What is UniFi Protect?
UniFi Protect is a security management application that
runs on a UniFi OS Console. With it, you can configure
your Protect devices, watch live camera streams and
recordings, download footage, create recording
schedules, customize detection-specific notifications,
and much more.
Protect cameras must be adopted by a compatible UniFi OS
Console running the UniFi Protect application. We
recommend the Network Video Recorder or Network Video
Recorder Pro since they are dedicated surveillance
devices, but you can also use a Dream Machine Pro or
Cloud Key Gen2 Plus. To store footage, you must install
a compatible hard disk drive (HDD) in your console or
video recorder, but one is not required to simply run
Protect.
