Improve your night vision on your Unifi G3-Bullet video camera with up to 25m by simply attaching Ubiquiti’s latest LED Ring (UVC-G3-LED) to the front of the camera!
How does it work?
The LED Ring houses six high-intensity infrared LEDs for extended night vision range. It is powered and controlled by the UVC-G3 bullet camera via a connector.
WARNING: Do not connect any device to the accessory port on the UVC-G3. Damage to the device may occur. The accessory port is designed for use with the UVC-G3-LED accessory only.
How easy is it to deploy?
There are two phases to the installation process: attaching it to the camera and configuring it via the Ubiquiti GUI interface.
Hardware Installation
- Pull out the sun visor and remove it. Then remove the accessory port cover located on the bottom of the UVC-G3.
- Orient the UVC-G3-LED with the Accessory Connector at the bottom. Place the LED Ring over the front of the UVC-G3 in place of the sun visor. Insert the LED Ring until it locks into place.
- Insert the Accessory Connector into the accessory port until it locks into place.
- Tighten the two screws located at the bottom of the LED Ring to secure it.
Important: Do not over-tighten the two screws. Excessive torque may damage the LED Ring and/or the UVC-G3.
Enabling the External IR LEDs
The UVC-G3-LED may be enabled using UniFi Video or directly through the camera UI. Once enabled, the UVC-G3-LED will automatically turn on under low light conditions.
