- No searching required; Spotlights show what’s new as soon as you launch Protect
- Custom tracking adapts to your priorities using EdgeAI
Spotlights use EdgeAI to highlight key activity with no searching required.
Dwell Time and Multi-Camera Tracking
Protect 6.0 introduces dwell time overlays in both live and recorded video, allowing you to see how long a person or object remained in view. This makes it easier to understand behavior patterns and identify unusual activity at a glance.
- Real-time and playback dwell-time visibility
- Time-based overlays highlight presence duration
- Useful for monitoring lingering or loitering behavior
With one click, you can pause any frame, select a person or object, and instantly find every moment they appear across all cameras in your system. UniFi EdgeAI handles the heavy lifting, tracking subjects with precision and speed.
Frame-level object selection for fast investigation automatically finds subject appearances across multiple cameras reducing manual review time.
Protect 6.0 easily locates objects across all cameras.
Redesigned “Find Anything” Experience

Enhanced Timeline and Playback Experience
The new timeline shows quick, camera-specific object summaries, allowing instant playback from any detected event. Additional tools make reviewing large amounts of footage much more efficient.

- Spatial filters narrow search to defined zones
- Multi-camera scrubbing lets you review events across multiple feeds in parallel
Timeline review is now faster and more targeted.
Smarter Alarm Management
