yeesss. now i can slowly start to order my unifi devices and integrate my foscam cameras. Unifi is a brilliant system

Well done Ubiquiti for opening up to the rest of the world.... Using 3rd party Onvif in protect may never be perfect however I think as time goes on there will be some models that will work perfectly.

Att: Synology.. I think its time to put an end to your overpriced extra camera licenses... I can tell you I won't be purchasing anymore in the future.

Very exciting and very great mini review!

This sounds awesome - I just realized that I can activate UniFi Protect on my new UniFi Cloud Gateway Max - but wonder if it is beefy anough for my 8 cameras (mixed 1080, 1440 and 4K) without affecting the rest of the performance.

I've moved house and my old setup with Qnap was never satisfactory. With this update i can adopt my Reolink cameras to my UDM Pro.
I'm also not that bothered by the PTZ not working, i can still use the Reolink app for interaction.

not enough to make me move away from surveillance statiom with 8 cameras, but looking foward to seeing them add some basic O.N.V.I.F (not said On-Viv lol) profile features, hopefully in the next year it will have more features....

A step in the right direction, now I can justify buying a 4bay NVR, or why not, the Pro. Good review with the good, the bad, and the possibilities.

My takeaway is this: Currently, if you have a fairly basic setup for non-Unify cameras, meaning simple straightforward cameras, no special features or notifications needed, just a raw feed from fixed ONVIF cameras that needs to be recorded, you're saying that pretty much works fine, on the current version? (Obviously with the understanding that some specific cameras may be wonkier than others)

Would anyone disagree with that? I'm tempted to cut over, so I can give my Hikvision NVR the heave-ho, if the only downside is no special controls (which I don't use, for my Hik setup, since it's completely isolated to my local network). Everything that I need notifications and fancy is already on UniFi cameras. But it would be great to have the two consolidated into the one more accessible one.

Good videos! Keep them coming.
Nice background, but I think it will be better with more black back there. You have a "to white skin" and the contrast is bad. Just my opinion! Thanks.

That's so crazy they don't have onvif on by default

Ubiquity cameras are overpriced and generally have poor video quality when compared to most modern 4k cameras. Even some reolink cameras which are 1/3 the price have better performance. The hook up channel has now done 2 really good breakdowns showing quality.
