Protect still needs cloud to be activated for authentication it seems.
I used to have remote access turned off and accessed the video streams via the iOS app when my phone was on VPN to the local network. That no longer works. Remote access (cloud) needs to be activated in order for the iOS app to work, no matter if you are on the local network or not.
- nickphx 6y agoi've run my own controller locally for years without forced cloud login.. i've never used the ios app, what can you do from it that you can't do from the web interface?
- nullsocket 6y agoHe said Protect, which is only part of the newer Gen2 cloudkeys (controller + video surveillance). The app just lets you manage the basic config of your devices and see network stats. There is a separate app for viewing your security cameras via Unifi cloud.
- croutonwagon 6y agoWhen did that start? My controller is only on 6.0.43 but i can access it via iOS app on VPN. My contoller only does Wireless/AP management though. nothing more.
- nullsocket 6y agoHe said Protect, which only comes on the new cloud key gen2 devices and requires a Unifi cloud account. The old stand-alone controller (key or installer) does not unless you tie it to your Unifi cloud account.
