Considering UniFi Protect, should they actually become available.
Questioning if adding UniFi Protect cameras controlled by UniFi NVR will play well together with USW and Unifi APs currently managed by a self hosted Unifi Network OS (aka unifi controller) (Debian 10 + deb http://www.ubnt.com/downloads/unifi/debian stable ubiquiti).
My firewall is pfSense.
It’s October 2023, and I’m running into the same question/issue.
I just bought a G4 Doorbell and UNVR, and it is asking me to setup [the doorbell] in the Protect app. I open the app, but it appears to be looking for a UniFiOS Console. It does not recognize I have a self-hosted controller.
My controller can see the NVR, but I can’t adopt it.
Hopefully @LTS_Tom has some insight into this.
That’s one of 2 issues I’m having (I’ll make a separate post for that).
The UniFi cameras and doorbell connect to the UniFi NVR, not the UniFi network controller.
Unifi NVR is a standalone unit, and has a web console to manage cameras and doorbells
If is not managed by Unifi Controller
Thank you. I just managed to get it all set up. I found that all the hard way. lol
I still don’t know why I was having all those issues. Meh, It’s working now. That’s all that matters.
Right now I got it connected to my main network. When I find time, I’ll try moving it to the camera vlan I created.
