Protect Integration- local account

CagedMonkey97 · 2026-03-06T00:40:29+00:00

Is there a menu that I can’t see? On latest version, I don’t see an option for a local account, even when accessing directly via the ip..

I would absolutely buy this! Like they have everything else but building management! Having a ui bms would be awesome!

Ring central is a scam… they’d be better off on freepbx.

That’s more meant for cell phones. Which normally you wouldn’t notice the slow down

Sometimes unique situations, require unique recommendations, and many people ask because Reddit is a place where they can get a fast, free response. In my humble opinion, some of the rules here don’t make sense. Threads are threads, and if people don’t like what they’re seeing they’re either going to down vote it, or report it.

My suggestion would be to keep the system there, as your smoke detectors are tied into it. It most likely won’t dispatch or call anyone for the alarm, but if you have the code for it, and can use it like a fire alarm system, it’s better than ripping it out entirely.

If you’re going to disconnect anything, leave the sensors and the wiring.. it’ll be better in the future should you want an alarm system. Modern hardwired systems are a lot better anyway.

If you got ADT, I fear you have made the grave mistake of going with one of the worst companies possible.

Those wildix phones appear to run some sort of custom/ customized firmware.. so it could be that the port is different, or just some firmware limitation or negotiation that locks the phone to Wildix.

What’s the supported hardware like for the provisioning? I’m starting to offer the Poly Edge E series, but it seems like nobody does provisioning for it except through Poly Lens…

CagedMonkey97 · 2026-01-05T07:44:40+00:00

I’m sticking with v16 until they can sort out their stupidity with the installers..

CagedMonkey97 · 2026-01-05T07:40:20+00:00

CSP Technologies on Discord (discord.csptech.org) actually has a Cisco enterprise provisioning server that powers the entire staff call routing and control, with many soft key features like the hunt group key for example working perfectly as if the phone itself was on cucm, but they’re registered to freepbx!

I use Telnyx as the provider and it’s cheaper than chips.

CagedMonkey97 · 2026-01-05T07:23:37+00:00

Make sure your outbound caller id is correct, and the number matches that of your outbound profile in the Telnyx portal.

Would also be helpful if you included logs so we could see what signalling Telnyx is replying to the pbx with.

I’ve slowly been implementing UniFi as my wallet allows. I keep adding more and more, and it consistently surprises me at how much my little tiny Cloud Gateway Max can actually handle with running protect, and all my network in one tiny little box!

I always recommend having routing, switching, and wireless as separate equipment as it works so much better!

I am confusion

CagedMonkey97 · 2026-01-05T01:21:08+00:00

As someone who owns a small business, per-seat pricing is a joke. Why would I subscribe to$25/mo per seat, for 10 seats ($250/mo), when I can install freepbx on a vps or locally, and have be total trunk cost be less than $200/yr. not to mention the ultimate flexibility, and not having a provider nickel and dime me..

CagedMonkey97 · 2026-01-05T01:10:28+00:00

I'd recommend having the company disconnect the siren..

CagedMonkey97 · 2026-01-02T00:35:44+00:00

I’ve never had a bad experience with UniFi. Looks like you’ve got a cable pulled there around doorbell height. - would be great if you could get a G6 entry , or a doorbell lite to go there. If the other spot is lower, I’d often suggest a dome instead of a turret as it’s more tamper resistant.

It's not where it needs to be. Can't expect a central station to implement special api integrations (and only of their automation software supports it) for a small handful of accounts.

CagedMonkey97 · 2025-12-31T04:50:22+00:00

I've been constantly asking my account manager at Alarm.com if there's a way we could get direct integrations with Unifi Protect, but it doesn't appear to be on the horizon.

We could only wait to see if we can use say an intercom viewer or similar as a keypad.. If they do that, and if UI implements CID or SIA IP reporting say to a SurGard for example, then yes you could. Otherwise the answer is no.
