Another update, another failure. – UniFi Protect Review

We Have Another Update! Once again with claims to support "local access" but without delivery. It's simply ludicrous at this point that this app still doesn't have true local access. To be clear: you are unable to manually type in the network information necessary to connect to a local nvr or protect instance on another vlan. Fairly important when using vlans. It doesn't even make sense that they would leave this out anymore. I don't even care if protect is good anymore, I'm out. This lack of support for manually entering nvr info is a deal breaker. I've put their cameras in RTSP mode and am using them with other software. If this matters to you, do yourself a favor and grab yourself ds cam (synology), blue iris or anything else capable at this point. Ill continue to look for the update for a few clients who can't leave the eco system just yet. But dang it feels good to find an alternative without having to buy new cameras. Piece out Unifi.
