min

UniFi Protect 6.1 introduces groundbreaking updates to alarms, cameras, and IoT devices, creating a smarter, more reliable, and more flexible security ecosystem. From advanced alarm management to next-gen cameras and intelligent sensors, this release raises the bar for what modern security can deliver.

Smarter Alarm Management

UniFi Protect 6.1 debuts a reimagined Alarm Manager with expanded capabilities. Camera tampering awareness, people-counting triggers, and the new Alarm Profiles give users powerful tools to create tailored security responses directly from the dashboard or mobile app.

  • Centralized alarm control with powerful automation
  • Camera tampering alerts to prevent blind spots
  • People-counting triggers for advanced monitoring
  • Alarm Profiles for quick, grouped responses
Alarm Profiles bring true arm/disarm control so you only get alerts when it matters.

Advanced Camera Imaging & Bitrate Control

A completely redesigned camera imaging engine provides unprecedented control over video quality. With precise bitrate tuning, users can now set exact minimum and maximum thresholds for each camera, ensuring consistent performance across different environments.

  • Set exact min/max bitrate for every camera
  • ROI encoding for sharper detail in focus zones
  • Optimized video quality in high-motion backgrounds

Region of Interest (ROI) encoding further enhances clarity by directing available bitrate to specific zones. This guarantees that critical areas always receive sharper detail especially useful in high-motion or background-heavy scenes.

ROI encoding ensures every pixel in critical zones gets the bandwidth it deserves.

Faster, Smarter Person Detection

UniFi Protect 6.1 enhances person detection by combining facial and body recognition for higher accuracy and lower latency. The updated “Find Anything” tool consolidates similar detections, making it easier to review people and vehicles without duplicates.

  • Faster event reporting with reduced latency
  • Improved face recognition with higher sensitivity
  • Smarter “Find Anything” with consolidated results
Detection is no longer just accurate; it’s streamlined for real-world efficiency.

Introducing the G6 Pro Bullet Camera

The G6 Pro Bullet marks the beginning of a new era for UniFi cameras. With a 1/1.2” 8MP 4K sensor, optical zoom, and IP66 weather resistance, it’s engineered for durability and precision in demanding environments.

  • 1/1.2” 8MP 4K sensor for stunning clarity in low light conditions
  • 2.36x optical zoom for flexible coverage
  • IP66-rated all-weather protection
  • First release in the high-performance G6 lineup
The G6 Pro Bullet blends 4K clarity with enterprise-grade resilience.

SuperLink Devices Expand the Ecosystem

UniFi Protect now goes beyond cameras with the first wave of SuperLink devices. The Environmental Sensor delivers real-time insights into your surroundings, while the PoE Siren adds powerful alarm capabilities, all with effortless setup.

  • Environmental Sensor: humidity, temperature, light, and leak detection
  • Instant setup with easy adoption to SuperLink Gateway
  • PoE Siren: 110 dB, rugged, all-weather audible alarms
SuperLink transforms Protect into a complete ecosystem of vision, environment, and response.

With UniFi Protect 6.1, alarms, video, detection, and IoT come together in a single, streamlined platform, redefining smart security for businesses and homes alike.
