I've had mine for about a year and I'm really happy with it. Haven't had any problems with it. I also got the smart chime and placed it in our back room where we can't hear the doorbell so it's been prefect for me. Thanks for the video.

When pressed does it send notifications to your phone along with live veiw

@@tristanedwards1340 No, it doesn't do both of those things. It's true to say you get a notification but it is indiscernible from any other notification. If your phone's out of sight you will have no idea what the notification is for until you check your phone. I imagine you are wondering if it works like some other doorbells, for example, Ring. It is not the same experience at all. You simply get a notification banner on your screen and you have to click that in order to open the Protect app which then let's you see a live view. If you have any experience with how the likes of the Ring doorbell works this will disappoint you. Especially given that it's double the cost.

I noticed the video pop up on your Apple Watch (11:04) . Is that a default setting or do I need to add it in settings/notifications somewhere? And can you answer from your watch?? Thanks for the informative video!

Man I can’t wait to flip over to this from my Nest Doorbell Battery. It was great when I was in an apartment/condo, but now I have a house, I just gotta run some PoE out to the doorbell area and get this thing installed. Watching the notification here at 11:07 really reminded me of this. W/ Google, it has to activate (event only), then record, then upload to the cloud (shabby wifi on that side of the wall), process the video and make a thumbnail, then download it again over wifi to your phone (and then watch). At least with Unifi all that work happens locally, including the transcoding (at least if you’re watching the video in the app). Right now Nest is so slow for me. It’s so cool to have all those AI features without putting ALL of your video in the cloud. And… nonstop video of the perimeter of my house is going to be AWESOME. Right now I only get event recordings from my doorbell and they often don’t trigger for events I wish I could go back to or they start/stop at the wrong times. I remember having an old Gen1 nest that would record constantly and I remember when the app was actually half-way decent. It was still cloud but at least it was pretty functional.

You’ll love it when you get all your equipment deployed. It’s nice not paying a subscription fee.

Getting Notifications on Apple Watch of someone at door but no live video. How do you have yours set?

Hey great video thanks. Wondering what you'd recommend if you have a roadside gate that id want to buzz someone in to get access to the front door/porch? I don't want to get 2 systems but the package sensor wouldnt be useful on the gate as they will enter and drop the package by the front door. Cheers

UniFi offers door access if that’s what you’re looking for. Thanks for the feedback 🤝

@Mistagainz 4 ай бұрын

So is there any way of having a internal post where you can see who calls at the door? or is it only through smartphone?

@KastanDay Ай бұрын

is there a finger print reader or “face ID” style unlock capabilities when paired with the door lock system? I saw that feature advertised but i haven’t seen anyone actually using it. thanks.

@carlossap Ай бұрын

Feature was recently enabled and there are a few examples of people setting it up with locks on reddit

Great Video!! New to Ubiquiti. Running Cat 6 in my home. Would love to know more about the wifi doorbell if you have any experience with it. I will rip up some drywall to facilitate the POE Doorbell, but would prefer to avoid that if possible/practical. Blessings, Bruce

It isn’t. It’s its own platform.

That's unfortunate - you have to always consider the cardinal rule when buying tech. Never buy hardware today based on a promise of software tomorrow.
