pyunifiprotect VS unifi-protect-remux

Also, MANIFEST.in is not required. There is no such file in this project of mine. It is fully handled by the packing pipeline.

Hello! I am the current maintainer of the Python library pyunifiprotect. I have never made a post for the library on here before, but I figured it was finally time with the recent Backup CLI I started adding features to.

That is not correct. The option is just not exposed in the frontend on any of the official applications. I exposed the option in both the UniFi Protect CLI/library I made and it is exposed as service in Home Assistant as well.

"Privacy Mode" is basically a compute feature provided by pyunifiprotect, which is what Home Assistant uses. The switch in HA does exactly what I said in Protect terms:

But I do I have a WIP PR to get a Docker container up for people to use. https://github.com/briis/pyunifiprotect/pull/194. Unfortunately, it is pretty big (~700MB) because ffmpeg is a fat boy.

If you want to pair multiple doorbells, you can either use pyunifiprotect or Home Assistant.

I would recommend checking out https://github.com/briis/pyunifiprotect to see what’s available. Also if you want to download historical events you can use https://github.com/danielfernau/unifi-protect-video-downloader

OSS project we have a Container configuration for (for reference): https://github.com/briis/pyunifiprotect/blob/master/.devcontainer/devcontainer.json

If you can rsync over the .ubv files, you could use unifi-protect-remix to convert them to .mp4 files.

A feature I really liked about the Unifi Protect platform was the option to select a portion of video using a timeline slider, and it would then extract those parts and concatenate them into a downloaded file. The problem with Protect is that they use proprietary UBV files for storage and the only other way to bulk export was using a remux tool.

I came across this unifi-protect-remux github project that is supposed to convert UVB files to MP4 and might be useful. The setup there could be complicated.

use this remux tool to convert the video files from .ubv to .mp4

One other thing I did is I whipped up a perl script that converted all the video files from the UDM-PRO drive into mp4 files on another drive, using the unifi protect remux program. It's not the best program (I'm a sysadmin, not a software developer) but it worked for me. It took just under 30 hours to do just shy of 7TB of ubv files. I went from:
