UniFi Protect version 7 offers a local-first security camera platform with AI detection, facial recognition, smart alerts, and no subscription fees. All processing runs on hardware you own, with no footage leaving your network. The review covers hardware selection (NVRs, cameras, AI Key), the Design Center planning tool, real-world features like 'Find Anything' image search, smart zones, loitering detection, audio detection, alarm customization with webhooks, multi-camera synchronized playback, and case management for sharing clips. A Ubiquiti account is optional and only brokers remote access, not footage storage.
