Easy Automation with Webhook Generator and Open API
Ever wanted your camera to flag a delivery, or get a clip when the shop opens? Now you can set it up in minutes—no technical skills required.
The new Webhook Generator lets you create simple actions like:
-
Saving video when a door opens.
-
Triggering alerts for unusual activity.
It works alongside UniFi’s Open API, which also allows advanced setups for those who want to connect cameras with other systems.
Smarter Alarm Reactions with PTZ Camera Integration
The improved Alarm Manager means your cameras can now work together more intelligently:
-
If one camera detects motion, another can automatically turn to capture the action.
-
This means better coverage and less chance of missing key moments.
Plus, the G4 Doorbell now allows you to play pre-recorded voice messages—great for deliveries or letting guests know you’ll be right there.
Custom Interface Design with UniFi Access 3.2
Set to launch in Early Access on 18 April, UniFi Access 3.2 update lets you customise what people see when they use your UniFi intercom or access reader:
-
Add your logo, contact details or specific instructions to the screen.
-
Works great for flats, shared office buildings, or small businesses that want a professional touch.
You can even connect with other calling systems using new SIP support.
Enhanced Security with Two-Person Authentication
Need to restrict access to certain rooms or areas? UniFi now supports two-person unlocking, meaning:
-
Two users must present credentials to open the door.
-
Ideal for stockrooms, equipment rooms or any area you want to keep extra secure.
It’s easy to set up and guides users through the process with on-screen prompts.
