UniFi Protect G6 Edge Cameras: 4K, Edge AI and Zero-Touch Setup
The new UniFi Protect G6 Edge series brings large 1/1.2-inch sensors, on-camera AI and direct cloud onboarding across dome, turret and bullet form factors.
Ubiquiti's G6 Edge series is the most significant Protect camera refresh in years. The headline is intelligence at the edge: each camera converts raw video into useful detections on the device itself, then streams the results — no manual provisioning required.
What's new in the G6 Edge line
- License-free cloud camera system with zero-touch deployment
- Three form factors: dome, turret and bullet
- Large 1/1.2-inch image sensors with 2.36× varifocal optics
- Bullet variants integrate radar and advanced infrared
- Built-in edge AI: object detection, tracking and semantic search
- Compatible with UniFi NVRs for centralised recording
- Integrates with the new Site Manager Fabrics architecture
Ubiquiti's framing: "No manual setup or provisioning required — Direct Connect to Site Manager upon power-up," with "edge AI [that] converts raw video into actionable intelligence at the source."

No. UniFi Protect is license-free — you buy the cameras and a recorder (or a gateway with Protect built in) and that's it.
Yes. They join the same Protect application as your existing cameras and record to your existing UNVR or Protect-capable gateway.
A bullet with radar and long-range IR is the natural fit for perimeter and vehicle areas; domes and turrets suit entries and indoor spaces. Ask us for a site-specific recommendation.
