Features
Is it for you?
A compact PoE turret security camera with 2K resolution, smart detections for people, vehicles and animals, 30 m night vision and an IP66 weatherproof, IK04 tamper-resistant housing.
Choose it if these matter
- Local AI smart detections for people, vehicles and animals run without a subscription, and recordings stay on your own UniFi Protect recorder
- Single-cable PoE installation with an included wall/ceiling mount, plus a built-in microphone for audio capture
Skip it if these rule it out
- Needs the UniFi Protect ecosystem (Network Video Recorder, Cloud Key Gen 2 Plus or a UniFi console) to record; it cannot operate standalone
- 10/100 MbE port only, fine for one 2K camera but the slowest link class in the line
- Fixed focal lens with no optical zoom: framing is set entirely by where you mount it
Good for: Lots of smart devices · Home office · Apartments · Budget

The bullet form factor with the same 2K sensor class and a visible mounting arm.

Watch out
- Turret and Bullet Ultras share the sensor but are different housings with different mount hardware.
- The white and black variants are identical inside; only the finish differs, so buy by SKU suffix (B for black).
- G5 Turret Ultra is a step above the plain G5 Turret: the Ultra adds the AI smart detections.
