a very nice update. we're having some big building works taking place later this year, and we're going to run ethernet everywhere for a proper wired network and cameras. was already looking at Unifi for the network and protect, not having h.265 always put me off as it is so much more efficient. I am now one happy man.
Cody, I agree with you 100% the 10 seconds is definitely not a good threshold and it should be enabled to go down to one second. You may not remember me but we met at the Ubiquiti World Conference and back in the Panasonic days of doing security camera systems 15 years ago we used to call it Stampede mode and we would set preset positions for those Panasonic PTZ cameras and in some cases we only wanted them in certain positions for two or three seconds so this has to be fixed by Ubiquiti
Hi Cody i have had this update since it came out but i dont seem to have the face and vehicle recognition they only thing i can think of is becasue im from Australia any thoughts ?
@@MactelecomNetworkseverybody is “screaming” for this for such a long time. Record to synology and or save events to cloud storage. They had to have this discussion when building these features.
Is it possible to trigger the PTZ camera over to an area of interest when triggered by a fixed camera? Say I have a fixed camera and a PTZ in my front yard. Fixed camera on driveway gets a detection and makes the PTZ that was looking the other way swing around and get a different angle on the detection.
I am hearing that when in patrol mode auto detection doesn’t override patrol mode for the PTZ. Is this true? Do you know if they are coming out with an update for this?
How good is the Person Detection with ubiquity? I want to take down a fence (we live in a high crime area) and setup cameras rather to alert me if there is a person detected. Just a bit worried about how good the detection is?
I have been very impressed with the person detection. It is fast and accurate. I turn on push notifications when I want to verify a person is at my door. I have been using this feature for about 3 months with G5 pro and G4 pro cameras.
As long as you have one of the cameras that support that you’re fine. The g3 cameras and g4 instant don’t. It seem to work pretty much 100% of the time unless it’s pitch black and too far from the IR illumination. It also has great options for vehicle detection or just movement, all of which can be configured for different areas of the coverage. (So any movement in this area but only people in that area etc).
I was looking into getting an nvr with five to six cameras for home security. Can you access playback directly from the nvr with a mouse on the tv? Looking for local access setup only. Seems complicated compared to current cctv setup. Thank you in advance.
Nope, webpage or app only. It's a great setup. I love it so much more then the older setup you are talking about. We still have a bunch of those at some of our offices and its a pain. I have a Unifi setup at home and I love being able to check on the house but have have the fees like I did with Ring.
There’s a hdmi viewport product but that just shows what’s currently on the cameras and can cycle through them or show a grid however you want to pre set them up, it doesn’t let you control them directly. If you want to pan/zoom etc you need the app or web browser, so a raspberry pi or something connected to the tv would do it.
Does anyone know if there's a way to turn down or disable the chime within the G4 Doorbell Pro? When someone rings the doorbell, the device itself chimes extremely loudly and I'd like to turn it down or disable it altogether. The volume there is too loud while the volume on the actual chimes is too low sometimes.
Love your videos! Could you please just show the UI without the overlay of your webcam? It is distracting and it always happens that you cover parts of the UI I am interested in. Thanks! :) They have to make PTZ patroling continious, so that it does not stop at the presets and allow us to control the speed at which it moves from one position to the next. Also.... custom rintones for the chime... c'mon Unifi ;-)
We have to activate patrol manually?? Yea that’s useless when I’m asleep or away. How hard is it to make a camera that has auto PTZ? Motion sensors are cheap, throw 4 on it for all 4 directions and it turns itself. Making it into 4 cameras. Thier 360 camera was a smart first step but still missed the mark. Multiple lenses cameras would be the easiest to build. That stretched image cannot be used in a court of law in the U.S. because the image is distorted.
bug found, when clicking on a shortcut in full screen it exit full screen ......very annoying, and i have a lot of video lag/buffering in playback(live), only 1 frame every 5 seconds, g3 flex and g5 bullet no problem, only on my g4 bullet and g4 doorbell
nice update. i wish they could also fix the nfc / fingerprint on the G4 doorbell....
One thing you didn't mention is that the Protect mobile app finally gets notification snooze! 👏
Amazing!
You do a great job on informing your audience. Thanks for your superb content. You are my #1 Unifi content provider!!
😃

Thanks for walking through the Shortcuts feature. I will definitely use this.
Quality content, on point, as always! Thx Cody !!

Great video. Love this update. Do you think they will roll out archive back up for iCloud Drive?
Sounds great!
I have a G4 Doorbell Pro but no chance to change the image- any advices?

Hello, first of all, thank you very much for the videos. I have one question: would you recommend buying the G4 PTZ for outdoor use? Or should I wait?
The g4 is meant for outdoor but if it’s for a home ( unless you have a castle) probably not
@@MactelecomNetworks thx
I wonder if it's possible to set an automatic export of things like events for offsite backup purposes?
I don’t think they do “events” yet but that would be nice to add

@@shardphoenix There are some grumblings of a UNIFI NAS in the works. So perhaps if they go that route, they'll integrate it.
Thanks for the video. I have already updated. Still missing the ability to export the vehicle ID detections... I hope it will come soon.
Love this update. Juist need bulk editing of the encoding!! Don't want to sit and change 100+ cameras individually to the H265 setting :/
Very nice. Definitely like the feature for shortcuts!
How do patrol's work with smart detections and zoning? do you have a specific zone for position 3 of the patrol? etc
Is it possible to trigger the PTZ camera over to an area of interest when triggered by a fixed camera? Say I have a fixed camera and a PTZ in my front yard. Fixed camera on driveway gets a detection and makes the PTZ that was looking the other way swing around and get a different angle on the detection.
I'm sure UI will get to that feature in about 6 years
@@Zach_Millerand never if no one requests it
I don't see a recognition tab on my dream machine pro. Does this only show if you have AI cams?
We need to get more smart options. For example to switch of indoor cameras when u are at home an so on..
I am hearing that when in patrol mode auto detection doesn’t override patrol mode for the PTZ. Is this true? Do you know if they are coming out with an update for this?
Ubiquiti, please take more of my money
All these fancy updates and I'm still unable to move the doorbell package camera to the other side of the window
Good intro Cody - thx
This update bricked my g4 doorbell. Doing RMA now.

I agree that patrolling needs to be 0-30 seconds. With speed adjustment between zones.
It also looks like notifications snooze in the IOS/Android app is there, too! Finally!!!

hmm i dont have the shortcut button
Finally can change the images.
Really nice, but still locked into their storage, with no real options for backups. Not counting GD/OD because that’s ridiculous.
Love your videos!

The camera shortcuts looks like watch dogs camera settings
Still so multiview playback 🙄 But hey at least I can put a GIF on my doorbell
They have multi view playback was in the last release I believe
@@MactelecomNetworks ah I see it now, still kind of useless if I can't do it remotely
I don't like the front page. When you have over 50 cameras scrolling is a pain
You can customize that
come on unifi, keep working until we are happy
😂 they are doing a great job

it looks like i fixed the buffering for now, looks like the G4 products have a problem with the enhanced video encoding
