Multiple camera support is neat. I wish they would do a rack-mounted solution. Maybe a modular NVR-style device that you can slide in more "AI Port" compute modules into as needed.
Another vote for a rack-mounted solution. For the time being I opened up about 1U of space between my switch and UNVR to place two Ai Ports on top of the UNVR.
I would love to see a G5 PTZ test. They say it can't enhance the tracking but i find that a major issue it has (ESPECIALLY at night with its IR) is detecting people at all, or losing the track because it no longer see someone as a person.
I threw it on just to see that it worked but what would you like me to test. My G5 PTZ is inside right now so let me know what you want to see.. I can definitely put it back outside again if that's what you need.
I put on on my G5 PTZ, it does not enhance the tracking ability and I have noticed being connected it does not return to home and it won't save presets
@@DPCTechnologyWill it read license plates well in the g5 ptz? How’s the face recognition? I’m a bit disappointed with my ai pro regarding these two things.
I have the AI port on my G4 doorbell pro which is acting as an intercom at my gate. It seems like the camera is not of sufficient resolution / image quality to capture license plates but it is capturing faces. Further testing is needed (I have a GS bullet that I am going to try) but looks like users should be sure the cameras capabilities are sufficient to utilize the LPR functionality.
I have two of these deployed on a system on Southside. Both are hooked up to Dahua cameras. I can't emphasize enough how easy these were to set up. That property used to run on a BlueIris NVR (PC). It took me days to get that system set up properly. By comparison it only took me about two minutes of my time to get the Ai Port setup. One thing to note when using this with ONVIF: set the camera to H.264 for both the main stream and the sub stream. The Ai Port doesn't seem to like H.265 for now.
What are we truly expecting of the AI Key? Transcriptions, video enhancements? Maybe some intelligent detections for “altercations” or something, based on the transcriptions and volume fluctuations? I’d imagine transcriptions would be searchable, too. Based on form factor - it seems reasonable to think that it will carry the same camera capacities as the Port. $499+, probably. Not knowing more about the Key is the ONLY thing that kept me from pulling the trigger on the Port on launch day!
If UniFi is reading these comments something that we really need is a way to generate and export daily reports. It would be really nice if a 1 page PDF and a CSV file could be automatically generated at the end of each day.
@@techtalkandtechunboxed It's just great that they add those features for a low price for everybody.. it really is the right way to treat your customers...
I put one on the camera I use for LPR, it works pretty good during the day but I think the AI is looking for a vehicle before it checks for a plate because at night all the camera basically shows is the plate and the AI does not recognize it.
@ might be time to get a doorbell for testing 🤪 thanks for the speedy reply. Found a comment after I commented of someone saying they got it working too.
Does the AI port enable audio recording for ONVIF cameras? Am I understanding correctly that the AI Port will support ONVIF cameras recording in 4k as long as the bitrate and fps isn’t too high? It’s weird they don’t mention 4k onvif in the support document.
AI to the Doorbell isn't working at all for me. I've tried resetting them both, they are all updated, and nothing works. Seems like it was not quite fully baked.
@@techtalkandtechunboxed unfortunately, I'm not a doorbell guy so I'm not the right person to ask.. it worked flawlessly on all the cameras. I was super impressed. Even some discontinued units
@@DPCTechnology I am not worried about it. I look forward to it getting fixed and to getting the option to connect 1 AI Port to 5 Unifi cameras. I bought 2 AI Ports and have nearly 20 non-AI Unifi cameras. Loving the last year of Protect products.
Don't buy something that will support something in the future. If you want multi-camera support I'd wait until the update is out and proven. Too many broken promises in tech!

Rack mount for AI Port will be available, can fit multiple of them. There will also be an AI Key soon.

I will get an AiKey once they are available. It’s great to be able to use some other alternatives for specific use cases.

AI key will transcribe audio and sharpen faces for face detection
Have you paired the port with one of the wifi camera's? Specifically the G4 instant? I'll probably test that this weekend.
Would like to see a deep comparison of AI Pro vs G5 PTZ + AI Port
@@ls1powered240sx sounds like a good one. Will put on list
Can you finally do heat maps, customer head count and all that be super useful ? Pleeeease

This is game changing from UI.

I wonder if that will change when UniFi launch their LPR camera, cause that must work the same way at night.
@@michaelh5722 I hope, I am tired of paying Rekor 20 bucks a month.
Does it support the G4 Doorbell?

Yes that’s an issue Ubiquiti is fixing in upcoming firmware

Seems to work on the Doorbell pro for me. Gotta be a bit futher away from the camera and less movement for it to hit that detection.
So it only works for a single camera? Hardly a game changer at all.
Up to 5 cameras I think
