Professional Ubiquiti Camera Installer for Large Commercial Spaces in San Diego & North County
Overview
We recently completed a major security camera installation in a 77,000 square foot commercial/warehouse space. As a professional camera installer specializing in Ubiquiti devices, our objective was to provide full coverage of the facility: all entrances and exits, storage areas, racks, loading docks, and critical interior zones. The result: a robust, scalable, high-definition surveillance system built for continuous 24/7 operation—without compromise
The System Design & Key Components
Here are the main building blocks of the security deployment:
PTZ Camera | Ubiquiti AI-PTZ Industrial | High-zoom coverage for large zones; used for gates/exterior when needing zoom & tracking. |
Bullet Cameras | Ubiquiti G6 Pro Bullet | Long-range coverage, especially outdoors and racks. |
Dome Cameras | Ubiquiti G6 Dome | Discreet ceiling- or wall-mounted surveillance inside, wide field of view. |
Turret Cameras | Ubiquiti G6 Turret | Flexible angles, often mounted on walls inside aisles, when glare or ceiling placement needed alternatives. |
Setup & Installation Highlights
All cameras' line-of-sight leads back to the server room via structured cabling and a patch panel.
Power and network delivered over a high-capacity Ubiquiti 24-port PoE++ switch, capable of up to 700 watts. This supports high-power draw devices like PTZs and ensures consistent power & network throughput.
All video is recorded and managed by an Enterprise NVR outfitted with nine 24-terabyte hard drives. This gives us storage sufficient to keep 70 4K cameras recording 24-7 for multiple months before overwriting old footage.
Mounting & Coverage Strategies
In the warehouse/storage/rack areas: many cameras were dropped down ≈ 6 feet from the ceiling. This positioning provided enough distance to cover full rack height and aisle width, while avoiding obstructions.
Wall, pole, or ceiling mounts were used as applicable; poles and rafters/struts were used in the warehouse ceiling to anchor the camera poles. This ensures safety, stability, and correct alignment.
Key Ubiquiti Device Specifications
To help you understand what each Ubiquiti model brings to the table, here are some specs:
Ubiquiti AI-PTZ Industrial (UVC-AI-PTZ)
Resolution: 4K (8MP) Tech Specs
Optical Zoom: 22× zoom WAV Online
Night Vision (IR): up to 100 meters (≈ 328 ft) WAV Online
Field of View: wide mode/telephoto mode ranges (wide ≈ H: 59.8°, etc.) Tech Specs
Pan/Tilt Range: 360° continuous pan, tilt up to ~120° Tech Specs
Power Method: PoE++ (high wattage) with a maximum power consumption of ~51W Tech Specs
Weatherproofing: IP66 Tech Specs
Ubiquiti G6 Pro Bullet
Resolution: 4K (8MP) Tech Specs
Optical Zoom: 2.36× optical zoom Tech Specs
Night Vision: IR up to ~40 m standard, up to ~60 m with “Vision Enhancer” settings Tech Specs
Field of View: Wide and telephoto FOVs; wide ≈ H:113.8°, V:61.9° etc. Tech Specs
Power / Interface: PoE+; GbE RJ45 port; supported voltage range ~37-57 V DC Tech Specs
Ubiquiti G6 Dome & G6 Turret
These models share many features with the Bullet line in terms of sensor size (1/1.8" 8MP), AI detection (people, vehicles, etc.), IP66 weather rating, etc. (We used them for interior zones, to reduce glare, provide wide angles, and protect from tampering or physical interference.)
Results: What Was Achieved
Full coverage of all entrances/exits, rack aisles, storage zones, and critical points of entry.
High resolution (4K) video that enables ID-level detail, even at distance.
Reliable continuous recording with massive storage capacity, so that the client can retain historical video for months.
Robust infrastructure (PoE++ switch + properly sized wires + server/NVR) to support high-power devices and minimize performance issues.
Fail-safe mounting: secure poles/rafters/struts to avoid vibrations, shifting, or misalignment.
Why Choose a Professional Ubiquiti Devices Installer in San Diego
When you hire a camera installer or Ubiquiti Devices Installer San Diego, you get much more than just hardware. Here's what you gain:
Correct camera placement & selection (choosing between PTZ, bullet, dome, turret) to match the environment.
Proper power budgeting (as in this project, using a 700-watt PoE++ switch) so that high-draw devices (PTZ, IR LEDs) remain stable.
Structured cabling and network design so video latency, packet loss, and data integrity are optimized.
Sizing of storage and configuration of NVR so that footage is stored reliably and for the required retention period.
Mounting in a way that is safe, secure, and durable.
Conclusion
This 77,000 sq ft commercial project showcases what you can achieve with a thoughtfully designed Ubiquiti camera installation. High-quality components (AI-PTZ, G6 Pro Bullet, G6 Dome, G6 Turret), a well-sized power and data backbone (PoE++ switch, patch panels, enterprise NVR), and careful mounting and placement together deliver a system that functions reliably, with clear high-definition video, long-term storage, and full coverage.
