Changing the credentials for web access (firmware upgrade, janky jpeg-based live stream, etc.) and ssh access from the default ubnt:ubnt. Surprisingly, I don't see a page for this in the web UI, and the `password` command in the CLI is ineffective. I haven't looked around the filesystem.

Setting where it sends the video stream.

Configuring video settings, zone detections, etc. I found a video going through them here: <https://youtu.be/URam5XSFzuM?si=8WK4Yghh9kidZe6c&t=279> Just about any other camera lets you change this stuff through the camera's built-in web interface and/or ONVIF. Ubiquitis apparently don't.

> Otherwise it's just a device on your network that you can configure Frigate etc. to connect to and pull streams.

No, it connects to you!

Im using a g3 flex with frigate without use of unifi protect, works fine.

I think newer models like g4 flex dont support this thou.

You want to change the credentials of the camera, so Frigate can log into it while it is connected to your Unifi network?

I did that for 5 different cameras yesterday, you're saying Unifi's cameras doesn't allow user management? That sucks!

> No, it connects to you!

I thought frigate connects to the camera's RTSP stream (maybe with ONVIF in the mix)?
