About the Grundig Security GU-CI-AP5647P
The Grundig Security GU-CI-AP5647P is a motorized PTZ chassis ideal for large open spaces — parking lots, stadiums, airports, and city surveillance. At 5-to-6MP the sensor sits between 1080p economy and 4K forensic detail: enough pixels-per-metre for evidence-grade faces at typical entrance and driveway distances, while keeping recording bitrate materially lighter than an 8MP camera. There is no built-in IR illuminator on this model, so it depends entirely on ambient light. In dark environments, pair it with external IR floods or white-light illuminators. A standard 50–80° horizontal FOV mimics how a person sees a scene and works well for general-purpose monitoring of rooms, parking spaces, and perimeter walls without distortion.
Best use cases for this camera
Large area patrol & target tracking
PTZ control enables operator-initiated tracking of suspicious activity, scheduled tours of preset positions overnight, and forensic zoom into recorded footage. Best paired with a wide-angle "overview" camera that triggers the PTZ via analytics.
Strengths
- •5MP sensor preserves detail under digital zoom on recorded footage
- •PTZ control enables operator-driven tracking and pre-set tours
Considerations
- •No built-in IR — requires external illumination for night use
- •PTZ cameras only see one direction at a time — pair with a fixed overview camera to avoid blind spots

Field of View Visualization
Night Vision Performance
Daytime
Full 5.0MP (2592×1944) resolution at 55° field of view. Effective identification range up to 11m in good lighting conditions.
Nighttime (IR)
Built-in IR LEDs illuminate up to 0m in complete darkness. Switches to B/W mode for clear night footage.
Installation tips for the GU-CI-AP5647P
Mount above 4 m on a rigid pole or wall bracket — PTZ vibrations are amplified at low mounting heights and degrade image quality during pan operations.
Plan storage at roughly 20 GB per camera per day for continuous H.265 recording at 15fps — verify NVR has sufficient HDD bay capacity.
Coverage geometry & DORI distances
At a 5-metre standoff the Grundig Security GU-CI-AP5647P covers about 5.2 m of scene width; at 10 m that grows to 10.4 m, and at 20 m to 20.8 m. Translating those numbers through EN 62676-4 pixel-density thresholds, the camera can detect a person up to 100 m, observe up to 40 m, recognise up to 20 m, and produce identification-grade detail (the ≥250 px/m bar used by Polish and EU courts as evidentiary) up to 10 m. Effective range above the identify threshold relies on supplementary lighting or a longer-focal-length optic — the geometry above assumes the 4.3-142mm lens declared by the manufacturer.
Power & cabling
The Grundig Security GU-CI-AP5647P draws an estimated 30.0 W under typical load (with the IR illuminator engaged where applicable), placing it in the 802.3at (Class 4, ≤30 W) budget. A single switch port supplies enough power without an injector. Cabling: stick to Cat6 STP for runs up to 100 m end-to-end — beyond that, add an inline PoE extender or move to fibre with a media converter at the camera end. On outdoor runs, route through ø25 PVC or PE conduit to keep the cable shielded from UV and rodents.
Privacy & legal (GDPR / RODO)
Any camera operating in a publicly accessible area falls under GDPR (RODO in Poland) — Art. 13 obliges the data controller to post an information sign at every entry point with controller name, DPO contact, lawful basis (typically Art. 6(1)(f) legitimate interest for property protection), purpose, and retention period. The Grundig Security GU-CI-AP5647P's PTZ pan range can sweep into neighbouring properties or public roads; document allowed pan limits in the installation record and configure privacy masks (see Grundig Security's web-UI under "Privacy Mask") for any window or doorway you cannot legally surveil.
Installer time & cost (rough estimate)
A typical EU installer quotes 5–6 h of labour per ptz camera of this class (approximately €225–€275 excluding hardware), broken down as bracket mounting, cable termination at both ends, on-site commissioning, and a brief operator handover. Allow extra time for high mounts (>4 m), exterior installations requiring scaffolding, or sites where cable routing demands wall penetrations or conduit work.
Indicative EU 2024-2025 pricing — actual quotes vary by region, mounting height, and site conditions. Excludes hardware, transport, permits, and VAT.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Grundig Security GU-CI-AP5647P suitable for outdoor installation?
Grundig Security PTZ models are generally designed for outdoor use with IP66 ingress rating and -30°C to +60°C operating range. Mount on a rigid pole at ≥ 4 m to dampen wind-driven vibration that would degrade the live image during pan operations.
What PoE class powers the Grundig Security GU-CI-AP5647P?
The camera draws roughly 30.0 W in steady-state operation, requiring a 802.3at (Class 4, ≤30 W) switch port. A single Cat6 STP cable carries both data and power up to 100 m — beyond that, add an inline extender or convert to fibre near the camera.
How much storage does the Grundig Security GU-CI-AP5647P consume per day?
At 5.0MP (2592×1944) resolution, 15 fps H.265 continuous recording, the GU-CI-AP5647P produces approximately 20 GB per day — about 600 GB per month. Motion-only or event-triggered recording typically cuts that by 40–70 % depending on scene activity. Plan NVR HDD capacity for the longest retention period required by your privacy policy or insurance contract.
Up to what distance can the Grundig Security GU-CI-AP5647P identify a person?
Per EN 62676-4:2025 pixel-density thresholds, this camera identifies (≥ 250 px/m on the target) up to about 10 m, recognises a person up to 20 m, observes general activity up to 40 m, and detects motion up to 100 m. Identification distance assumes daylight or full IR illumination on the target — at the limits of the IR cone the effective identify distance shrinks roughly 30 %.
What network bandwidth does Grundig Security GU-CI-AP5647P use?
Typical ingest is 8 Mbps for the main stream (H.265, medium scene complexity, 15 fps) plus ~0.5 Mbps for a low-resolution sub-stream used by mobile clients. For a 16-camera installation of this class, plan a 50–100 Mbps NVR uplink and a dedicated VLAN for camera traffic.
