Ubiquiti UP-CHIME Wireless Access Point

Ubiquiti UP-CHIME Wireless Audio Alert Device

Overview

The Ubiquiti UP-CHIME (MPN: UP-CHIME) is a wireless audio notification device designed for UniFi Protect deployments. This compact accessory integrates with your UniFi security ecosystem to deliver real-time audio alerts and notifications across your facility. Weighing just 0.350 lb, the UP-CHIME provides a lightweight, easy-to-deploy solution for multi-site infrastructure environments where distributed alert management is required.

Key Features

The UP-CHIME connects via WiFi and operates within the UniFi Protect ecosystem, managed entirely through the UniFi Protect App. The platform supports Web v2.0+, iOS v1.6.2+, and Android v1.6.0+, enabling administrators to configure and monitor audio alerts from any connected device. As part of Ubiquiti's Security Accessories product family, the UP-CHIME is manufactured to consistent OEM standards and sourced from CN production facilities.

Deployment Scenarios

The UP-CHIME is suited for multi-building campuses, retail environments, and distributed office spaces where centralized alert distribution is needed. Use cases include event-triggered notifications from UniFi Protect cameras, scheduled announcements, and facility-wide alert distribution. The wireless connectivity eliminates the need for dedicated analog audio wiring, reducing installation complexity in retrofit deployments.

Network Integration

The UP-CHIME integrates seamlessly with UniFi Protect controller infrastructure. WiFi connectivity ensures compatibility with standard enterprise networks and guest SSIDs, while the UniFi Protect App provides unified management across all connected devices. Integration with camera events and recording schedules allows automated audio responses to motion detection or other triggered conditions.

Installation Notes

Deploy the UP-CHIME within WiFi range of your UniFi network. Onboarding occurs through the UniFi Protect App—select the device during provisioning and assign it to a location or zone. No additional configuration is required beyond standard network connectivity. The lightweight form factor allows flexible wall, shelf, or bracket mounting based on facility acoustics and coverage requirements.

Expert Commentary from Jerry Tildsen, Systems Architect: "The UP-CHIME fills a critical gap in distributed UniFi Protect deployments. When you're managing alerts across multiple buildings or zones, having a native wireless speaker that responds to camera events and controller rules significantly improves operational response times. The UP-CHIME integrates without requiring external speakers or analog infrastructure, which simplifies both initial deployment and ongoing maintenance. For campus environments, this is a logical addition to your UniFi Protect stack."
