Ubiquiti has outlined UniFi Protect 7.1, a release focused on broader camera visibility, smarter live views, improved AI detection, and new NVR hardware.
The update includes custom video walls in Site Manager, dashboard improvements, webhook shortcuts from live views, improved smart detection, vehicle support for PTZ tracking, immersive downloads for 360 cameras, and expanded ONVIF support.
Why It Matters
For businesses that monitor multiple cameras across one or more sites, live visibility is only useful when the layout, alerts, and playback workflow are easy to operate. Better video walls and live controls can help staff move from passive viewing to faster incident handling.
The continued emphasis on local, license-free recording also matters for buyers comparing UniFi Protect with cloud-heavy CCTV platforms. Storage sizing, retention, permissions, and privacy process still need to be planned properly before installation.
