AI Key is an advanced edge AI appliance designed to elevate your UniFi Protect security system. It enhances detection capabilities with powerful features like NeXT AI natural language search, AI alerts, speech transcription, image enhancement. Setting up the AI Key is quick and straightforward, allowing you to unlock advanced AI-driven insights that transform how you monitor and secure your environment.

AI Key works as an edge appliance by receiving smart detections from paired UniFi cameras. Traditionally, Protect cameras are only able to recognize very basic objects such as people and vehicles. AI Key takes these basic smart detections and runs them through a series of advanced AI models to provide powerful new features. While the models used by AI Key provide many useful new features, they might occasionally return inaccurate results. Over time these models will be optimized to improve their accuracy and add additional features.
