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.

Installation Overview
To install the camera, please follow the instructions of the
following sections in this order:
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.

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.
