Score: 83/100Rankings
The Ubiquiti G5 Turret Ultra is a 4MP PoE outdoor camera with a 102.4° horizontal FOV, 30 m night vision, and robust IP66/IK04 protection. It does not offer pan/tilt movement, local storage, or Wi-Fi, and works only within the UniFi Protect system. Perfect for installations that prioritize high-resolution video and PoE simplicity.
The Foscam PD5 is a 5MP outdoor PTZ camera delivering 20X digital zoom, full-color night vision up to 20 m and AI human/vehicle detection with auto-tracking. It requires continuous mains power and its digital zoom can degrade image quality at maximum magnification. Best suited for outdoor surveillance where wide coverage and smart tracking are priorities.

Professional reviewers describe the PD5 as a versatile, high-resolution PTZ camera that stands out for its 360° coverage, AI-driven human/vehicle detection and full-color night vision. They highlight the auto-tracking, dual-band Wi-Fi 6 and robust build quality as major strengths, while noting the digital-only zoom and limited transparency around cloud privacy as drawbacks.
Everyday users consistently praise the camera's sharp daytime images, vivid color night vision, sturdy metal construction and straightforward Wi-Fi setup. Common themes include appreciation for the 2-way audio and auto-tracking, while concerns focus on microSD compatibility, lack of battery backup and unclear cloud-privacy details.
