UniFi Protect Goes Campus-Ready: Smoke Alarms, Vape Sensors, Fingerprint Access and New Cameras
Ubiquiti has added the life-safety, environmental and access-control pieces that large sites need — a UniFi Smoke Alarm, a vape/air-quality sensor, a G3 Fingerprint Reader, a G6 Mini Dome and the AI MultiSensor 2 — all managed natively in UniFi.
UniFi Protect started as a camera system. With this wave it becomes a genuine campus security platform — covering life safety, environmental monitoring and access control alongside video, all in the one license-free UniFi console. As Ubiquiti puts it, this delivers "the final pieces needed for truly large-scale deployments."
What's new for large-scale security
- UniFi Smoke Alarm — a life-safety device with a 10-year backup battery, SuperLink long-range connectivity, and a mobile app to silence false alarms
- Vape Detection & Air-Quality Sensor — PoE plug-and-play, with real-time calibration and native UniFi automations for safety workflows
- G3 Fingerprint Reader — indoor/outdoor access supporting fingerprint, Touch Pass, Bluetooth and PIN; PoE-native with retrofit-hub compatibility
- G6 Mini Dome — a compact 4K camera (100 mm) with a 1/1.8" sensor, IK08 vandal resistance and two-way audio
- AI MultiSensor 2 — two independent 4K imaging sensors in one IP66 device for wide coverage from a single mount
The connective tissue is SuperLink: "dependable long-range communication while maintaining centralised UniFi management," so smoke alarms and sensors reach across a whole campus without per-building hubs.

What you can deploy today: cameras
While the newest devices roll out, UniFi's current Protect cameras already cover most campus needs — domes and turrets for corridors and entries, bullets for perimeters, and AI cameras for wide areas.

That's exactly what this wave targets — life safety, access control, environmental sensing and video, centrally managed across multiple buildings via SuperLink and Site Manager, with no per-camera or per-door licence.
They were announced in June 2026 and we'll list them on tech2have.com.au as Australian stock is confirmed. Contact us to register interest, and in the meantime we can deploy the current Protect cameras, UniFi Access hardware and SuperLink sensors.
No — UniFi Protect and UniFi Access are license-free. You buy the hardware and a recorder/gateway; there's no ongoing per-device fee.
