I don’t need this for a Home Assistant display, I don’t need this for a Home Assistant display, I don’t need this for a Home Assistant display…
Yes you do!!!!
Read my mind! Then I saw the $699 price tag and decided that Fire Tablets are working just fine. The ease of use on this thing and PoE is super appealing though.
Bro I was just looking and thinking if this would work. But 700 dollars for a display ain't worth it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Exactly I really wish it was cheaper, your better off spending 150 on a tablet and I seen you can get Poe charge adapters for them. Just hard to justify being it’s almost as expensive as a high end galaxy tab
For digital signage at church we took a large TV with only 1 working HDMI port, tacked on a Raspberry Pi with a digital signage build. It has played for 4+ years. Cheap, reliable and recycled.
Cody, nice review as always!
I have a 7" display in my bedroom and a 13" display in my kitchen. Both are set to show my Protect cameras.
The color and contrast on the touch screen are great. Sound can be controlled remotely or locally.
In addition to the zoom, timeline access, viewing by events, etc, you can set roles and schedules for the UI.
My wife can adjust some settings (like microphone sensitivity), but not others (like adjusting exposure).
Schedules can also be setup in the Connect app. EG: the 7" display in my bedroom dims to 25% brightness and 30% volume from 2100 to 1159. From midnight to 0700 the levels are reduced to 5% and 10% respectively and then back up to normal levels during the daytime.
The schedules got the WAF (wife acceptance factor) up to 95%...especially since I travel a lot and she can see what is happening outside at night.
Does the screen dim and bright up when you are away or close to the screen?
Also, did you try if you can talk when someone ring on the doorbell?
@@denlysineath-sinn2092 I have the "Auto-Sleep" feature set to off so I cannot speak to that feature.
But neither of my displays brighten or dim based on proximity. They do however brighten and dim based on the schedules I set.
Awesome. Im really hoping they come out with smaller options again. I would much rather have a 13" on my computer desk to watch my cameras
Which models of displays are those?
@@aayotechnology they are the Ubiquiti brand Connect displays. Both the 7" and the 13" have been removed from the store at this time. The 21" display is the only Connect display that remains on the site. Maybe they will bring the 7 and 13 back; but there has been no release of info to indicate that.
Cool device. But I would rather have a Unify device that accepts PoE and outputs HDMI, so I can connect a Big TV like 80" for digital signage. It would be cool if Unify will give more features for Digital Signage, like grouping with different videos, videos with frames (so you can open a webpage like weather or RSS feed for news texts to scroll).
Unifi Cast is what you need. It outputs to HDMI it is nice only connect no option for protect.
This looks like a great option for giving a reception or guard desk the video feed from Protect. It could as be used for things like customer sign-in or wavers. If you set up a website for to-go orders, that could be another use. It would be good if they partnered with companies like Square as a register terminal with Bluetooth card readers and printers.
Have to be honest ... why ?
Just get an android tablet, it's cheaper and you don't need the whole protect ecosystem around it.
Excellent review. You gave me more information that UI itself ;)
Actually, we can integrate this to the control systems, like a smart house or meeting room and make it works with the Crestron control system.
I'd love to see a smaller version as an IoT dashboard in every room running HomeAssistant or a custom app that could switch between some dashboard and Protect. Ubiquiti, please make that happen so we don't need to use untrusted Chinese IoT control screens!
They had a few smaller screens in early access but they never made it to the general public... yet
@@MactelecomNetworks People want a smaller version.
I know the unified connect is designed for a commercial kiosk and other things like that, and very well built and strong and sturdy. But I have a 27-in model with the wall mount normal TV VESA adapter And it displays my protect cameras, all 16 of them on there. Mounted in my master bed room. My wife really loves this because she can just walk up to the cameras select what she wants to see or select new cameras. And then I have a 7-in one and that one I have going to my home assistant dashboard and sign in with an account that only has access to a set of dashboards and it's on my work desk. And I have it mounted with the desk mount stand, which is very sturdy and very hefty and weight. And then I also have a wall flush mount adapter, but it doesn't fit any standards as far as electrical boxes or anything like that so I'm going to have to cut the circular hole and then mount it with anchors but it's very thin compared to where the drywall is so be difficult but I'm going to do that eventually and put in the wall by the front door. But it's a perfect little thing as a home assistant touch screen dashboard. It is very expensive so I wouldn't recommend using it for that purpose, but these both were my test units and so just putting them to good use.
This is wild and solves some other issues we have been looking into for the job.
