G4 - G5 Cameras should have Face Recognition as well.....
They should, but then how would Ubiquiti get everyone to go out and buy some AI models now?
All that's great, but I'm still wondering when they are going to come out with a notification pause like Ring has. Preferably a group pause so you can pause backyard camera notifications & keep front yard active. Notifications have become basically useless to me because my wife is constantly making me silence my phone because of all the useless notifications. I definitely agree with the different chime tone for cameras or groups, but until they get a pause button they are still almost worthless.
@@ronwaldon7970you can mitigate that on iOS. When you receive a notification on the Lock Screen swipe left press options and mute for 1 hour
Should have it on all models and offer some compute harware for non-ai models.
That would require AI. If you want AI functionality, pay more for the AI version.
Adding this feature to the G series would also make them more expensive as they would need integrated TPU’s.
The Google Drive might be the first step to disaster recovery/off-site backups. I expect more to come.
Same
Synology would be nice 😁
@@YouAreOnTheWoodway Any local NAS system would do. (Yes, I also run Syno's)
I have Synology NAS and it kills me that I can't just back up to NAS. It's so dumb.
Thanks! Your videos are information-dense but concise, no wasted words. Outstanding.
Appreciate the super thanks :) 🙏
I think selective archiving is still useful for sharing clips and saving to a storage medium out of your house. Automating what type to be archived would be nice as well but I can see people forgetting they have that feature on and filling up their Google drives to max capacity,
True. Maybe pushing to a nas and setting a threshold on storage
With the new Access Intercom and Access G2 Reader Pro there is a weird overlap going on between Access and Protect. It's nice that there is an integration to assign Protect Cameras to Access Doors, but I wish you could do it the other way to be able to open the door from Protect (eg when a call comes through a Protect Doorbell).
Been running the EA for a week or so and love the gui update and Google drive. Wish the g4 cams had facial recognition though, kinda bummed they don't.
Another one Matt. Thank you for sharing.
Interesting, Thank You!
Great stuff. Will this update be coming to the UCK-G2-PLUS?
Excellent update, Just updated my UDM SE. Works great, not really interested in google archiving not enough security, I just manually download them to my ProtonDrive. Cannot wait for next updates, Would love to see custom DNS shield settings.
A schedule to archive important events like person of interest or license plates would make sense for security reasons for a business.
Have an icon showing if the footage is archived or on your local cloud key.
This version is not yet available on my regular UNVR (1U) on the official release channel. It is still under the Release Candidate channel.
Can you make a video how to make local ip?? So we can get the 4 camera playback??
Hi Cody, great video! I have two AI Pros and they are not picking up facial recognition or license plate detections. I already checked and I'm running the latest OS. Thanks for your help.
Great review.
Yes you are absolutely right, the google drive (or even better dropbox) is a nice addition, but it is almost useless if it cannot be automated for specific events like smart detection or suspicious persons etc etc
Hey Cody, I am a big fan of all of your videos and became a member recently. I need a quick advise. I just bought a house and had them wire with cat7 but the connecter they put is cat8 keystone is that going to fine or should I have them change the keystone to Cat7.
Hey thanks for the super sticker first and foremost.
You should be ok with the cat 8 connected I can’t see that causing an issue.
You could always request them to reterminate with the proper ends
These updates are helpful. Keep it up. Other content ideas: Setting up a simple server, e.g. using a Mac mini to create your own NAS.
I would also like to see the ability to auto backup to a google drive. Would like to be able to store archives for a complete week (or longer) at a time using an auto method. Also the ability to store multiple cameras at once. Maybe even use the google drive to auto dump an entire month from a site as you run out of space on your NVR
Been running this in EA with running facial detection at a liquor store for the past couple weeks. Seems to pick up faces about 60/70 percent of the time, I may need to adjust the camera angle as the camera is off to the side on the main door. It does seem to do a good job recognizing similar people even when wearing different head gear and grouping them together. Putting in an Ai at another liquor store entrance soon, which will get straight on shots of faces entering, will see if it performs any better.
I would like to get options for privet indoor cameras to shut them down when someone is at home...
Is there license plate recognition where you can give a unique name a plate so if a particular care that regularly comes in to a parking lot it would be named? (You can do this with faces I know.)
Another great video Cody, was wondering is there any preference to using the Protect app on the UNVR or is it better to use the app on the UDM Pro ? Thanks keep up the good work.
If you have a UNVR use it on that and shut it down on the UDM Pro
@@MactelecomNetworks Thanks that's where I have it running.
Thx for sharing
I got a UCK G2 Plus running Unifi OS 3.2.12 and protect is running 2.11.21 but everything snows up to date (hit check button and no updates), does this new release not work on the UCK G2 plus?
for facial recognition, can i set the system to alert me of any face who is not an approved face, meaning without having to proactively go in and name a face that's already been recognized as a person of interest?
I'd like to be able to archive footage to my nas.
Same
damn ubiquiti is going hard. Their event will be epic.
Can’t wait for the Chicago event
same for me what you said about the google drive...
what i love to have for google drive , is the last 10 motion events automaticly uploaded to my drive, as a security feature...if a intruder /housebreaker knows where my networkingrack is, its easy to grab that hdd...the actual feature is not really a feature to me. it more like 3 mouseclicks less than normal upload to my drive
Still no option for us to use custom images on our G4 Doorbell Pro's....without having to ssh and ftp files manually. .
what about selecting live view only but for specific cameras?
