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

Fixes

  • In-app updates of the portable (zip) copy failed when the app had been started from Explorer or a shortcut, which is almost always. The update downloaded and verified, then the log said couldn't move … aside (a file in it is still in use), and the old version restarted. The update helper was starting inside the app's folder, and Windows won't rename a folder some process is working in. That includes the helper itself. The helper now starts from the updates folder.
  • Arrange and the layout editor's Use what's on screen could miss windows. A camera window that had just opened, been restored, or been moved to another screen sometimes wasn't counted until something else changed in the camera list.

Install or upgrade

  • New install, or switching from the portable copy: quit the app (tray → Quit) and run ProtectPanes-Setup.exe. It installs for your Windows user, with no admin prompt, and adds Start menu and desktop shortcuts. Your cameras, layouts and settings carry over. It isn't code-signed, so Windows shows Windows protected your PC: click More info → Run anyway.
  • From 1.2.0 or 1.3.0 (portable): those versions have the bug, so they can't update themselves. Install once by hand: either run the installer as above, or quit the app and replace the folder with the zip. From 1.3.1 on, Settings → Updates → Install works.
  • From 1.3.0 (installed with Setup.exe): Settings → Updates → Check for updates, then Install. Installed copies don't rename their folder, so this bug didn't affect them.

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.
