Upcoming UniFi AI Key leaks from UWC Miami

At the end of October, Ubiquiti held one of its in person conferences again, where content creators, installers and IT professionals can all come together to hear from Ubiquiti employees about what rhe company is working on next. In October, the conference took place in Miami, Florida, but earlier in the year Ubiquiti ran conferences in Chicago, London, Singapore and other locations.

When you attend these events, the things discussed aren't NDA'd at all, but Ubiquiti asks that things aren't talked about. However, some attendees leaked a few of the devices talked about, one of which was the AI Key. From the header image, we can see that the device looks similar to the UniFi Cloud Key Gen2+, but has a small touchscreen for viewing various bits of information. Specs are below:

  • 1.3-inch touchscreen
  • Rackmountable with accessory
  • Connect and power via PoE++
  • Sharpen face recognition images for enhanced identification
  • Enable face and licence plate recognition on G4/G5 series an 3rd party ONVIF cameras
  • Transcribe speech events
  • Generate detailed descriptions for detection events with NeXT AI
  • Classify detections with tags/search for events with natural language

The AI Key looks to be a supplementary piece of hardware, used for handling AI processing for UniFi cameras and interestingly, third party ones too. It will enable face and licence plate detection for G4 and G5 UniFi cameras. Sadly this is all the information we have available and Ubiquiti should be lauchiing the AI Key at some stage. Once we have more information, be sure to check back to the interface for the latest.