Looks nice for the camera displays. Really pricy though. I set up PiSignage for my digital signage applications. And while Pi’s are much more now, still cheaper than this, plus can use any size display.
This. Would have been quite appealing at $400. $700? At that price, there are competing solutions that do much more.
For Protect display mode, can you change the layout of the cameras so you can fully utilize the screen real estate and not have black areas?
I like that you can put websites, protect cameras and apps on these displays seems the display cast should be able to work the same way, but it’s just good for signs and works really well, have several of those installed in business lobbies.
I wish the connect cast would display protect
I'm looking for something like this, but to me it makes more sense to buy a mini PC or NUC and a 13"-15" portable, touchscreen HDMI display for about the same price-maybe even an OLED screen if you find a good sale. And then you have a *full PC* running whatever OS you want, can view any webpage in 4K, run any app you want, see your Protect feeds, etc. The size seems a bit odd: too big and clunky for a dashboard (and too low of a resolution at 1080p), and not big enough as effective digital signage. And the chunky bezels makes the screen overall feel dated.
Have this price point. I find it hard to justify versus rolling your own with a large Android tablet.
Great new product, thanks for sharing. I may buy one. As much as I love Unifi. 5:56 makes me glad I haven't left the Hikvision cams yet. Dynamic range is not good there. Can't believe how overexposed the light parts are (esp first picture in the second row). Unifi interface is fantastic, and Hik is horrible. But they really need to get it together with dynamic range on those cams.
Ubiquiti please read this! Down here in New Zealand we pay DOUBLE prices for every single Ubiquiti products! It's just not fair! Our biggest tech store rip us off.! Please open your international selling system for us and let us purchase directly from your website, even though with the shipping fees we still pay so much here for your products. Thanks 👍
I would buy a couple for my house if Ubiquiti would make smaller and cheaper versions. And yep, it would be for Home Assistant dashboards.
My first thought is to use it for home automation and surveillance, but then I don't like the APK process for uploading Android apps to it. I still think a wall mounted tablet is the better route but I'll have to investigate more of the pros and cons.
Great video! Do you know if Unifi Access works on this Connect Display?
Have you tried the Protect with an AI360? If so, will it show a dewarped image? I bought a Viewport to use as a Protect display, and it will not show a dewarped image, so it's pretty useless for my application.
I found uconnect for $530 new but is EA model ??? Should i get it or no because is an Early access model ? Will it be different for the official u connect vs Ealy access u connect model 🤔???? Any thoughts
Can you do me a favor. Add a doorbell then when you are in multimode please ring the door bell. Will it bring up the doorbell view point and if so is it cut off? also can you disable this feature and if so how? Thank you in advance.
really nice but 21" is enormous to have up on a wall on 24/7. I'd like to see one 13" like the size of an ipad maybe even an 11". this thing is like mounting another TV on the wall
When they announced it I was really excited for it. But now that it's out I'm pretty disappointed, I've seen better point of sale/narrowcasting systems that just work with a auto deploying Android tablet or Chromebox. Even the option to display signage as a "screensaver" isn't there.
Hoping that the software will be improved, but it needs a lot of work.
I would assume they will be pushing out more features in future firmware updates. Thats hope Ubiquiti typically works when releasing a new product line
Thanks for review. I've been curious about this product, but I did not quite understand all it afforded.
Thanks for watching :)
Oohhh so I have a wall mounted monitor (27-inches) that I use for Home Assistant, however it is NOT touchscreen.... I wonder how well this would work for that. My monitor is vertical which appears to work, and being able to provide a web url is super helpful. I could see this as something I would consider purchasing.
Can you segment different quadrants into different tasks?
Like protect in the top left, weather in the bottom left and a website on the whole right?
Now that would be amazing! But I dont think so
Love the Content! Keep it up 🙂
Thank you :)
Was super excited til I saw the price tag, for the limited use and the lower resolution 700 is a lot to ask, the only upside is single cable functionality, but I’m not sure that warrants a consideration. They should have offered routing built in, that would have made this a much more tempting offering
The price is a little much but im not sure how it compares to other solutions
There is a camera in the front of the displays. I wonder if that feature will be enabled some day.
Now couple this with a simple rack server running an open source point of sales, and you can break into a new market.
thanks! can you also control the door access application from the Connect Display?
Since this can run the protect app can this be installed outside of the network where the UNVR is located? Unlike the View Port....
Is it correct that, if you make the web landingpage so, you can turn this in a dashboard for (for example) Homey on web?
Would have been very useful if ubiquiti would have enabled the option of combining different modes where you can automatically or manually swipe between screen. This is very fixed.
