Unifi Protect Update 4.1 : Alarm manager, Archive to a NAS

[@LordSaliss]

Now that we have NAS archive in Protect I am guessing we will probably see the release of the UniFi NAS soon.

[@markalmada9662]

They made racks, door bells, UPS, chimes, Nas drives next perhaps.

I wouldn't be shocked if they do. Whatever they do I'm just glad this is open to any NAS. What would have sucked would be if there was a UniFi NAS first and then Protect could only archive to UniFi NAS. That would suck so I'm glad that is not the direction they have taken. Not saying a UniFi NAS couldn't be amazing.

Good video. I do agree we need automation. For me it would be great to have it done based on trigger events and also time based. So when you hit lets say 10 days then move to the NAS and finally delete footage from the NAS after Y amount of days.

[@AdamMuhle]

Yeah, NAS archive automation would be great. I try to monitor my grandma's cameras, but her internet isn't great so viewing directly through the app can be frustrating. If I could have them automatically (if slowly) upload the triggered events to my server over a site-to-site, watching them would be so much easier. And I could do things like set a cron job that concatenates all the videos into one, creates a time lapse of the clips, etc to make reviewing them even more efficient.

Looks like I'll be busy setting things up this weekend... Thanks Cody!

[@kenmack]

Custom chimes, but still can’t bind multiple doorbells to multiple chimes 🤦‍♂️ Unifi has so many great things they add, but I wish they had a team that would fix some of the basic missing functions.

[@kamiraa]

Wow all great updates! I dig the video format also, very quick and to the point! Great job.

[@fvannini]

Hey Cody, as usual very useful information and just the right length of video "pills". It'd be good if you would create 5 minutes how-tos, maybe part of an overall playlist. Easy for fruition, easy for future updates. Thanks 🙏

[@AndyHernandez18]

I like the updates, that Halo theme sounds like a kid recorded it in a bathroom though. 😆

[@MactelecomNetworks]

😂

[@chomp7927]

NICE, just got my NVR delivered today lol

[@EricGoodrich]

Great video as usual Cody. I’m still waiting for Unifi to give us a UI to change the dog from the doorbell pro to an uploaded png or jpg. 🍻

[@jondavis1834]

Great video. Can we use Alarm Manager to find a specific face and send us an alert? We are regularly discharging people and sometimes they come back and cause trouble

[@amcrossx]

hopefully the next release will also say archive to ubquiti NAS

[@richardturkson5916]

BTW.. if you have two factor authentication enabled on your NAS, connecting to the NAS may fail. I had to user another account that was not 2FA enabled.

[@Mcklain5]

Do you think we will be able to upload a custom message to use with the AI Pro Enhancer? (to scare away people when its triggered...)

[@chinoricco6368]

How to use External mic to speak trought the doorbell or the G4 instant etc?

[@NabilMakhout]

Does this mean I could automatically open my front door by looking at my G4 doorbell and let it recognise my face, then it opens my door so I won’t be needing a key??

[@michaelh5722]

Shortcuts - do they show up in the mobile app too?

[@MactelecomNetworks]

I don’t think so right yet but I assume it will come in an update

[@marine1718]

When I win the lottery I buy all from unify also

[@El3andro]

Could you showcase how to use an AI camera to automatically open a gate based on license plate recognition?

[@RicardoJimenezlmhc]

Awesome updates

[@chrisaldrich8584]

im up to date on my UNVR protect 4.1.53 but dont have option for new doorbell chime. they making different version for the UNVR?

[@MactelecomNetworks]

The protect chime is actually still in release candidate

[@dohyea6093]

I've got it for UNVR 4.1.53 under devices-doorbell-paired chimes...maybe scroll down?

[@markalmada9662]

Thanks codie

[@Ex_impius]

I can tell you have not removed the protective plastic that comes with the camera over the lens on your front door lol

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Haha I did it’s actually just dirty need to clean it

[@ciscokid81]

4:23 great video. What lock do you use for the front door? Are you able to set it up to unlock with facial recognition? Thanks

[@MactelecomNetworks]

I actually don’t know the wife bought it. What i was showing unlocking the door was Unifi access ( which I don’t actually have hooked up at my front door )

[@ciscokid81]

@@MactelecomNetworks Gotcha. Thanks

[@ChristianBlueChimp]

2:51 - the username and password for my NAS? Because all I get is wrong username/password.

[@MactelecomNetworks]

@@ChristianBlueChimp ya it’s for your nas

[@ChristianBlueChimp]

Thanks, I thought so, but didn't get it to work. Will try some more.

[@GrannyDryden]

Make sure that the account you're using to sign into your NAS with, has been given permission to that Unifi shared folder location on your NAS first.

[@ChristianBlueChimp]

@@GrannyDryden yeah I did that, but still not able to connect. Does it have to be port 445?

[@stultuses]

All I want is camera sharing with a single camera without identity enterprise or having to give someone local admin access that gives them access to all cameras Seems to me ubiquity is slowly moving away from the home market and pushing into the corporate space

[@MactelecomNetworks]

@@stultuses camera sharing will be coming to the free version of identity
