Overview
- The Ubiquiti AI Key is a dedicated edge AI appliance that transforms UniFi Protect video surveillance into an intelligent threat detection system. By processing video feeds locally at the edge, it provides real-time AI analysis without relying on cloud connectivity, ensuring faster response times and improved privacy compliance.
Capable of analysing up to 1,800 detection events per hour, the AI Key delivers contextual threat intelligence directly to your security team. It automatically sharpens face recognition images, transcribes speech events, and provides detailed object descriptions—all critical capabilities for rapid incident response and forensic investigation.
Designed for enterprise deployments, the AI Key integrates seamlessly with existing UniFi Protect installations via PoE++ power delivery. The integrated touchscreen provides local status monitoring and configuration, whilst advanced natural language retrieval allows security teams to search footage using everyday language rather than complex filters.

FAQs
What is the Ubiquiti AI Key and how does it work?
The AI Key is an edge AI appliance that processes video feeds locally from UniFi Protect cameras. It uses artificial intelligence to detect threats, analyse objects and people, transcribe speech, and provide contextual alerts—all without relying on cloud connectivity.
How many events can the AI Key process per hour?
The AI Key can analyse up to 1,800 smart detection events per hour, making it suitable for multi-camera deployments and high-traffic environments.
What power supply does the AI Key require?
The AI Key connects and powers via PoE++ (Power over Ethernet Plus), eliminating the need for separate power cables. This simplifies installation and reduces infrastructure requirements.
Can the AI Key enhance face recognition accuracy?
Yes. The AI Key automatically sharpens face recognition images to improve identification accuracy, which is valuable for security teams conducting investigations or searching for specific individuals.
Does the AI Key require cloud connectivity?
No. The AI Key processes video analysis at the edge (locally), reducing latency and eliminating dependency on cloud services. This improves response times and supports offline operation.
What is natural language retrieval and how is it useful?
Natural language retrieval allows security teams to search video footage using everyday language (e.g., 'person in red jacket') rather than complex technical filters. This significantly speeds up forensic investigations.
Is the AI Key compatible with existing UniFi Protect systems?
Yes. The AI Key is designed to integrate seamlessly with UniFi Protect deployments. Consult the setup guide or contact Hyetech Australia for specific compatibility and integration requirements.