Hello Cody,
Thanks for your videos, they're always very interesting.
Can you please tell me how many unify cameras can be assigned/shown under Unified Protect app?
Is there a maximum number like when using the Viewport (16)?
Thanks
I'm still so curious on this - Could you essentially download the Spotify or Sonos apk. Trying to have a home entertainment hub / security in the ubiquity environment.
Any idea if these will be coming to Canada ? You were spot on with Talk which has been great. Would love to see it over here. Or would there be any issue buying one in the US and just bringing it over the border ? it would still work I assume ?
I wonder if they’ll make the doorbell camera appear immediately if someone presses it. Sorta like an intercom system
I’m going to try this weekend. I’ll pin my response to the top of the comments
@@MactelecomNetworks thanks mate! Would be super handy if it did the doorbell chime too.
In Australia we don’t have hardwired doorbells. And ubiquiti don’t make an AU speaker unit
Nice Video. It's possible to use Split Screen to display two apps at the same time? For Example Protect and Smart Home Dashboard
When you are on the multi view with all the cameras can you easily touch each image to go full screen and touch it again to go back to multi view or do you have to specifically navigate from on screen icons?
Would it allow me to pan and zoom with UNIFI’s PTZ installed?
Will this allow people to make a booking through your webpage and take payment? Will it save their data on the device or act like an incognito type page?
Does it also not allow people to use it like a desktop?
Cheers
I wonder if this would work with Home Assistant via webgui????
Maybe I havent dug into Home Assistant much yet
Trying to run an Android app on it but it keeps crashing. Is there anything specific that needs to be done to run an Android app?
if i use a website and input is needed does a virtual touch screen keyboard come up on the screen?
In Android Apps can I install Unifi Door Access App as well?
I would like to use the Connect Display as a screen for my Main Gate UA-Pro
Does this need to be on the same network to display a unifi protect camera?
This product looks good on paper, but in practice it is quite bad. Touch screen is great, but the app implementation is laggy, unstable, and just not very responsive. Trying to do anything on the display feels like a submarine captain issuing orders that need to be repeated and issued again until finally the little man at the controls inside the monitor responds. I want to like my Connect display, but having it for over a year with no meaningful performance fixes leaves me a bit sad. I typically go back to the browser for Protect since the Connect display is rubbish, good only for a static view "quick look", and forget about navigating on it for specific incident review.
I'm currently using it for conference rooms, displaying current room status and availability.
Only thing is that the 13" display is perfect and UniFi is not selling them anymore on the website 😢
what are you using for the booking software? we've used room wizards in the past but i was hoping this would work with MS365 resource booking.
Can i use this display to unifi access? If i need to open door can i use this product?
How to make Unifi AP connect to the nearest device?
What happened to the smaller version that was released on early access? I was looking forward to seeing that model. It would have made a perfect monitor for my cameras by the front door.
They never made it out of early access. Hopefully they do come out with smaller form factors though.
I want some for Protect and Home Assistent!
Hopefully they bring it to Germany and make some smaller tablets like 10 or 12
Ya I really hope they release smaller tablets
great video!
The UniFi Protect App was not already there on mine like it was for you. Did you have to do anything to get it there? Is there a place to download the official APK?
Where did the 7" and 13" displays go. They are not in the store anymore?
Can this be mounted flush?
Are you able to swipe through different apps that you load??
My protect won't stay on the group view. It always pops back out. But I see I can now install apk files files so I am going to see what I can do with this weird android device.
Hi Cody Just wanted to know what version of connect is running in Video? UniFi Connect Application 2.3.8 doesn't have Web Page as an option to display.
Hey im running 2.3.8 not sure why you wouldn't be seeing it. Are you running EA hardware?
Do you need to use Ubiquiti connect displays with the connect app? I have a client that uses 75" portrait and landscape screens for digital signage in their retail stores.
Hey ya it needs to be adopted into a unifi consoles of some sort
I am not my reciving my pdf monthly bill.Try to login in app i can not recive my otp no.Need ur assistance to improve.Tq
bill for what?
I do have a Connect but it's an EA model that seems to no longer exists on the website.
I also do not have access to web which would be nice!
It be nice to be able to switch between Web and protect on the screen rather than the controller.
For my use case, protect works good however few hicks up share and there like general protect issues where camera feeds that are recording tend to freeze with only audio still working.
I think the ea model had issues that is why it was redesigned
@MactelecomNetworks probably why it no longer exists. However, it still runs well for just protect. 😁
I may purchase the non ea later this summer for residential use, a great device to entertain kids, check whether or simply have a protect device when in the work shop
If running in protect mode and you have a doorbell setup. What happens to the display when the doorbell is pressed? Does it auto go to a larger view of the doorbell feed and allow two way voice communication?
