Collection: UniFi PTZ Cameras

Cover more ground with fewer cameras and zoom in on every detail

UniFi PTZ Security Cameras for Wide-Area Coverage

A pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera gives you the reach of several cameras from a single mounting point. It can sweep across a car park, zoom in on a number plate and follow a person through the scene on its own. UniFi PTZ security cameras combine that motorised flexibility with built-in AI and up to 4K resolution. You can watch large areas without losing the detail you need to identify who, or what, was there.

The range runs from a compact 2K camera for homes and shopfronts to industrial-grade 4K models with up to 31x optical zoom for large facilities and perimeters. Every model adopts into UniFi Protect, where live view, recording, PTZ control and alerts sit alongside the rest of your UniFi system.

Find the Right PTZ Camera for Your Site

G5 PTZ: compact and capable. The G5 PTZ is the most accessible entry point to the range. It records in 2K, offers 2x optical zoom and automatically follows the people it detects. An integrated LED spotlight adds colour night vision alongside 20 m of IR. A choice of optional mounts makes it easy to place on homes, shopfronts and small car parks.

G6 PTZ: the 4K all-rounder. It has two 1/1.8" 8MP sensors, one behind a wide lens and one behind a telephoto lens. Together they deliver 4K video with 10x hybrid zoom, pairing a broad view with close-up detail. Its Multi-TOPS AI engine powers face recognition, number plate recognition (LPR) and person auto-tracking with Smart Zoom, which adjusts magnification to keep subjects sharp. Two-way audio, 30 m IR night vision and a microSD slot for on-camera storage make it a strong fit for businesses, schools and larger properties.

AI PTZ Industrial: long range, built tough. An industrial-grade enclosure houses a 4K sensor and 22x optical zoom, with endless 360° pan and 120° tilt. Adaptive IR reaches 100 m in darkness, and the camera is rated to operate from -40 to 50°C. It adds face and number plate recognition, automatic person tracking and single-cable PoE++. That makes it a natural choice for car parks, warehouses, construction sites and long perimeters.

AI PTZ Precision: maximum reach, instant focus. The flagship of the range pairs 31x optical zoom with built-in LiDAR for ultra-fast autofocus. Operators can jump between distant targets without waiting for the image to sharpen. Its adaptive IR adjusts to the current zoom level to light scenes up to 100 m away, and it works with Alarm Manager for coordinated responses. The AI PTZ Precision is designed for large facilities and perimeter protection and is available through the UniFi Partner Program.

AI That Follows the Action

Every UniFi PTZ camera uses AI to detect people, vehicles and animals, so alerts centre on meaningful activity rather than every flicker of motion. When a person enters the scene, automatic tracking pans, tilts and zooms to keep them in frame. The G6 PTZ and both AI PTZ models add face recognition and number plate recognition, making it faster to find a specific person or vehicle in recorded footage. Set preset positions and patrols in UniFi Protect to sweep key areas automatically, or take over with ultra-low-latency manual control whenever you need to.

Clear Video, Day or Night

Large 1/1.8" 8MP sensors give the G6 PTZ and AI PTZ models crisp 4K video. IR night vision ranges from 20 m on the G5 PTZ to 100 m on the AI PTZ cameras. For colour footage after dark, the G5 PTZ’s built-in LED spotlight lights up the scene.

Built for the Outdoors, Simple to Install

Every camera in the collection carries an IP66 weatherproof rating, and the G5 and G6 PTZ add IK04-rated tamper resistance. One Ethernet cable delivers both power and data: PoE+ for the G5 and G6 PTZ, PoE++ for the AI PTZ models. Wall, pole, corner, pendant and in-ceiling mounting options cover most installations. Each model comes in black or white to suit its surroundings, and the full range is NDAA-compliant.

Better Together with UniFi Protect

UniFi PTZ cameras adopt directly into UniFi Protect on a UniFi Cloud Gateway or NVR. You get one place to watch live feeds, steer the camera, review footage and manage alerts. For the strongest coverage, pair a PTZ with fixed bullet or dome cameras. The fixed cameras keep constant watch over key areas while the PTZ moves in to follow activity and capture detail.

PTZ Camera FAQs

What is a PTZ camera?
A PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) camera has motors that rotate it side to side (pan), angle it up and down (tilt) and magnify distant subjects (zoom). One camera can cover a wide area and still capture fine detail.

Do UniFi PTZ cameras track people automatically?
Yes. Every model in this collection can detect a person and automatically pan, tilt and zoom to keep them in frame as they move.

How far can UniFi PTZ cameras see at night?
IR night vision reaches 20 m on the G5 PTZ, 30 m on the G6 PTZ and 100 m on the AI PTZ Industrial and AI PTZ Precision.

What do I need to run a UniFi PTZ camera?
You need a UniFi console running UniFi Protect, such as a Cloud Gateway or NVR, plus a PoE source. The G5 PTZ and G6 PTZ need PoE+; the AI PTZ Industrial and AI PTZ Precision need PoE++.
