Installation Requirements
• Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling should be used for
all 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
Networks. For more details, visit: www.ubnt.com/toughcable
TERMS OF USE: All Ethernet cabling runs must use CAT5 (or above). Shielded Ethernet
cable and earth grounding must be used for outdoor installations as conditions of product
warranty. TOUGHCable™ is designed for outdoor installations. It is the professional installer’s
responsibility to follow local country regulations.

Hardware Installation
The UniFi Video Camera G3 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 Lock 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. These instructions
show the Cable Slot positioned downward.
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. 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.
Cable Gland
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: You will fine-tune and then lock the positioning
after you check the camera view in the UniFi Video
software .
11. Proceed to the Connecting Power over Ethernet section.
Pole Mount
To mount the UniFi Video Camera G3 on a pole, a metal strap
or hose clamp is required (not included).
1. Feed the metal strap through the slots on the Pole Mount
Bracket.

2. Wrap the metal strap around the pole and tighten the strap
by turning the screw clockwise.
3. Remove the Mounting Base from the camera by turning the
Tilt/Mount Lock 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. 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.
Cable Gland
