AI-Key Ubiquiti UniFi Edge AI appliance

Does AI Key provide equal benefit to all Protect camera models?

AI Key only works as well as the data provided from the cameras. Protect AI series cameras offer longer-range, higher-quality smart detections giving AI Key a larger range of coverage. Any event not recognized as a smart detection by the camera will not be processed by AI Key.

Speech transcription is only available with Protect AI series cameras that support speech smart detections.

How accurate is AI Key Natural Language Search?

AI Key natural language search is ideal for locating specific detections using simple phrases like "FedEx truck" or "person walking a dog." It works best with concise queries related to people and vehicles. Only detections processed by the AI Key are included in the results. The models used by AI Key provide improved functionality, but they might occasionally return inaccurate results. Over time these models will be optimized to improve their accuracy and add additional features.

Does AI Key integrate with Alarm Manager?

Yes, AI Key integrates with Alarm Manager. Up to five natural language search queries can be configured to trigger alarms when matches occur above the selected confidence threshold.

How does AI Key process Smart Detections?

AI Key processes smart detections in the order received via an internal queue.

• Queue Limit: 200 events (excess detections are discarded).
• Recommendation: Use additional AI Keys or reduce paired cameras if the queue is frequently overloaded.

How long does AI Key take to process Detections?

The time to return results depends on queue length. A full queue can delay processing up to 15 minutes.

How many cameras can AI Key support?

AI Key can pair with an unlimited number of cameras, but it has a processing capacity of 1,000 smart detections per hour.

What types of cameras are compatible with AI Key?

AI Key pairs with all Protect cameras that support smart detections, including:

• G4 Series
• G5 Series
• G6 Series
• AI Series
• Cameras connected via AI Port

How does Face and License Plate Recognition work with AI Key?

AI Key adds face and license plate recognition for Protect G4/G5 cameras, with a higher capacity than AI Port. However, AI Port offers real-time processing, while AI Key's results depend on queue length.

How many AI Keys do I need for my environment?

Each AI Key can process up to 1,000 smart detections per hour. For high-traffic environments or setups with many active cameras, additional AI Keys can prevent queue overloads and maintain optimal performance. There is no limit to the number of AI Keys connected to one console.
