In this video, we’re exploring an exciting and long-awaited feature for UniFi Protect users: the ability to add ONVIF cameras! For years, UniFi Protect has been a go-to for Ubiquiti enthusiasts, but it’s always come with a major limitation – only Ubiquiti cameras were supported, locking out third-party options. But now, with ONVIF camera support enabled, UniFi Protect users finally have the option to add compatible ONVIF cameras to their security setup. This opens up new possibilities and flexibility for UniFi Protect, but is it really as simple and seamless as it sounds?

Join me as I try out this new ONVIF camera feature in UniFi Protect for the first time. I’ll walk you through the setup process, step-by-step, and share my honest experience testing this new capability. Does UniFi Protect really support ONVIF cameras smoothly, or is there a catch to be aware of? Will UniFi Protect be able to deliver the same level of reliability and integration with an ONVIF camera as it does with native Ubiquiti cameras? And just how easy is it to get a non-Ubiquiti ONVIF camera working within the UniFi Protect ecosystem?

In this video, we’ll dive into the details of using ONVIF cameras in UniFi Protect, from the initial setup to the actual performance and functionality. I’ll be sharing the pros, the cons, and any unexpected challenges I encounter along the way. Whether you’re a UniFi Protect user curious about expanding your system or just interested in seeing how Ubiquiti has approached this long-requested feature, this video has you covered.

In this video i used a Reolink camera that supports ONVIF and was able to adopt in into UniFi Protect. make sure, if you are planning to use 3rd party cameras in UniFi Protect to purchase cameras that support the ONVIF protocol. ONVIF Cameras in UniFi Protect will require this. also, you will need to enable this feature inside UniFi Protect, this is shown in the video.

If you’re considering adding an ONVIF camera to UniFi Protect or just want to know if this new feature is worth trying, watch along as we explore every detail and answer the big question: What’s the catch with ONVIF cameras in UniFi Protect? Don’t miss out on this in-depth look at one of UniFi Protect’s most surprising and game-changing updates!
