Frequently Asked Questions
Ubiquiti UniFi G5 Bullet 2K HD Network Security Camera
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
What video resolution does the UniFi G5 Bullet support?
The camera records at up to 2688 × 1512 pixels, which Ubiquiti classifies as 2K resolution. It uses a 16:9 aspect ratio and can record at up to 30 frames per second.
What image sensor does the camera use?
The UVC-G5-BULLET uses a 5MP CMOS sensor. The camera produces a maximum recorded image of 4MP at 2688 × 1512 resolution.
Does the G5 Bullet support smart detections?
Yes. It supports smart detection of people, vehicles, and animals when used with a compatible UniFi Protect system. Detection results and available alert options depend on the installed Protect software and configuration.
Does the camera have night vision?
Yes. The camera includes infrared LEDs and an automatic IR-cut filter for nighttime monitoring. Ubiquiti specifies an infrared night-vision range of up to 9 meters, or approximately 30 feet.
Does the G5 Bullet record in color at night?
The camera normally uses infrared illumination and switches to a monochrome night image in very low light or darkness. Available image behavior depends on lighting conditions and camera settings.
What is the camera’s field of view?
The fixed lens provides an 84.4-degree horizontal field of view, a 45.4-degree vertical field of view and a 99.8-degree diagonal field of view.
Does the camera have optical zoom?
No. The G5 Bullet uses a fixed-focal-length lens and does not provide motorized optical zoom. Digital enlargement may be available while viewing footage, but it does not add image detail.
Does the G5 Bullet include a microphone?
Yes. A built-in microphone captures audio alongside video. Ubiquiti states that the microphone can be disabled through software. Users should follow all applicable audio-recording and privacy laws.
Does the camera include a speaker?
No speaker is listed in Ubiquiti’s official specifications. The G5 Bullet should not be treated as a two-way audio camera.
How is the camera powered?
The camera uses standard Power over Ethernet and accepts a supported voltage range of 37–57V DC. It must connect to a compatible PoE switch or PoE injector.
Is a PoE injector included?
A PoE injector is not listed as a standard included accessory. Buyers without a PoE-capable switch should purchase a compatible injector separately.
What is the maximum power consumption?
Ubiquiti specifies a maximum power consumption of 4 watts. This low power requirement makes it practical to deploy several cameras from a properly sized PoE switch.
What type of network port does the camera use?
The G5 Bullet includes one 10/100 Mbps Ethernet RJ45 interface. This connection carries both network data and PoE power.
Does the camera support Wi-Fi?
No. The G5 Bullet is a wired Ethernet camera and does not include Wi-Fi. An Ethernet cable is required for network connectivity and power.
Is the G5 Bullet suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes. Ubiquiti currently lists the camera with an IP55 weatherproofing rating. It should be mounted and cabled according to the installation instructions, with outdoor-rated Ethernet cable and suitable surge protection where appropriate.
What temperatures can the camera operate in?
The specified operating-temperature range is -20°C to 40°C, equivalent to -4°F to 104°F. Operating humidity is rated from 0% to 90% noncondensing.
Can the camera be mounted on a ceiling or pole?
Yes. Ubiquiti supports wall, ceiling, and pole mounting. The standard mounting system is included, while compatible junction-box and gang-box accessories are optional.
Does the G5 Bullet work without UniFi Protect?
The camera is designed for the UniFi Protect ecosystem. A compatible UniFi Protect console, CloudKey, gateway, or network video recorder is required for normal adoption, configuration, recording, event review and remote management.
Which UniFi devices can run Protect for this camera?
Compatible options can include supported UniFi Cloud Gateways, CloudKey consoles, Dream Machines, Dream Routers and UniFi network video recorders that run the required Protect version. Capacity depends on the console, storage, number of cameras and recording settings.
Does UniFi Protect require a monthly cloud-recording subscription?
UniFi Protect is designed around compatible local recording hardware, so a mandatory third-party cloud-recording subscription is generally not required for standard operation. Users must provide compatible Protect hardware and sufficient local storage.
