#UBIQUITI IP CAMERA HOW TO#

Unifi Protect only works with Unifi Cameras. With Smart Detection enabled you can configure it to only receive alerts based on the smart detections.Īlso all the detections are nicely listed on the dashboard and in the events overview. You will need a G4 camera from Unifi to use it. Smart Detection allows cameras to recognize familiar objects, in this case persons and vehicles. Fine-tuning the motion detection takes a lot of time. You will get a lot of false positives, due to light reflections or shadows for example. Motion detections are always hard to get write. What I really like is that Protect is completely subscription-free, even for the motion-alerts or the cloud access is no subscription needed. You can choose between a wide variety of cameras, which you can all install with PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) and get it up and running in a couple of minutes.Īll the recordings are stored locally but can be viewed from anywhere in the world through the Unifi Protect App.

Unifi Protect does a great job of finding the perfect balance between flexibility and ease-of-use. This Unifi Protect Review is updated with the latest information and screenshots. Unifi Protect now supports Smart Detections and the Cloudkey now also runs on UniFi OS.
