This is an electron app for unifi protect liveview build by Sebastian Loer. This version was testet with unifi protect v3.0.22 (Version 2.x is also compatible) running on an UDM-Pro.
This app allows you to view your liveview from a simple app with automatic login. Just configure your unifi protect address and credentials and the app will automaticly login and present you the liveview you selected.
Just start the application and enter your credentials and url to your unifi protect instance.
Example Link: https://192.168.1.1/protect/liveview/635e65bd000c1c0387005a5f (Version 2)
Example Link: https://192.168.1.1/protect/dashboard/635e65bd000c1c0387005a5f (Version 2)
The Link needs to be set to the IP-address of your Unifi Protect installation. You can simply copy the link from your browser while viewing the liveview on your unifi protect instance.
Ether you can download this application from github or build it yourself with this repository.
Copy the finished build to a location of your choice. Then you can start the application from this directory.
Install all dependencies with the npm install or npm i command. After this you can build the application yourself for your needed platform.
For some platforms there are scripts inside the package.json.
npm run build:ia32:windows
npm run build:x64:macos
npm run build:arm64:macos
npm run build:x64:linux
After configuration the app will automaticly start the liveview after startup. If you want to change the configuration or when you misspell your credentials you can press F10 to reset all settings and restart the configuration process.
