A Dashboard That Adapts to You

The redesigned dashboard introduces native layout customization, allowing you to dynamically resize and reposition camera streams to reflect how you actually work.

  • Fully customizable live view layouts
  • Drag, resize, and prioritize streams in real time
  • Designed for operators managing complex environments
Protect 7.0 transforms live monitoring into an adaptive operational workspace.

Smarter Context and Instant Visual Awareness

Context tracking has been enhanced to present unique detections within continuous motion sessions, dramatically reducing repetitive alerts and surfacing what truly matters. At the same time, thumbnail previews now visualize motion paths directly within the preview window, giving operators immediate spatial awareness before playback even begins.

  • Consolidated motion events for cleaner timelines
  • Intelligent detection grouping to reduce noise
  • Motion paths embedded directly in thumbnails
  • Faster incident triage with visual context upfront
Detection clustering combined with embedded motion vectors delivers actionable clarity in seconds.

Private AI-Powered Image Search

For the first time, you can upload an image to find matches across your deployment. Powered locally by the UniFi AI Key, this feature ensures fast and private inference without reliance on the cloud.

  • Image-based search across all cameras
  • Fully local AI processing
  • No cloud dependency
  • Rapid match identification
On-device AI inference enables secure, low-latency visual search.

Refined Timeline and Case Management

The timeline has been redesigned with a smoother multi-playback workflow and improved recordings management. The new Tag Manager simplifies large-scale camera organization, while Case Manager now enables team collaboration across investigations.

  • Streamlined recordings management
  • Multi-camera synchronized playback
  • Centralized tagging simplifies device organization in large sites.
  • Collaborative case workflows
Unified case collaboration eliminates investigative silos.

Smarter Storage and True Redundancy

Protect 7.0 introduces intelligent storage budgeting to extend recording capacity without sacrificing critical footage. Improved offsite archiving now sends a second copy of detections in real time to your chosen destination.

  • Intelligent storage optimization
  • Real-time offsite detection backup
  • Enhanced redundancy architecture
  • Built-in rollback support
Dynamic storage allocation maximizes retention without compromising evidence integrity.

A Mobile Experience Reimagined

The mobile app has advanced rapidly with improved streaming performance and a redesigned interface that maximizes every inch of screen space.

  • Faster and smoother streaming
  • Optimized interface for mobile devices
  • Full operational control on the go
Optimized mobile streaming ensures consistent performance across variable networks.

Alarm Hub: Built for Modern and Legacy Systems

The all-new Alarm Hub supports both new deployments and retrofits with 32 wired alarm inputs, programmable relays, tamper detection, and integrated battery backup.

  • 32 zone wired alarm inputs
  • Optional end-of-line resistor monitoring
  • Flexible programmable relay outputs
  • Built-in battery backup and charging support
High-density zone integration bridges modern management with legacy intrusion infrastructure.

High Availability Without Compromise

Pair Alarm Hub with the upcoming Superlink High-Availability Gateway to ensure alarm notifications are delivered over cellular if the primary connection goes down. For additional peace of mind, UniFi Monitoring powered by Noonlight delivers professional monitoring in a plug-and-play model.

  • Automatic cellular failover
  • Elimination of single points of failure
  • Professional monitoring integration for sensors and video
  • Deployment-ready architecture
Cellular failover ensures uninterrupted alarm signaling under adverse conditions.

Expanded Sensor and Automation Ecosystem

We are also introducing a dedicated glass break sensor for reliable forced entry detection and a compact UniFi relay module capable of automating doorbell chimes, garage doors, water shutoff valves, lights, and more.

  • Acoustic glass break and motion detection
  • Flexible automation relay module
  • Broad integration capabilities
  • Enhanced perimeter protection
Precision acoustic sensing strengthens perimeter intrusion detection.

Enterprise NVR Core: Performance at Scale

The Enterprise NVR Core is engineered for large campuses and enterprise environments, supporting up to 600 HD cameras or 350 4K cameras with virtually limitless storage scalability.

  • 500 HD and 300 4K camera support
  • Massive storage scalability
  • Designed for enterprise deployments
High-density video orchestration delivers uncompromising throughput at scale.

Infinite Scale with Fabrics

With Fabrics in Site Manager, you can scale deployments infinitely and manage every location through a single unified interface, completely license-free.

  • Infinite deployment scalability
  • Centralized multi-site credential and identity management
  • Unified operational control
  • No licensing fees
License-free fabric architecture enables frictionless global scalability.

Protect 7.0 redefines what modern physical security should look like.
