UniFi Protect: Surveillance
Without Surveillance Capitalism
4K cameras. AI-powered detections. License plate recognition. Facial recognition. All recorded locally on hardware you own, managed through a single interface, and accessible from anywhere — without a single frame ever touching a cloud server.
Platform Capabilities
Enterprise-grade surveillance capabilities at a fraction of enterprise cost — and you own every component.
4K Camera Quality
Crystal-clear 4K resolution across the entire camera lineup — bullet, dome, turret, PTZ, and doorbell form factors. Evidence-grade imagery that holds up in court and captures details consumer cameras miss entirely.
Smart AI Detections
On-device AI classifies objects in real-time: person, vehicle, animal. Set detection zones, sensitivity thresholds, and custom notification schedules per camera. Filter hours of footage down to the moments that matter in seconds.
License Plate Recognition
Dedicated AI Theta cameras with built-in LPR capture plates at distance with high accuracy. Create allow/deny lists, log entry/exit timestamps, and integrate with access control — all processed and stored locally.
Facial Recognition
Local facial recognition identifies known individuals and flags unknown faces. The critical difference: face data is processed and stored on your NVR, never uploaded to a cloud service. Privacy-centric biometrics that you control.
Color Night Vision
Advanced sensors and integrated spotlights deliver full-color footage in near-total darkness. When other cameras switch to grainy black-and-white, UniFi Protect cameras capture color detail that makes identification possible.
Local NVR Recording
All footage records to UniFi hardware in your building — Dream Machine Pro Max, Dream Machine SE, or dedicated UNVR units. Support for multiple hard drives with RAID redundancy. Your footage never leaves your premises.
Role-Based Access Control
Grant precise permissions to team members, property managers, board members, or law enforcement. View-only, full admin, time-limited guest access — each role sees exactly what they need and nothing more.
Mobile App Access
Full system access from iOS and Android. Live view, playback, smart detections, and alerts — all securely tunneled to your local NVR via Ubiquiti's relay. You access your footage; Ubiquiti cannot.
