## Summary description

UBIQUITI AI-Key is a gateway/controller designed for network management and edge processing. It features an ARM Cortex-A78AE processor in a steel-coloured aluminium enclosure, 1 Gbit/s Ethernet interface, and support for PoE++ (4PPoE). Power input is 50–57 V with maximum consumption up to 45 W. Suited for small to medium deployments requiring secure management and reliable wired connectivity.

## Long description

AI Key is an edge AI appliance that enhances a UniFi Protect security system by processing smart detections from paired UniFi cameras. It accepts basic camera detections — such as people and vehicles — and runs them through advanced AI models to provide features like natural language search (NeXT AI), AI alerts, speech transcription, and image enhancement. The device uses an ARM Cortex-A78AE processor in an aluminium enclosure and connects via a 1 Gbit/s Ethernet interface with PoE++ support, offering a compact solution for adding AI-driven analysis to Protect deployments.
Advantages
AI Key expands camera capabilities without replacing existing cameras by performing edge processing on received detections. It supports natural language search for faster event lookup, generates AI alerts and speech transcripts, and improves image quality with enhancement models. The appliance is designed for straightforward setup and integrates with the UniFi Protect workflow. Note that AI models may occasionally return imperfect results; firmware and model updates will improve accuracy and add functionality over time.
Suitable for
Small to medium UniFi Protect deployments that need advanced detection and analysis
Environments where edge processing and reduced cloud dependency are preferred
Setups requiring PoE++ power delivery and reliable wired connectivity
Key specifications
Processor: ARM Cortex-A78AE
Ethernet: 1 Gbit/s
Power: PoE++ (4PPoE) support, 50–57 V input, up to 45 W consumption
Enclosure: aluminium (steel-coloured)
Connectivity for UniFi Protect camera detections and edge AI processing
How to use
Connect the AI Key to your network using the 1 Gbit/s Ethernet port and supply power via PoE++ or compatible power source. Pair the appliance with your UniFi Protect system so it can receive smart detections from cameras. Configure AI Key through the UniFi interface to enable desired features such as NeXT AI natural language search, AI alerts, speech transcription, and image enhancement. Monitor model outputs and adjust settings as needed within the Protect management console.
Usage recommendations
Deploy AI Key in locations with stable wired network connectivity and sufficient PoE++ power. Keep firmware and AI model packages up to date to benefit from accuracy improvements. Where precise identification is critical, corroborate AI results with original camera footage and use AI alerts as a supplementary detection layer rather than the sole source of truth.
