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.

camera, the camera’s firmware must be updated to
version 3.9. To download the latest firmware for the
UniFi Video camera, go to downloads.ubnt.com/

field (where camera_IP is the IP address of the camera
