The Ubiquiti UVC-G3-PRO is a 1080p Indoor/Outdoor IP Camera designed for surveillance and security applications, featuring infrared and optical zoom capabilities. This robust camera is part of the UniFi Protect ecosystem, offering seamless integration and management through a dedicated mobile application or a web interface.
The primary function of the UVC-G3-PRO is to capture high-definition video surveillance footage in various environments, both indoors and outdoors. It is equipped with a powerful lens that supports optical zoom, allowing users to adjust the field of view to focus on specific areas of interest without sacrificing image quality. The integrated infrared (IR) LEDs enable clear night vision, ensuring continuous monitoring even in complete darkness. This makes the camera suitable for 24/7 surveillance, providing comprehensive coverage day and night.
The camera's networking capabilities are facilitated by a 10/100 RJ45 Ethernet port, which serves a dual purpose: providing both data connectivity and power through Power over Ethernet (PoE). This simplifies installation by eliminating the need for a separate power cable, as the camera can draw power directly from a compatible PoE switch. The UVC-G3-PRO supports various PoE standards, including 802.3af, 802.3at, and 24V Passive PoE, offering flexibility in power source options.
Video compression is handled using H.264, an industry-standard codec that efficiently compresses video data while maintaining good quality, thus reducing storage requirements and bandwidth usage. The camera delivers 1080p Full HD resolution at 30 frames per second, ensuring smooth and detailed video playback.
The UVC-G3-PRO is designed for versatile deployment, offering both wall/ceiling mount and pole mount options. The mounting kits for wall/ceiling installation are included, while a bracket is provided for pole mounting. This adaptability allows the camera to be installed in a wide range of locations, from building facades to utility poles, to cover desired surveillance areas.
For initial setup and ongoing management, the camera integrates with the UniFi Protect App. This mobile application provides a user-friendly interface for configuring camera settings, viewing live feeds, and managing recorded footage. The app guides users through the setup process, making it accessible even for those with limited technical expertise. Alternatively, for standalone operation or more advanced configurations, the camera offers a web-based user interface.
Adjusting the camera view is a straightforward process. The camera's design allows for physical manipulation of its orientation to achieve the desired angle. The optical zoom feature can be controlled remotely through the UniFi Protect app or web UI, enabling users to zoom in or out to capture specific details or a broader scene as needed. Image settings such as flip, brightness, contrast, WDR (Wide Dynamic Range), hue, infrared, sharpness, saturation, and denoise can all be customized to optimize video quality for different lighting conditions and environments. The 50/60 Hz flicker reduction setting helps to minimize light flickering artifacts, ensuring consistent video quality.
The camera is built to withstand outdoor elements, featuring an IP67 weatherproofing rating. This means it is protected against dust ingress and can endure temporary immersion in water, making it highly durable for outdoor installations. The enclosure is constructed from UV-stabilized polycarbonate and die-cast aluminum, providing robust protection against environmental factors and vandalism.
Maintenance of the UVC-G3-PRO is designed to be minimal and user-friendly. The camera includes a reset button, which allows users to restore the device to its factory default settings. This is a crucial feature for troubleshooting or reconfiguring the camera, and it is activated by pressing and holding the button for more than 10 seconds while the camera is powered on.
For outdoor installations, Ubiquiti recommends using shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling with a drain wire. This type of cabling helps protect the network from harmful outdoor environments and destructive ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) events. Grounding the cabling through the AC ground of the PoE is also advised to enhance protection. To further safeguard the network and the camera from power surges, the use of two Ethernet Surge Protectors (model ETH-SP) is recommended: one near the camera and another at the building's entry point. These surge protectors absorb power surges and safely discharge them into the ground, preventing damage to the equipment.
The robust construction of the camera, with its UV-stabilized polycarbonate and die-cast aluminum enclosure, contributes to its low maintenance requirements by ensuring long-term durability and resistance to wear and tear from exposure to the elements. The absence of operator-serviceable parts inside the equipment emphasizes that any internal servicing should only be performed by a qualified service technician, ensuring the integrity and safety of the device.
Regular software updates, managed through the UniFi Protect ecosystem, ensure that the camera benefits from the latest features, security enhancements, and bug fixes, contributing to its ongoing performance and reliability without requiring manual intervention for firmware upgrades. The UniFi Protect platform simplifies the management of multiple cameras, allowing for efficient monitoring and maintenance across an entire surveillance system.
