I’ve written about Ubiquiti’s fantastic camera products in several posts over the past few months, but cameras are nothing without a backend system to manage and monitor them. Ubiquiti recently released UniFi Protect v4.0 with a redesigned NVR Core Engine.

About Apple @ Work: Bradley Chambers managed the enterprise IT network from 2009 to 2021. With his experience deploying and managing firewalls, switches, mobile device management, enterprise-class Wi-Fi networks, thousands of Mac computers, and thousands of iPads, Bradley will share how Apple IT managers deploy Apple devices, build networks to support them, train users, stories from the trenches of IT management, and ways Apple can improve its products for IT departments.

What’s new in UniFi Protect 4.0?

The latest version of UniFi Protect, version 4.0, brings many new features and improvements aimed at improving user experience and system performance. Here’s a quick overview of what’s new:

New NVR base engine

UniFi Protect 4.0 adds Enhanced Encoding to improve live streaming and recording performance with G4, G5 and AI cameras. Camera recording resolution can now be reduced for each camera to 2K or HD to free up disk space on the NVR.

Improved user interface

UniFi Protect 4.0 introduces an improved and more intuitive user interface for camera monitoring. The updated design makes navigation easier and quicker to access key features, giving users easier management of their camera systems. It also adds improved bulk video export for multiple cameras to a local device, Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive.

Improved motion detection

This version includes significant improvements to the motion detection algorithms. Increased accuracy and reduced false positives mean users can rely on more precise alerts and better security monitoring.

Advanced playback controls

New advanced playback controls make reviewing footage more efficient. Users can quickly navigate through recorded videos, making it easier to find and analyze specific events.

Configurable notifications

The latest update allows for more customization of notification settings. Users can tailor alerts to specific needs, ensuring they are notified only of the most important events, reducing notification overload.

Performance improvements

Numerous performance improvements have been implemented behind the scenes. These improvements provide a more stable and responsive system, providing users with a reliable and efficient security solution.

End

Would I want 100% of my NVR data streamed directly from a cloud platform like AWS? Sure, but the costs are staggering when you have dozens of cameras. Unifi Protect 4.0, in my opinion, offers the best overall value with NVR and camera technology today – especially for small to medium-sized deployments. For a free update, Unifi Protect 4.0 is an amazing update and sets the stage for a great journey for customers. When you can buy a 3-pack of cameras for $500 with no recurring fees, it’s hard to recommend anything else as a starting point.
