Overview
The Ubiquiti UVC-AI-Theta is a discreet UniFi Protect security camera system built around a remote processing hub and compact interchangeable camera lens. It provides 4K video, AI-powered detections, face recognition, and license plate recognition while allowing the camera lens to be installed separately from the processing hub.
AI Video Security
AI Theta supports smart detections for people, vehicles, and animals, along with face recognition and license plate recognition. License plate recognition is supported when using the compatible Long-Distance or Wide-Angle lenses.
Camera and Lens Options
The standard AI Theta system supports the UVC-AI-Theta-Lens and UVC-AI-Theta-Lens-360. The standard lens provides 8MP 3264 × 2448 video at up to 24 FPS with a 97.5° horizontal field of view. The 360° lens uses a 12MP sensor and provides 6MP 2560 × 2560 video at up to 20 FPS for panoramic coverage.
Remote Processing Hub
The AI Theta Hub houses the processing hardware and provides the network connection through a Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port. The hub uses PoE for power and includes dedicated ports for the Theta lens and optional Theta Audio module.
Installation
The AI Theta lens supports wall, ceiling, and flush mounting, with the standard flush mount included. An optional angle mount is available separately. The hub itself supports wall or ceiling mounting.
Key Features
- 4K AI security camera system with discreet lens design
- Smart detections for people, vehicles, and animals
- Face recognition and supported license plate recognition
- Interchangeable standard and 360° AI Theta lens options
- Gigabit Ethernet and PoE-powered AI Theta Hub
Applications
The UVC-AI-Theta is designed for discreet UniFi Protect surveillance where the visible camera footprint needs to remain compact. Its interchangeable lens architecture allows deployments to be configured for standard wide-area viewing or 360° panoramic coverage.
DC Supplies Product Note
The UVC-AI-Theta is a complete AI Theta system rather than the AI Theta Hub alone or an individual lens. The system uses the AI Theta Hub together with a compatible AI Theta camera lens, while AI Theta Audio is an optional module for two-way audio.
