Appendix B: Standalone Mode

Standalone mode lets you directly access a UniFi Video 
camera via a web browser, without using the UniFi Video 
software. Use standalone mode to set up a camera right of 
the box, and to view a live video feed via RTSP streaming.

Using Standalone Mode

 To use standalone mode on a UniFi Video 

camera, the camera’s firmware must be updated to 
version 3.9. To download the latest firmware for the 
UniFi Video camera, go t

downloads.ubnt.com/

1.  Enter 

https://<camera_IP>

 in your browser’s address 

field (where

Return 

(Mac).

Continue

 and 

follow the prompts. Otherwise, click
