Business security cameras that find what happened in minutes.

UniFi Protect cameras and UniFi Access doors in one dashboard. Footage stays on your premises, and there are no per-camera licence fees. We assess the site, install it and look after it.

The problem

Fragmented security costs more and shows less.

Cameras from one vendor, access cards from another, visitors in a spreadsheet. When something happens, the evidence is spread across systems, and the licence bills keep stacking up. We replace it with one UniFi system you own.

Smart cameras

Find what happened in minutes, not hours.

Find the moment fast

Search footage by person or vehicle instead of scrolling through hours of video, so an incident is found in minutes.

Face and number-plate recognition

Supported cameras can recognise faces and vehicle number plates. We help you set this up within the Privacy Act and your state surveillance laws, including signage.

Footage stays on your premises

Video records to a recorder in your building, not a third-party cloud, and there is no per-camera licence fee.

Sensors and alarms

Sensors and sirens that act on what happens.

UniFi Sense (UP-Sense)

UniFi Sense (UP-Sense)

Ubiquiti's battery-powered all-in-one sensor. Detects door activity, motion, light, temperature and humidity, and connects through a SuperLink Gateway or a Bluetooth-enabled U6 access point.

UniFi Entry Sensor (USL-Entry)

Wireless door and window sensor on UniFi SuperLink. Battery powered, with Ubiquiti rating battery life at up to six years. Triggers cameras and alerts when a door opens.

UniFi Siren (UP-Siren-PoE)

UniFi Siren (UP-Siren-PoE)

All-weather audible alarm rated at 110 dB, with emergency LED lighting, powered over one network cable. Triggers on intrusion detection or from the dashboard.

Alerts and actions from one place

UniFi Alarm Manager responds to sensor events such as water leaks, smoke, CO or extreme readings with push and email alerts, siren tones or PTZ camera moves.

Pull the tab to connect

Ubiquiti states that SuperLink sensors connect to a SuperLink Gateway automatically once the battery tab is pulled, ready for adoption.

Arm and disarm by profile

Alarm Profiles in UniFi Protect 6.1 group responses together, so alerts only fire when the site is armed.

What's included

Unified building security, end to end.

Smart AI analytics

Person, vehicle and package detection on supported cameras. Face and number plate recognition are built into AI-series cameras, or added to G4 and G5 cameras with a UniFi AI Key or AI Port. Search footage by detection and set alerts in Alarm Manager.

UniFi Protect cameras

No per-camera software licences or subscriptions. Adding cameras means buying hardware, not paying more each month, up to the capacity of your recorder. Each camera runs on a single PoE cable.

UniFi Access control

Licence-free door access control managed from the same dashboard as cameras. Support for NFC, PIN and mobile app unlock, with integrated intercom and doorbell functions.

Identity mobile app

One-tap door unlock with iPhone or Apple Watch via Apple Wallet, plus one-tap Wi-Fi and VPN connection for staff.

Vantage Point multi-site

Vantage Point combines live view and playback from up to five UniFi recorders in one screen, so cameras at several sites can be watched together.

Enhanced retention and storage

Older footage is kept at reduced quality to stretch storage, while recent recordings stay in full clarity. Cloud archiving to Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive.

What the 2026 breach data shows

Physical and digital security now sit on the same network

The Verizon 2026 DBIR shows IoT and OT devices are increasingly exploited as soft entry points into corporate networks. CCTV and access control deployed on segmented, hardened infrastructure with patched firmware is what stops a camera or door reader becoming the pivot for a larger incident.

Why it holds up

Hardware, support and cover behind every install.

Built not to fall over

Business-grade UniFi hardware supports backup internet links, spare power supplies and fans that can be swapped while it runs, so one failed part does not take the site down.

Ubiquiti behind our engineers

Ubiquiti offers paid 24/7 phone support plans for UniFi, so hard hardware problems can be escalated to the people who make it.

Up to five years of hardware cover

Ubiquiti's UI Care plans cover hardware for up to five years, with replacements shipped before the faulty unit goes back.

How it works

Priced before anything is installed.

  1. 01

    Survey

    We walk the site, or work from floor plans, and plan where access points, cameras and readers should go.

  2. 02

    Quote

    A fixed-price proposal with every device and cable run listed, before you commit.

  3. 03

    Install

    Cabled, configured and tested, then handed over with a short walk-through of the app.

  4. 04

    Look after it

    Alerts come to our engineers, firmware is updated on a schedule and settings are backed up. Most faults are fixed remotely, and Brisbane-based engineers attend when needed.

UniFi Protect Brisbane

Who installs UniFi Protect cameras in Brisbane?

Real Bytes installs UniFi Protect security cameras across Brisbane and South East Queensland. We are a Ubiquiti Professional Integrator, so we design camera placement, run the cabling, set up recording on your premises and support the system afterwards in the same app as your network and doors.

Do UniFi Protect cameras have licence fees?

No. UniFi Protect has no per-camera licence. Footage records to a UniFi console or network video recorder in your building, so the ongoing cost is the hardware and any support plan you choose, not a subscription per camera. Face and number plate recognition on G4 and G5 cameras need a one-off AI Key or AI Port. Optional add-ons such as UI Care are paid.

Can UniFi Protect integrate with door access?

Yes. UniFi Protect and UniFi Access run in the same app, so a door event can be matched with the camera footage from that door. Staff who manage the site see who opened a door and what the camera saw, without switching between systems.

Common questions

Building security: common questions.

What is the difference between UniFi Protect and traditional CCTV systems?
Traditional CCTV often means separate recorders and a separate access control system, each managed on its own. UniFi Protect puts AI detection, recording and access control in a single dashboard with no licence fees. Each camera installs on a single PoE cable.
Does my video data leave my building?
No. All video recording, storage, and AI detection happen locally on your UniFi NVR or Enterprise NVR within your building. Video never leaves your network unless you explicitly configure cloud archiving to Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive for backup.
Can I manage UniFi Protect across multiple locations?
Yes. Each site keeps its own recordings on a local UniFi recorder, and every site can be reached remotely through UniFi Site Manager or the mobile app. Vantage Point shows cameras from up to five recorders together in one view, with live feeds and playback.
Can UniFi Protect integrate with my existing cameras?
Often, yes. UniFi Protect can adopt ONVIF-compatible third-party cameras, which helps you move to UniFi in stages. Those cameras record, but they do not get UniFi's smart detections, so we usually replace them over time. We check which of your cameras are compatible first.
How much video can I store and for how long?
Storage depends on your NVR capacity, camera resolution, and frame rate. Enhanced Retention reduces older footage quality to extend retention to months or years. We size storage to the retention period you need. Off-site archiving to Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox or a network storage drive keeps copies beyond what the recorder holds.
Does UniFi Access work with my existing door locks and readers?
UniFi Access supports electric strike, electric bolt and magnetic locks, in fail-safe or fail-secure setups. The hub powers locks that draw 12V DC at up to 1A, and higher-voltage locks connect through a dry relay with an external power supply. The UniFi Retrofit Hub can reuse compatible third-party Wiegand readers and existing wiring. It does not currently support OSDP readers.
What unlock methods does UniFi Access support?
UniFi Access supports NFC cards, PIN codes, mobile app unlock and Touch Pass, which adds a door key to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. Users can unlock doors with their iPhone, Apple Watch, or Android phone. Pocket Keyfobs provide physical backup access.
