Connecting UniFi Protect
Open the recording of an access point in UniFi Protect and show cash and card payments as text over the camera footage.
Last updated on
With the UniFi Protect connection you get from an access attempt or an access point event to the recording of the matching camera in one click. Cash payments and card payments can also run as text over the footage of a camera, so you can look back when the till does not balance. Installing is the same as for every integration, see Installing an integration.
Before you start:
- The cameras are read on your park through the connector. It must be online. If it is not, Tillor reports The Tillor connector is offline or unreachable.
- You need the details of your UniFi OS console. That is the box or server UniFi Protect runs on.
- For the connection with access points, those access points must exist, see Access control.
Installing
Open the integration
Go to SettingsIntegrationsUniFi Protect.
Fill in the console
- Console host: the local IP address or hostname of your UniFi OS console.
- API key: a secret code you create in the console, which lets Tillor read cameras.
- Cloud console ID: the long ID after
/consoles/in the unifi.ui.com URL of your console.
Choose the payment cameras
Under Cash payments camera and POS payments camera choose a camera, or leave Do not register. POS is the card terminal.
Click Install
As soon as the host and API key are filled in, Tillor loads the cameras from the console.
Linking cameras to access points
After installing, the Settings block contains the Access point cameras table. Link each Access point to a Camera. If the list is empty, add access points first.
After that, the details of an access attempt and of an access point event show the Open in UniFi Protect link. It opens the recording around that moment in UniFi Protect, in a new tab.
What happens next?
- If you chose a camera under Cash payments camera or POS payments camera, Tillor sends every payment that becomes Paid to that camera. Cash payments go to the cash camera, card payments on a terminal go to the POS camera.
- Payments that were paid more than 24 hours ago no longer get text over the footage.
- Payments through Mollie only count if they belong to the main Mollie profile.
- If you change the details, save. If you leave the API key empty, the existing key stays in use. With Uninstall you remove the connection.
