This has brought me into the UniFi Protect ecosystem. Protect is absolutely designed to work with UniFi cameras — as one would expect — but they do have some basic support for third-party cameras that support ONVIF.

Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-04 22:52:55

Android's open nature set it apart from the iPhone as the era of touchscreen smartphones began nearly two decades ago.
