Ubiquiti UniFi Protect focus on user experience

Perhaps the biggest technology story of this decade has been the emergence of the cloud. Applications based in the cloud have led to breakthroughs in user experience, powering Industries from media streaming to social networks.

UniFi Protect was designed from the ground up with a focus on user-experience. It was built keeping in mind something that could operate at scale within a small hardware footprint, providing a low-cost initial investment while offering the remote connectivity convenience of cloud based systems.

Here’s more on its key design points—

  1. Usability: The core transcoding framework has been designed to provide rapid searching of any recorded video as shown in the video below. And because we don’t require the camera to connect to the cloud, it can provide much faster in-network latency, crucial for future applications including 2-way audio.
  2. Scalability: The new cloud key can manage 20+ cameras while simultaneously providing UniFi network management and new hardware later this year will significantly increase camera scalability further. Installation is plug and play with Protect automatically detecting and adding new cameras as they come online.
  3. No Subscription Fees: While a single monthly fee might be reasonable for the convenience of a single cloud camera, the proposition for a multi-camera network and multiple subscription fees quickly becomes unreasonable. With UniFi Protect, there are no subscription fees to worry about whatsoever.
  4. No Burden on your Internet bandwidth: As resolutions (and bit rates) increase so do their corresponding utilization of Internet upload bandwidth. With multiple cloud cameras constantly uploading to the Internet, this will greatly reduce the effective bandwidth for users on the network. With UniFi Protect, the camera stream terminates at the Cloud Key and thus saves full Internet upload bandwidth for the clients of the network.
  5. Completely Private: Cloud cameras forward video to 3rd party servers which means your life is really not private anymore and there is no guarantee that any recordings (including confidential events) will not be seen by others. With UniFi Protect, recorded video is kept private; away from 3rd party servers.
