End of Life Details

Ubiquiti UniFi Video is End of Life as of Jan 2021 with support officially ending on 15th January 2021.

Ubiquiti have officially clarified what this entails in their announcement earlier in the year:

No software or hardware revisions will be released, including for web UI and mobile applications.
No customer support will be available.
No security updates.
All cloud operations will be shut down and video.ui.com will no longer be accessible.

There should be no issues with directly accessing your controller within the network via a web browser, but you may need to configure a VPN for remote access (for more information, please visit this help center article). Please consult your IT Provider if you are unsure what options are available to you for remotely accessing your network.

Cloud Access via video.ui.com will remain active until January 15th 2021 to coincide with the End of Support Date (This has been extended from the original January 1st 2021 End Date). Existing installs of Mobile Apps will continue to work but may require some reconfiguration to use a local account and to use a VPN.

Ubiquiti announced the End of Life of UniFi Video earlier in the year here.

UniFi Protect

UniFi Protect is the replacement and successor to UniFi Video. It supports many of the same cameras and features as Video making upgrading to Protect relatively straightforward and painless. Protect does REQUIRE a new NVR though as the old UniFi Video NVRs are not forwards compatible with Protect.

UniFi Protect currently supports the following UniFi Video camera models:

UVC, UVC-Dome, UVC-Pro
All G2 cameras
UVC-G3, UVC-G3-Flex, UVC-G3-Dome, UVC-G3-Micro, UVC-G3-Pro
UVC-G4-Bullet, UVC-G4-Pro
