Overview
The Ubiquiti UVC-AI-THETA-LENS is the standard wide-angle lens for the UniFi AI Theta camera system. It connects to an AI Theta Hub using the proprietary Theta connection and provides 4K video capture from a compact lens module designed for discreet indoor surveillance installations.
The lens uses an 8MP CMOS sensor and a fixed focal-length optical system. It provides a 97.5° horizontal, 79.4° vertical, and 118.2° diagonal field of view, making it the standard wide-angle option in the AI Theta lens system.
Video and Optics
The AI Theta Lens captures video at up to 24 frames per second with an 8MP resolution of 3264 x 2448 in a 4:3 aspect ratio. Supported image controls include color, brightness, sharpness, contrast, white balance, exposure control, 2D noise reduction, 3D noise reduction, motion-based noise reduction, masking, and text overlay.
The fixed focal-length lens provides a 97.5° horizontal, 79.4° vertical, and 118.2° diagonal field of view. This distinguishes the UVC-AI-THETA-LENS from the separate AI Theta 360 Lens and AI Theta Long-Distance Lens.
AI Theta System Integration
The UVC-AI-THETA-LENS is a lens module rather than a standalone network camera. It is designed to connect to an AI Theta Hub, which provides the system's network interface, processing, and management functionality. Ubiquiti manages the AI Theta system through UniFi Protect.
The lens uses a proprietary Theta power and connection method, with a specified power supply of 5V DC at 0.5A and maximum power consumption of 2.5W for the lens module.
Mounting and Deployment
The AI Theta Lens supports wall and ceiling mounting, with the ceiling mount included. An optional angle mount is available separately for installations requiring an angled mounting position.
The lens is specified for indoor-only operation. Its operating temperature range is -20°C to 40°C (−4°F to 104°F), with an operating humidity range of 10% to 90% non-condensing.
Key Features
- 4K video with an 8MP CMOS image sensor
- 97.5° horizontal, 79.4° vertical, and 118.2° diagonal field of view
- Up to 24 FPS at 3264 x 2448 resolution
- Compact lens module measuring 22.8 x 43.5 mm
- Designed to connect to an AI Theta Hub for UniFi Protect deployment
Applications
The UVC-AI-THETA-LENS is intended for indoor AI Theta deployments where a compact, wide-angle camera lens is required. Its small form factor supports discreet installations on walls or ceilings while the wide field of view provides coverage across a broad area.
DC Supplies Product Note
The UVC-AI-THETA-LENS is not a standalone PoE network camera. It is a component of the AI Theta system and connects to an AI Theta Hub through the proprietary Theta interface. The Hub provides the system-level network connectivity and PoE interface, while this lens has its own specified 5V DC, 0.5A power requirement.
