Razor-Sharp Details: Your World in 2K HD
The UniFi G5 Dome sets new standards in video surveillance. With its powerful 5-megapixel sensor, this IP Camera records videos in an impressive 2K resolution of 2688 x 1512 pixels. The result is crystal-clear images with a depth of detail that far surpasses conventional 1080p cameras. Thanks to HDR technology, even scenes with extreme lighting conditions, such as backlighting or dark corners, are perfectly illuminated and balanced. So you won't miss a thing.
Robust and Resilient: IK08 Vandalism Protection for Sensitive Areas
Security also means reliability under the toughest conditions. The UniFi G5 Dome was developed precisely for this. Its high-quality aluminum alloy housing and hard-coated dome give it IK08 vandalism resistance. This means it withstands impacts with an energy of up to 5 joules – ideal for mounting in publicly accessible or critical areas. The IPX4 certification also ensures reliable protection against splashing water, so you can install it without hesitation in covered outdoor areas, making it a versatile option among Other Cameras.
Intelligent Surveillance That Thinks Along: AI-Based Event Detection
Forget the days of constant false alarms from swaying branches or stray cats. The UniFi G5 Dome features powerful, integrated artificial intelligence that precisely analyzes events. It reliably detects people, vehicles, and animals and only notifies you when it's truly important. This smart filtering makes your entire surveillance Network more efficient and relevant. Management is seamlessly handled via the central UniFi Protect software, the heart of your professional security solution.
Simplicity Redefined: Power over Ethernet and UniFi Protect
Installing the UniFi G5 Dome is incredibly easy. Thanks to Power over Ethernet (PoE), you only need a single Ethernet Cable for data transmission and Power Supply. Simply connect the camera to a compatible UniFi Switch or one of the suitable PoE Injectors / Power Supplies, and it will be immediately recognized in your UniFi Protect system. All configuration and access to live images and recordings are conveniently done via the web interface or the mobile app – completely without additional license or cloud fees. This way, you maintain full control over your data and your Network.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the Ubiquiti G5 Dome 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 is connected to a PoE-enabled Ethernet Switch or PoE Injectors / Power Supplies.
Can the G5 Dome be installed outdoors?
Yes, but only in covered outdoor areas. It has an IPX4 certification, which protects it from splashing water from all directions. However, it is not completely waterproof and should therefore not be exposed to direct rain.
Do I need a subscription to store the videos?
No. Ubiquiti UniFi Protect is a subscription-free system. All recordings are stored locally on your own hardware (e.g., UniFi Dream Machine Pro or UniFi NVR), eliminating monthly cloud fees.
What is the difference between the G5 Dome and the G5 Dome Ultra?
The G5 Dome is the larger, more robust model with a 5MP sensor, IK08 vandalism protection, and 2-way audio. The G5 Dome Ultra is an ultra-compact, more affordable variant primarily designed for indoor use, featuring a slightly different sensor, a higher IR range (20m), but only IK06 protection and no 2-way audio.
Does the camera also work without an internet connection?
Yes. As long as the camera and the UniFi Protect NVR are on the same local Network, recording and storage will function even without an active internet connection. However, remote access via the app will not be possible then.
What type of Ethernet Cable is recommended for the G5 Dome?
For a reliable PoE connection and data transmission, at least a Cat5e Ethernet cable is recommended. For longer distances or installations in environments with high electromagnetic interference, a shielded Cat6 Ethernet Cable is the better choice.
