There was a lot of drama around Ubiquity a few years back. Happy to see the company is still alive and the indicator that they're coming back around to self hosting. All the hardware I bought a decade ago is still running fine (without any of the cloud software) and it looks like their newer stuff would be worth the upgrade (10gb everywhere, easily, at last).
As far as I can see, they still flirt with vendor lock in. None of their cameras supported ONVIF when I researched this previously. Nice hardware, lame software choices, IMO.
They support ONVIF now in their backend.
The "UniFi Protect" NVR server can ingest a feed from a 3rd party ONVIF camera, but I don't believe Ubiquiti's own cameras can expose themselves over ONVIF. Their camera's still seemed locked to their NVR software. (Though they do have a very basic managment interface hosted on themselves, and you can ssh into them)
Ubiquiti NVR does not support ONVIF on-camera detected motion events.
truth, didn't mean to imply otherwise.

Got a link? I'm curious about which profile(s) and does this mean that it's still proprietary between the NVR and camera but from the NVR I can get an onvif profile compatible feed?
You can bring ONVIF compatible camera into NVR, but you won't get any detections unless you use AI Key...

I've noticed a lot less Ubiquiti hate comments on HN since that one employee got arrested.