This I am unsure of but will test this weekend
Hi Cody, did you tested two-way audio? Is it possible to communicate with the Doorbell? Thanks;) @@MactelecomNetworks
so were just waiting on a firmware update to use the display cast? fingers crossed
I really hope so :)
Can you upload multiple videos and images for the Signage option and arrange them in a certain order, control how long things are displayed, etc?
I believe you can in a playlist
Would be interesting to see if this would work with home assistant 🤔
I need to give it a try
Hey, I wonder if you can install the UID application and use it to answer the Access UA-Pro 😎
You know what you probably can and I may give it a try
Nice LEGO train in the window :)
Thanks still need to finish it lol
@@MactelecomNetworks I collect LEGO trains myself. Have fun building it :)
Great job! Can you do one for the Display Cast as well?
Your wish is my command lol
ua-cam.com/video/NL5jm4y8pFg/v-deo.html
Can it run a website fullscreen at all times, is this just a temporary feature? Would be great as a Home Assistant Dashboard. The 27" is actually cheaper now, so it's tempting.
It can run a website full time
This is why they discontinued the $199 viewport. I have a Display Cast and the drop-down only has digital signage as an option, so perhaps they may bring the rest into it eventually.
The viewport has been in stock a lot don’t think it’s discontinued
I sure wish they would display an unwarped 360 view@@MactelecomNetworks
it has all the hardware to do it, but can you answer doorbell rings?
This I don’t know 🤔 I won’t have this fully setup in my house until I get a mount
Magnetic mounting with a little slider lock doesn't seem very secure for a potentially public facing device, at that price businesses are going to get sick of replacing them very quickly.
in unifi protect, does it allow for showing de-warped 360 camera views ? the viewport is really lacking this
This I will have to find out for you. I thought the Viewport allowed you to see multiple different angels of the dewarp
@@MactelecomNetworks nope, if i set up a view with 4 different angles from the same camera it looks fine in the the web interface. but when you push that view to the viewport you just end up with 4 fisheye views of the same camera. real shame
Hello, do see the Leaf switch's coming back?
That I’m not sure of
Does this mean you could get reolink apk and use reoling video stream?
🤔 maybe haven’t tried
So where does the media file get uploaded to? Is it local or on UniFi servers
I think you need a hard drive in the console
Thanks.
Hey is it possible to display the unifi network dashboard?
You probably can with the Unifi network APK
$699!? Maybe at $399.. That's really expensive for a glorified NVR Display.. Why not an adapter to put it on any display you already have?
Well its more so for digital signage but I would use it for protect
Will this be available in Germany soon?
That I have no idea about. We don't even have it in Canada yet
They have priced themselves out of the market, it’s like 3 times what it should be. Too small as a sign unless at reception, it’s really just a large tablet. In this day and age these should be coming down in price as tech is now years old.
its crazy that ethernet can be used to power this display
I know! Soon will see lights
Just got my devices... looks like they removed the ability to display your unifi protect camers. FAIL
Nope it’s still there. Go into settings and make sure the box is checked off, then go to apps under mode and you should see it
@Mactelecom Networks whe I go I to apps it only shows media display. Even with the box checked.
@@royboivin did you have any luck with it?
@@aayotechnology No never got it working...
Could you put Unifi Network on it? I could see that being useful mounted next to a rack or wallmount setup.
I would assume it could. I’m going to try later and see
i needs a voice assistant.
Woohoo! More essential and completely unavailable product from Ubiquiti!
way to expensive, could just go with a ipad and save money and it can do more.
I think it's a little to expensive.
You’re probably right but I don’t have a baseline on how much other touch display/digital signage cost
You have some great videos... But slow down... It's hard to follow you. You talk so fast and click on things before I can see what's going on..
Thanks for the feed back. I try and keep it in my head to slow down but its really how I talk
UA-cam has subtitles auto generated and can translate, and what about that youtube slow speed function. Ignorance is not an answer.
Why everyone who demonstrates this display use the angry birds as an apl upload ? Come on be more creative
Who else has demonstrated it with angry birds lol
you hardly respond to any comments and issues, you want 100k subs for money only.
😂 the comments aren’t meant for tech support. My lord what is with people. I respond to a ton of comments.
It has absolutely nothing to do with money but thanks for coming out
I also responded to your comments , told you to join the discord if you are having issues some people may help you out.
