Overview
A compact PoE security camera from Ubiquiti's UniFi Protect line, built in a turret-style housing rather than a bullet form factor. It records 2K (4MP) video with a 102.4 degree field of view and up to 98 feet of infrared night vision.
Listed here under a bullet-camera category, but the model name and housing style are turret, a smaller ball-and-socket design rather than a cylindrical bullet body. It's a UniFi Protect device, so it expects a UniFi controller (cloud key, console or the UniFi OS app) rather than standalone operation, and power arrives over the same Ethernet cable via PoE.
- 2K (4MP) resolution
- 102.4 degree wide viewing angle
- 30m / 98ft infrared night vision
- PoE powered, weatherproof for outdoor use
Who it's for
Households or small properties already running, or willing to run, a UniFi Protect system who want an outdoor-rated camera with long night vision range and built-in audio. Not a fit for anyone wanting a plug-and-play Wi-Fi camera with no separate controller.
Pros and cons
- 2K resolution with a wide 102.4 degree field of view
- Long IR night vision range, about 98 feet
- Single PoE cable handles both power and data
- Weatherproof housing rated for outdoor exposure
- Requires a UniFi Protect controller, not standalone
- PoE injector or switch needed if your router lacks PoE ports
Performance notes
Night vision reaches about 30 meters using infrared, and the wide 102.4 degree angle is meant to cover more of a yard or entry point from a single mount. AI-based event detection flags relevant motion rather than recording everything indiscriminately, and the integrated microphone captures audio alongside video.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Ubiquiti G5 Turret Ultra need its own power supply?
No, it draws power over the same Ethernet cable via PoE, so a PoE switch or injector is needed if your router doesn't supply it.
Can the G5 Turret Ultra record audio?
Yes, it has an integrated microphone that records audio alongside video.
Does this camera work without a UniFi controller?
It's built for Ubiquiti's UniFi Protect ecosystem, so it's set up and managed through a UniFi console or app rather than running standalone.
