Overview

This article lists the ports used for the UniFi Video line, for both insecure (http), and secure (https) connections.

NOTES & REQUIREMENTS: This article only enables access directly by the NVR's IP address, or a domain name if you've configured one. If your intention is to access the NVR by cloud, you will need to allow the NVR to communicate outbound on any UDP port to establish WebRTC connections.

Port List

Back to Top

These are the ports used by UniFi Video. Keep in mind the following about "Direction":

• From camera to NVR: ports used if cameras and Network Video Recorder (NVR) are on a different subnet or separated by the internet. Please note that when Purpose states "NVR Side", the port must be made available externally to the NVR; and when it states "Camera Side", the port must be made available externally to the camera.
• From NVR to camera: ports used will need to be made available if the camera is on another subnet, or separated by the internet.
• From client to NVR: ports used between the client and NVR when attempting to view streams and/or recordings from a separate subnet or over the internet.

When Accessing the NVR from a Remote LAN:

*NVR Side = Port must be made available externally to the NVR

**Camera Side = Port must be made available externally to the Camera

***Mobile Specific = Port must not be changed for Mobile app to function properly

How to Configure Custom Ports

Back to Top

WARNING: Changing the app.https.port is currently not supported, as there is no option within the Camera Web Interface to define a custom port.

1. To change port values, locate system.properties in the following directory:
• Windows: C:\ProgramData\unifi-video\data
• Linux: /usr/lib/unifi-video/data
2. Open system.properties with a text editor.
3. "Uncomment" the desired keys by deleting the number sign (#), then change the port number.

   # unifi-video v3.9.12
   is_default=false
   uuid=...
   # app.http.port = 7080
   # app.https.port = 7443
   # ems.liveflv.port = 6666
   # ems.livews.port = 7445
   # ems.livewss.port = 7446

4. Save and close system.properties.
5. Restart the UniFi Video service.
• Windows: via System Tray/Notification Area icon
• Linux: sudo /etc/init.d/unifi-video restart

Utilizing UBNT Cloud

Back to Top

In order to make use of UBNT Cloud, You'll need to make sure to implement the following firewall rules:

• Allow all UDP from LAN -> WAN (to establish outbound connections to the other peer)
• Allow Solicited Inbound UDP Traffic from WAN -> LAN
