UniFi Protect Smart Detections

Know what happened. Find the moment that matters.

A person at the entrance. A vehicle on the driveway. UniFi Protect can identify these events on compatible cameras, helping you find relevant recordings without scrolling through hours of video.

  • See people and vehicles. Smart Detections distinguish these events from general motion, making it easier to review arrivals and activity around your property.
  • Focus your alerts. Detection zones and Alarm Manager let us tailor notifications to the areas and events you care about. Exclusion zones can reduce alerts from passing traffic or moving trees.
  • Find and review events. Filter recordings by detection type in Protect's Find Anything view, then open the relevant footage to see what happened.

Configured for your property. Clear plans camera placement, sets up detection zones and alerts, and shows you how to retrieve recordings. Detection accuracy depends on the view, lighting and setup.

Features vary by camera and hardware. Face and license plate recognition require supported equipment; advanced natural-language search may require additional hardware such as UniFi AI Key. We confirm capabilities when designing your system.

Plan your camera coverage

Home Security Camera Installation in Santa Rosa

We start with the views you need: a visitor at the front door, activity on the driveway, a side gate or access to a detached garage. Camera placement depends on distance, available lighting and mounting height, as well as neighboring windows and private spaces.

For a five-camera or larger home system, we plan the cameras, wiring, network connections and recording equipment as one installation. We check existing cable routes and discuss how to conceal new cabling where the building allows it. Detached buildings may need a separate connection plan.

Before handing over the system, we show you how to view live video, find recorded events and manage viewing access in UniFi Protect. Remote viewing requires a working internet connection; the recording equipment and settings determine how footage is retained.

Our Santa Rosa-based team offers a free one-hour onsite estimate and site walk for qualifying projects. Share your address, the areas you want to cover and any existing cameras so we can discuss a practical starting point.

Coverage for Entrances, Driveways and Outdoor Spaces

We plan views of the areas that matter to you while considering neighboring windows and private spaces. We will explain camera placement and viewing access so you know what your system can—and cannot—show.

I used Eric and his son years ago and they were superb at fixing my complicated and varied set-up. Two weeks ago, Devin did the same with our new issues. Like Eric, Devin was thorough, highly competent, generous with his time, patience and kindness. He followed thru to check on all services he had provided. He responded to all requests very quickly, even in off-hours. I recommend this team enthusiastically!

What You Need to Know Before CCTV Installation [2026 Guide]

Before installing CCTV cameras, it helps to slow down and plan. The best systems start long before the first hole is drilled. You need to know what you want to protect, how you’ll record the footage, and whether your network can handle the extra load
