Unless it changed recently if you already have 3rd party cameras, it’s all but useless for any of those features. I am using Blue Iris/amcrest cameras and when I upgraded to a UDMP I was excited to try it with the new 3rd party camera support, but I can’t really do anything but record. No detection stuff. Ended up only adding one camera and giving up.
And their cameras, are damn expensive. I have 6 cameras outside covering most of my house. Entireity, swapping over to unifi ones is not in the budget.

+1 for Unifi Protect. Their hardware may be a bit pricey, but it doesn’t require any cloud/Internet connection and the app/interface is excellent.
I haven’t tried the 3rd party cam support, but I don’t think the price for the cameras is too outlandish for what they are and how well they’re built.
Iirc the Unifi Protect software can be self-hosted now too.
