Protect Panes is a free, open source Windows app for UniFi Protect live view. Each camera gets its own borderless window that you can place and size anywhere on your screens, next to whatever else you run, or you can gather cameras into grid windows. It connects to several UniFi OS consoles at once.
Video comes over the console's own livestream connection, the one Protect's web interface uses, so RTSP can stay off. It signs in by IP with a local, view-only account: no UI.com account, no MFA.
Also: 360-degree fisheye dewarping (quad, single view, panorama), a layout editor, import of Protect liveviews with their cycling tiles, camera previews, settings export to another PC, and signed in-place updates.
