How To Access Ubiquiti Unifi G4 Pro Live Feed Remotely On Your Mobile Device

by

Accessing the live feed from your Ubiquiti Unifi G4 Pro camera remotely on your mobile device allows you to monitor your property from anywhere. This guide provides step-by-step instructions to set up remote viewing securely and efficiently.

Prerequisites for Remote Access

  • Ubiquiti Unifi G4 Pro camera installed and connected to your network
  • Unifi Network Controller set up and accessible
  • A stable internet connection
  • Ubiquiti’s mobile app (Unifi Protect or Unifi Network)
  • Proper port forwarding configured on your router
  • Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service set up if you don’t have a static IP

Configure Your Network for Remote Access

To view your camera feed remotely, you need to enable port forwarding on your router. This allows external devices to access your local network securely.

Setting Up Port Forwarding

Access your router’s admin interface, locate the port forwarding section, and create a new rule:

  • Set the external port (e.g., 7443 for HTTPS)
  • Forward it to the internal IP address of your Unifi Controller or camera
  • Use the appropriate internal port (usually 443 for HTTPS)
  • Save the configuration

If your ISP assigns a dynamic IP address, set up a DDNS service to keep track of your IP changes. Many routers support DDNS providers like No-IP or DuckDNS.

Accessing the Camera Feed on Your Mobile Device

Once your network is configured, follow these steps to view your camera remotely:

Using the Ubiquiti Mobile App

  • Download and install the Unifi Protect app from your app store
  • Open the app and select “Add Controller” or “Remote Access”
  • Enter your DDNS hostname or public IP address
  • Input your login credentials for the Unifi Controller
  • Save and connect to view the live feed

Using a Web Browser

Open a web browser on your mobile device and enter:

https://your-ddns-hostname:7443

Log in with your credentials to access the live feed.

Security Tips

  • Use strong, unique passwords for your controller and DDNS account
  • Enable two-factor authentication if available
  • Keep your firmware and apps updated
  • Limit port forwarding to necessary ports only
  • Consider using a VPN for added security

Conclusion

With proper setup, you can easily access your Ubiquiti Unifi G4 Pro camera’s live feed remotely on your mobile device. Follow these steps carefully to ensure a secure and reliable connection, giving you peace of mind wherever you are.