How do we "enable" RECOGNITION in UniFi Protect. We have many installations of UniFi Protect at multiple locations, but the "RECOGNITION" button never shows up. We are on 3.0.22. Why are we not seeing this option in our installations?
i hope we can select the time slot and play like x4 or x2 for fast forward play back. special i hope we can do it on the app
So wish Ubiquiti would launch the chime as a PoE device (separate to the PoE Doorbell), the plug-in unit is not great in the UK as it has a European plug.
Thanks!
Thanks for the super sticker :)
Hey Cody, I assume it is only the AI labeled camera and not for the brand new G5 Turret Ultra they just released also?
Thanks for the super sticker!
Ya it’s only the AI cameras ( the 360 don’t have facial recognition either)
Hey bro. You ever get SNAT to work on a UXG Pro?
No! I just got done fixing my house back up after my POE doorbell install 😂. Hopefully any new AI Doorbell will have the same / similar mounting template
Manual archive is fine if support for local NAS is added.
Great vid as always. But I think you mixed up the view only vs live only wording.
Yup 😆
Ubiqui should make a separate module to offload the ai stuff from the cameras.
The computer power on a camera it’s too small.
That way they are not constrained.
Also people wouldn’t feel they are left behind with the old cameras installed.
I suggest they sell a subscription to finance the development of the ai stuff to this new hardware.
So if won’t improvements you just pay an annual subscription to the ai computer module.
Otherwise we’ll have to be constantly upgrading the cameras.
Thanks for the super thanks!
I agree with you I think that would be good to implement it that way. They will be releasing new cameras so will have to see
No subscription! It's the whole reason I went with their system. Local and sub free.
@@MTKOZ I think that's their current advantage in the market. Ubiquiti will need more robust features to bring them in line with market leaders, at least in security, if they intend to a subscription fee in the future.
Now if they could just link the doorbell with Access, it'd be great. Been waiting for so long ..
Agree that archiving being manual isn't great but it's probably just them testing it, I'm guessing they'll add automation options when they're confident in it. Presumably home assistant could trigger the archiving through the API on some events already.
Now I just hope they add more than Google drive in there, a generic s3 target would be much better IMHO
First yay I made it first, lol. Ty man, I enjoy the videos and love the channel keep it up!
If you're switching out all your cameras, and need something to do with the old ones, you can send a few my way. ;) Outfitting a church with some security cameras but they have no budget so it's taking forever.
These updates are great, but we really need notifications updates. The ability to snooze notifications and the ability to only notify for zones please ubiquiti
Is the doorbell package detection a feature that needs to be enabled?
nevermind I realized I have the G4 Doorbell not the PRO 😐
what's the best way to add unifi protect for a tenant that owns a ucg-ultra?
I don't think you can. I believe the ultra does networking only.
Maybe with the CK2+ and uninstall network on that so only protect is running. To note the. 2.5HDD and doomed battery are pretty limiting in my opinion. Got fed up of HDD failures with recommended drives and just got the UNVR
Does the chime repeat work for anyone? I tried it yesterday and despite setting it to two the chime still rings only once.
Was working for me this morning
Probably a stupid question, but do I need to have the AI cameras to use these new features or can I use the standard g5 bullets?
Facial recognition required AI cameras
Thank you!
Still lacking custom chime sounds.
Also the ability to pair a doorbell to multiple chimes and multiple doorbells to a single chime
Way to drop a “hint” about AI doorbells coming soon lol 😂
Honestly no hint at all. Don’t even know if it’s a think but would be cool.
So basically facial recognition is really bad. Not useful if it doesn’t already actually recognize
Even a janky system like Eufy has facial recognition on all cameras and cross camera tracking. We need facial recognition on the doorbell cam and even bullet cams. The AI cams are 399 each jeepers.
They had this at the very beginning of their new platform for non AI cameras and then took it a way, for a while I thought I was daydreaming... but nah, pretty sure it was there and regular cameras are capable of doing this too
They never had facial recognition. The g4 cameras and higher can do smart person and vehicle detection
@@MactelecomNetworksThey did, one of their very first releases, then they took it away, left me double guessing myself for years, 100% they did, even better with G4 Pro cameras, I have to see if can find the screenshot I took back then, doubt it but yes, that was a thing
So we may or may not have an upcoming AI doorbell you say hey 👀👀👀👀👀
I have no clue 😂 but now they do facial recognition I could see it
@@MactelecomNetworks I don't see why the G4 Doorbell Pro model couldn't be able to do AI detections with just a firmware update.
hi
i'waitting for your answer
thank you
Wonder if there is anyway Home assistant can be triggered When Unifi detects objects?
Im just waiting for HA to update to work with 3.0.22
The upload to Google Drive shouldn't be automated. Think about it if it were local downloads that were automated. Your storage, or cloud storage, would fill up super fast. Having it manual means the process for saving footage remains the same, just to a different destination. If you want to automate it, use Home Assistant.
We need a solution for automation doesn’t need to be google drive, maybe pushing to a nas
@@MactelecomNetworks Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I don't like services automatically saving files to my storage, whether local or cloud. I like to be in control of that. I go through my detections every morning and save what I want to save. It's easier than sifting through auto-saves and deleting what I don't want.
I would appreciate an automated cloud backup. Detections only would be enough, and it would not fill up the cloud space too much.
If my home is broken into and they steal my networking gear because "ooh, valuable electronics", I lose my Protect storage and the recordings of the break-in too, so an automatic immediate cloud backup would be extremely valuable.
@@CharlieMermelstein that defeats the purporse of off site back up... you have an arson at location what are you gonna do to recover the footage?
Oh brother, a Catio 🙄🤣
Of course
Snow. They don't call it The Great White North for nothing. Burrrr
