A New Wide-Angle Camera Redefines Coverage, Clarity & Detection

UniFi has officially unveiled one of its most anticipated security innovations yet: the G6 180, a panoramic 4K camera engineered to deliver expansive coverage with remarkable detail and intelligence. As industry watchers predicted, UniFi has confidently stepped into the ultra-wide surveillance category by introducing a camera that elevates residential and commercial security without overwhelming the space with excessive hardware.

For those who rely on Avidia to create refined, discreet, and high-performance surveillance systems, this release marks a meaningful shift in how broad-area security can be designed. Learn more about it below.

Discover a New Class of Ultra-Wide Surveillance

The G6 180 stands out with its 134.1° diagonal field of view, which offers broad situational awareness from a single vantage point. In many luxury environments—such as large driveways, pool decks, long approach lanes, and landscaped paths—achieving full visibility traditionally required multiple cameras.

This new UniFi release solves that challenge with a single, beautifully engineered device. By capturing more of the scene at once, it reduces blind spots and enables a cleaner, more intentional installation that remains aesthetically pleasing. 

4K Resolution with Modern Image Intelligence

UniFi didn't simply widen the view; they sharpened it. The G6 180 features an 8MP 4K sensor, advanced HDR capabilities, and detailed image adjustments, including contrast, exposure, sharpness, motion-optimized noise reduction, and customizable masking.

The result is a consistently clear, highly detailed image across the entire frame, even at the far edges—a common weakness in traditional wide-angle cameras. For high-end properties where activity can occur across large, open spaces, that clarity is essential. 

Next-Generation Smart Detection

One of the most noteworthy aspects of this launch is the camera's built-in intelligence. The G6 180 introduces:

  • Face Recognition
  • License Plate Recognition
  • People / Vehicle / Animal Detection

These capabilities enable vastly more accurate alerts and a more intuitive understanding of what's happening on the property. Instead of generic motion notifications, users gain meaningful insights tailored to real activity.

If you're managing multiple estates or are frequently away from home, these smart features offer an elevated level of confidence and convenience. 

Engineered for Day & Night Performance

The G6 180 features IR night vision up to 30 meters (98 feet), allowing for more dependable clarity after dark. Its IR cut filter and optimized low-light processing maintain image sharpness without graininess. This is a critical differentiator for wide-area nighttime monitoring. Regardless of the hour or lighting conditions, the camera retains visibility across the entire panorama.

A Durable, Refined, Professional Build

UniFi designed this camera with the realities of all-season environments in mind. The G6 180 features:

  • IP66 weatherproofing for rain, snow, and humidity
  • IK04 tamper resistance for exposed installations
  • Aluminum alloy and polycarbonate enclosure that maintains a refined, unobtrusive appearance
  • Optional accessories for gang boxes, flush mounts, weather shields, and dual mounting

This durability, paired with thoughtful mounting options, lets the Avidia team integrate the camera smoothly into both modern and traditional architecture.

Why This Release Matters

UniFi's G6 180 introduces a rare blend of wide coverage, sharp 4K clarity, and intelligent detection, all packaged in a discreet form factor that suits luxury spaces. For Avidia, it opens up new opportunities in system design, including fewer cameras, cleaner lines, more intelligent alerts, and more comprehensive visibility of any property.
