Screw Anchors (Qty. 2)   Self-Tapping Screws (Qty. 2)  Machine Screws (Qty. 2)

Installation Requirements

• Pole-mounting: Two metal straps (not included)

• Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling with drain wire should be used for all outdoor wired Ethernet connections and should be grounded through the AC ground of the PoE.
  We recommend that you protect your networks from harmful outdoor environments and destructive ESD events with industrial-grade, shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti. For more details, visit ui.com/toughcable

• Surge protection should be used for all outdoor installations. We recommend that you use two Ethernet Surge Protectors, model ETH-SP, one near the camera and the other at the entry point to the building. The ETH-SP will absorb power surges and safely discharge them into the ground.

1. Hardware Installation
2. Connecting Power over Ethernet
3. UniFi Protect
4. Adjusting the Camera View

Hardware Installation

The camera can be mounted on a wall, ceiling, or pole. Follow the appropriate steps for your installation:

Wall/Ceiling Mount

1. Remove the Mounting Base from the camera by turning the Tilt/Mount Ring counterclockwise.

2. Mark the mounting holes on the wall or ceiling.

Note: If you are running the cable along the wall or ceiling, position the Cable Slot towards the direction you want the cabling to run. For outdoor installations, position the Cable Slot downward.

3. Use a 7 mm (¼”) drill bit to drill the mounting holes in the wall or ceiling.

Note: If you are running the Ethernet cable through the wall, cut a hole centered between the mounting holes that is large enough to feed the cable through.

4. Insert a Screw Anchor into each mounting hole.

5. If you are feeding the Ethernet cable through the wall or ceiling, do so now and feed it through the Mounting Base.

If not, feed the Ethernet cable through the Mounting Base and place the cable in the Cable Slot.

IMPORTANT: If you are installing your camera outdoors, create a drip loop for the cable below the camera to prevent water ingress.

6. Fasten the Mounting Base to the wall or ceiling using two Self-Tapping Screws.

7. Remove the camera from the Adjustable Base by turning the Camera Ring in the direction shown.

8. Remove the Cable Gland from the Adjustable Base.

9. Feed the Ethernet cable through the Cable Gland and Adjustable Base. Seal the Cable Gland in place by firmly pressing around its edges. Then connect the cable to the Ethernet Port on the camera.

IMPORTANT: For proper weather sealing, the Cable Gland must fit securely within the Adjustable Base when the camera is mounted. Ensure that the Cable Gland is securely seated during installation and cable routing.

10. Connect the camera back to the Adjustable Base by turning the Camera Ring in the direction shown.

11. Orient the camera to the desired position while connecting the Adjustable Base to the Mounting Base.

Note: You will fine-tune and then lock the positioning after you check the camera view in the UniFi Protect software.

12. Proceed to the Connecting Power over Ethernet section.

Pole Mount

To mount the camera on a pole, use two metal straps (not included).

1. Feed the metal straps through the slots on the Pole Mount Bracket.

2. Wrap a metal strap around the pole and tighten it by turning the screw clockwise. Repeat for the second strap.

3. Remove the Mounting Base from the camera by turning the Tilt/Mount Ring counterclockwise.

4. Feed the Ethernet cable through the Mounting Base.

5. Fasten the Mounting Base to the Pole Mount Bracket using two Machine Screws.

6. Remove the camera from the Adjustable Base by turning the Camera Ring in the direction shown.

7. Remove the Cable Gland from the Adjustable Base.

8. Feed the Ethernet cable through the Cable Gland and Adjustable Base. Seal the Cable Gland in place by firmly pressing around its edges. Then connect the cable to the Ethernet Port on the camera.

IMPORTANT: For proper weather sealing, the Cable Gland must fit securely within the Adjustable Base when the camera is mounted. Ensure that the Cable Gland is securely seated during installation and cable routing.

9. Connect the camera back to the Adjustable Base by turning the Camera Ring in the direction shown.

10. Orient the camera to the desired position while connecting the Adjustable Base to the Mounting Base.

Note: Fine-tune and then lock the positioning after you check the camera view in the UniFi Protect software.

Connecting Power over Ethernet

The UVC G4 Pro supports 802.3af and 802.3at, and can be powered by any 802.3af/802.3at compliant switch, such as a UniFi PoE Switch.

Connect the Ethernet cable from the camera directly to a PoE port on the switch.

UniFi Protect

The UniFi Protect auto-management feature should automatically detect your new camera(s). To manage the camera:

1. Log in to UniFi Protect. Enter the username and password credentials used to set up the system and click Submit.

2. Click Add Cameras.

Note: The green number icon on the Add Cameras button will display the number of cameras UniFi Protect has automatically detected.

3. Select the camera you would like to manage. You can rename the camera by typing into the box displaying the device. Click Add Selected Cameras.

4. The camera will appear on the Devices tab. The Camera Details window will be displayed on the right side of the screen. Check the camera view and proceed to the Adjusting the Camera View section.
