Ubiquiti UVC-AI-DSLR-LD AI DSLR Long-Distance 4K PoE Camera
Overview
The Ubiquiti UVC-AI-DSLR-LD is an indoor/outdoor 4K PoE+ security camera designed around a 4/3-inch 10MP CMOS sensor and a M. Zuiko Digital ED 45 mm f/1.2 PRO lens. The LD, or Long-Distance, configuration provides a narrower telephoto field of view than the standard AI DSLR model.
The camera records 8MP video at 3840 × 2160 resolution with a maximum frame rate of 30 FPS. It is designed for UniFi Protect deployments and supports smart detections for people, vehicles, and animals, together with face recognition and license plate recognition.
Imaging and Optics
The UVC-AI-DSLR-LD uses a 4/3-inch 10MP CMOS sensor paired with the M. Zuiko Digital ED 45 mm f/1.2 PRO lens. The telephoto optical configuration provides a 21.6° horizontal, 16.2° vertical, and 27° diagonal field of view.
The f/1.2 lens and high-sensitivity sensor are designed for detailed imaging in low-light environments. Ubiquiti's specifications also provide image controls for color, brightness, sharpness, contrast, white balance, exposure, noise reduction, masking, and text overlay.
Video and AI Capabilities
The camera supports 8MP 3840 × 2160 video in a 16:9 aspect ratio at up to 30 FPS. UniFi Protect provides smart detections for people, vehicles, and animals, while face recognition and license plate recognition provide additional AI-based identification capabilities.
Networking and Power
The camera provides a Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 interface and uses PoE+ for network connectivity and power. Ubiquiti specifies a supported voltage range of 37–57V DC and maximum power consumption of 17.77W with the lens operating.
Audio and Outdoor Deployment
The UVC-AI-DSLR-LD supports two-way audio. When the outdoor case is installed, however, the two-way audio function is not available. The outdoor case provides IPX5 weatherproofing for outdoor deployment.
Mounting
The camera supports wall and pole mounting. A pole mount is included and supports poles with a diameter of 1.5–2 inches (38–50 mm). A tripod mount is available as an optional mounting method.
Key Features
- 4K 8MP video at 3840 × 2160 resolution and up to 30 FPS
- 4/3-inch 10MP CMOS sensor with M. Zuiko Digital ED 45 mm f/1.2 PRO lens
- Telephoto field of view measuring 21.6° horizontal, 16.2° vertical, and 27° diagonal
- UniFi Protect smart detections for people, vehicles, and animals with face and license plate recognition
- Gigabit Ethernet connectivity with PoE+ power
Applications
The long-distance optical configuration makes the UVC-AI-DSLR-LD suitable for surveillance locations where a narrower field of view is required. Its telephoto lens can be considered for defined surveillance zones such as entrances, vehicle areas, property boundaries, and other locations where focused coverage is preferred over wide-area viewing.
DC Supplies Product Note
The UVC-AI-DSLR-LD should be distinguished from the standard UVC-AI-DSLR because the LD model uses the 45 mm f/1.2 PRO telephoto lens rather than the 17 mm lens. Its 21.6° horizontal field of view makes camera positioning particularly important when determining the area that will be captured.
