UniFi Protect live view for Windows, one window per camera, across several consoles.

New in 1.3.0

  • Installer. ProtectPanes-Setup.exe installs for your Windows user, with no admin prompt. It adds Start menu and desktop shortcuts and an uninstaller in Settings → Apps. The zip is still here for portable use.
  • Layout editor (Layouts → New layout…). Pick a screen and a grid (2×2, 1+5, 1+7, 3×3, 2+8, 1+12, 4×4, 5×5…), then drag cameras onto the tiles, or start from what's already on screen. Each 360° camera can show as Quad (the default), Single view, Panorama or Fisheye in its tile. Save it, or save and apply it.
  • Arrange. One click tiles the camera windows on a screen: either the best-fitting grid for that screen's resolution and shape (16:9, ultrawide, portrait), or one of the fixed layouts. The top-left camera gets the big tile. Optionally each camera's stream quality follows its tile size, so a wall of small tiles doesn't decode 4K.
  • Close all per console, next to Show all.
  • A cleaner camera list. It has Cameras / Layouts / Settings tabs, a camera search, and hover tips on every control. Edit, Reconnect and Remove are in a "⋯" menu. An About section has the project page and log folder.
  • Single view for 360° cameras (right-click → 360° view).

Fixes

  • Security: the HTTPS/WebSocket client that talks to your consoles (undici) was on a version with several high-severity advisories, including a certificate-validation bypass. It's now on the patched 8.12.3.
  • Updates now work for both installed and portable copies. Installed copies run the new installer silently, so the uninstaller and shortcuts stay intact.

Install or upgrade

  • New install: run ProtectPanes-Setup.exe. It isn't code-signed, so Windows shows Windows protected your PC: click More info → Run anyway.
  • From 1.2.0: Settings → Updates → Check for updates, then Install. A 1.2.0 copy updates from the zip and stays portable. To switch to the installer, run ProtectPanes-Setup.exe once; your settings carry over.
  • From 1.0 or 1.1: quit the app (tray → Quit) and run the installer, or replace the folder with the zip.

Files

  • ProtectPanes-Setup.exe: the installer.
  • ProtectPanes-win32-x64.zip: the portable app.
  • latest.json: the signed manifest the in-app updater reads. Its SHA-256 lines let you check the two files by hand.
