Comment on Unifi Protect - Wife Approval Factor? +HA integration

antsu@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

No idea how it compares to Ring, but my wife is a severe technophobe and she had no issues or complaints with Protect. We only have one doorbell + one camera connected to a CloudKey+ though, so your mileage may vary.

Motion detection works reasonably well as far as I can tell, with person, vehicle and animal detection too.

Regarding the doorbell, one option you have is to try finding a second-hand Unifi G4 Doorbell (non-pro). It can be wired with only the two wires you already have. Just make sure you have relatively good 5GHz WiFi reception near your front door, because the 2.4GHz antennas on this model are notably bad.
