Introducing Our New YouTube Video - G5 PTZ Camera Review!
I'm excited to share our in-depth review of the latest G5 PTZ camera from Unifi! Building on the success of the G4 PTZ, the G5 offers numerous upgrades and new features. In this video, we dive into its performance, design, and unique capabilities, comparing it with its predecessor to see how it stands out. Whether you're considering an upgrade or a new purchase, this review will provide all the insights you need.
Unveiling the G5 PTZ
In this new video, we take a comprehensive look at the G5 PTZ camera. Having just received the prerelease images, I was eagerly anticipating this moment, and today, I finally got my hands on it. Unifi graciously provided all the new mounting brackets, so we’ll walk through each one, show you the ones we’re most excited about, mount the camera on the wall, and conduct a full test.
First Impressions and Specs
One of the first things you'll notice about the G5 PTZ is its smaller size compared to the G4 PTZ, which has now been aptly renamed the G4 PTZ Industrial. This new camera features a smaller sensor and comes at a significantly lower price point of $299. With a 2x optical zoom (compared to the G4’s 22x), it's tailored more for general use rather than industrial applications.
Versatile Mounting Options
Unifi has really upped their game with the new mounting options for the G5 PTZ. Alongside the standard wall/pole mount, they’ve introduced:
- In-ceiling Mount
- Surface Mount
- Pendant Mount
- Corner Mount
- Conduit Adapter Mount
Each of these mounts offers unique advantages for different installation scenarios, and in the video, Sean gives a detailed unboxing and demonstration of each one.
Camera Testing and Performance
Once mounted, we jump into the software to explore the camera's performance. The image quality is impressive, comparable to the G5 Ultra Turret, and the new preset feature allows for easy navigation and control. The corner mount, in particular, offers a fantastic 270-degree view, making it ideal for monitoring large areas.
Advanced Features
The G5 PTZ comes with several advanced features, including person and vehicle tracking, color night vision with built-in LEDs, and comprehensive image tuning options. While this quick turnaround review doesn't cover night-time performance, stay tuned for a follow-up video where we'll test the camera in various lighting conditions.
Conclusion
I'm genuinely excited about the potential of the G5 PTZ camera. Its combination of affordability, advanced features, and versatile mounting options make it a strong contender for both indoor and outdoor surveillance needs.
