The premium local-first option: PoE-powered with dual cameras (5MP front + 8MP package cam), fully local via the excellent native unifiprotect integration, zero subscription. The catch is the ecosystem tax — it doesn't work standalone; it needs a UniFi Protect host, and even the cheapest viable one (a Cloud Gateway Ultra or similar console) adds a meaningful chunk on the doorbell's own £300-447 street price. Genuinely worth it if you already run UniFi gear and want one more device on the same console; a poor first purchase otherwise. Want a reliable local doorbell without buying into a console? The Reolink Video Doorbell PoE gets local RTSP for a fraction of the cost.
What can Home Assistant control on the Ubiquiti UniFi G4 Doorbell Pro PoE Kit?
| Control | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Doorbell ring | Event | Fires on button press; carries an event ID used to pull the associated ring clip from the Protect media browser. |
| Package detected | Event | Fires separately for package delivered vs package retrieved, using the doorbell's dedicated package-view lens rather than the main sensor. |
| Person/vehicle/animal detected | Event | Smart detection events with optional confidence score and thumbnail; vehicle events can attach license-plate data where supported. |
| Fingerprint identified | Event | Fires on fingerprint reader use with an identified/not-identified state tying the scan to a named UniFi Access user. |
| NFC card scanned | Event | Fires on NFC tap, identifying which registered card or fob was used. |
| Is dark | Binary sensor | Low-light state used to gate automations that should only run at night, independent of the camera's own IR switching. |
The unifiprotect integration exposes the doorbell's smart detections as first-class event entities rather than generic binary sensors — separate events fire for person, vehicle, and animal detection, plus a dedicated package delivered/retrieved event pair, each carrying attributes you can pull straight into automation conditions. It's a local-push integration with no polling, but early adopters hit a websocket subscription bug that froze the HA UI on this exact doorbell model, and package-detection events have a history of silently failing to trigger after certain Protect firmware updates — both fixed upstream now, but worth flagging if a user reports missed events after an update.
