Camera setup · UniFi Protect

Connect an UniFi Protect camera to VISEC.

UniFi cameras are managed by UniFi Protect rather than by their own web page, and Protect can publish an RTSP stream per camera. Switch that on and VISEC records it like any other camera.

First, try the easy way

Press scan.

VISEC searches your network for ONVIF cameras and lists what it finds. If your UniFi Protect camera already has ONVIF switched on, it appears here and you are watching live in a few seconds — nothing below is needed.

Turning RTSP on

If the camera does not appear.

Menu names move around between firmware versions, so treat these as the place to look rather than an exact path.

  1. Open UniFi Protect

    Sign in to the console that manages the cameras, not the camera itself.

  2. Find the camera's stream settings

    Each camera has an RTSP or advanced section where individual stream qualities can be published.

  3. Enable the quality you want

    Enabling a stream gives you a URL. Pick the higher quality for recording and plate reading; a lower one is lighter over a slow link.

  4. Add it in VISEC by address

    Use the URL Protect gave you. Because the stream comes from the console, a network scan may not list it.
