and loses quality, here the lens physically changes its focal length. This allows you to zoom in on the action without loss of quality, maintaining full 4K detail. Paired with AI-powered event detection, the camera becomes your intelligent guardian. It reliably distinguishes between people, vehicles, and animals, minimizing false alarms and ensuring you are only notified of truly relevant events.
Built for Any Weather: Robustness Meets Design
A professional outdoor camera must withstand a lot. The G5 Pro, with its aluminum alloy housing and UV-stabilized polycarbonate, is perfectly equipped for this. The IP65 certification guarantees that it is dust-tight and can withstand even strong jet water, such as during a storm. Additionally, the IK04 classification offers protection against light vandalism. Whether in icy -20°C or summery 50°C – this camera works reliably and consistently delivers high-quality recordings for your security.
Seamless Integration into Your UniFi Protect System
If you're already familiar with the world of Ubiquiti, you'll love the G5 Pro. As part of the ecosystem, it integrates seamlessly into your existing infrastructure. All your IP Cameras are managed centrally and intuitively via the license-free UniFi Protect software. The camera connects easily to a PoE-enabled UniFi Switch via an Ethernet Cable and is ready for immediate use. Should you not have a PoE Switch, power can also be supplied via separate PoE Injectors / Power Supplies. The entire system functions even without an internet connection, as all recordings are stored locally on your NVR.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance for this IP Camera
- Pro: Excellent 4K image quality day and night thanks to a large 1/2' 8MP sensor.
- Pro: True 3x optical zoom for lossless magnification.
- Pro: Robust, weather-resistant (IP65) and vandal-proof (IK04) design.
- Pro: Intelligent AI detection of people, vehicles, and animals directly on the camera.
- Pro: Seamless plug-and-play integration into the UniFi Protect ecosystem.
- Note: Primarily designed for use with UniFi Protect; no official support for third-party NVRs (e.g., via ONVIF).
- Note: The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port is sufficient, but no longer the most modern standard for a Pro model.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the UniFi G5 Pro require a separate Power Supply?
No, the camera is powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE). This means that both data transmission and Power Supply occur over a single Ethernet Cable, which connects to a PoE-enabled Ethernet Switch or a PoE Injector / Power Supplies.
Can the G5 Pro recognize faces and report unknown persons?
The camera features AI-powered detection of people, vehicles, and animals to filter relevant events. However, it does not offer specific facial recognition that can distinguish between known and unknown persons, which is a feature often associated with advanced UniFi Protect systems.
Is the camera suitable for outdoor use in heavy rain?
Yes, the camera is IP65 certified. This means it is dust-tight and protected against jet water (e.g., heavy rain) from all directions. It is designed for unprotected outdoor use, making it a robust solution among IP Cameras.
Do I have to pay to use the UniFi Protect software?
No, the UniFi Protect software itself is license-free. However, it must be run on compatible Ubiquiti Networks hardware, such as a UniFi Dream Machine Pro, a UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus, or a UniFi Network Video Recorder (UNVR). This integrates seamlessly into your existing Network.
What is the difference between optical and digital zoom?
The G5 Pro features 3x optical zoom. This physically changes the focal length of the lens to enlarge the image without loss of quality. Digital zoom, on the other hand, merely magnifies a section of the image, which always results in a loss of image quality. Therefore, the G5 Pro's optical zoom delivers clear 4K resolution even when zoomed, distinguishing it from Other Cameras with only digital zoom.
Can the camera record without an internet connection?
Yes. Since recording takes place locally on your UniFi Protect NVR (e.g., UNVR), the entire surveillance system functions even without an active internet connection. However, remote access via the app will not be possible. This is a key feature of UniFi Protect.
